He had nagging injuries when he fought Mayorga, a damaged shoulder that he couldn't afford to take time off for and heal.Originally Posted by fluffyninja
His losses to Mayorga were much the same as Holyfield's losses to the likes of Toney and Larry Donald.
Now he's taken time off and got healed up he still has time to be a major player.
If he hadn't have suffered the string of injuries in his earlier career his name would be up there with the likes of De La Hoya, Mosely, Trinidad etc as one of the best welterweights of the past decade.
Hopefully he'll have enough left to make up for lost time now.
