Look at the Vernon forrest fight for example, after he handed Shane Mosley 2 losses back to back. Forrest went in against someone who he was expected to beat and got his butt kicked back to back losses he suffered at the hands of Mayorga. This was all Mayorga when he was doing what he does best Brawling.

In the Trinidad fight, he was just too small for middleweight, he only put on weight to fight trinidad and was already fatigued by the end of the 2nd round....and that is a shame because Trinidad landed almost 66% of his total power shots. Look how long it took trinidad to finish Mayorga. There is no way in Hell De La Hoya would have ever been able to take that kind of punches from Trinidad.

Mayorga is at the perfect weight, 154lbs and he is training like a animal. He will be more than ready to take on DLH. De La hoya is going to have alot of problems fighting Mayorga because he is just way too wild.

Vernon Forrest at his best couldn't figure it out. He was running from Mayorga all night~~

Mayorga is training to Brawl, he already knows that De La hoya is a better boxer and has better footwork, so he's not even going to fool himself like Gatti did when he fought Mayweather and try to outbox or box with him, he is gonna Brawl with DLH...DLH has never been in the ring with someone like Mayorga.... and it will be interesting what happens when DLH gets hit by Mayorga. We all know that Mayorga can take DLH punching power, but the question remains is that can DLH take Mayorga's??
are you kidding me? DLH has been in the ring with MUCH better opponents than Mayorga, you seriously lack any boxing knowledge if you think otherwise. he beat Trinidad, and Vargas, who each hit just as hard as Mayorga and have far superior skills. Hopkins and Sturm, probably hit just as hard as Mayorga. Also, I hate it when people talk about how the brawler won't make the mistake of trying to box ala Gatti Mayweather: because the fact is this is BOXING, and almost always the better boxer will win and strategy comes second. Of Course DLH can take Mayorgas power if he even needs to, he has a great chin. I also love how you say "there is no way DLH would have been able to take that kind of punchers from Trinidad".. How about the fact that DLH didn't get HIT with that kind of punches from trinidad.. And if Trinidad couldn't hit him flush how the fuck is Mayorga going to.. .
