Why the HECK is Mayorga being considered an opponent for Cotto?

[Kev]

Why the HECK would you not want to see Cotto and Mayorga get it on?

That's a crazy fight, Mayorga is on a high after beating Vargas, he holds two wins over the current number junior middleweight in the world and his fight with De La Hoya took over 900,000 buys.

Commercially his devlish wild man persona draws crowds and PPV's and he has a fight style that guarantees excitement in every fight.

I'd FUCKING LOVE this fight to happen!

Why would I not want to see this fight? Gee...let me think about that...

*when was Mayorga last fighting effectively at 147?

*Since when does a win over a shot to shit fighter like Vargas at a weight class 24 pounds higher qualify you for a fight v a top name at 147?

*Why would Mayorga v Cotto be more exciting than Margarito/Cintron/Williams/Clottey v Cotto? Those fights are also more meaningful too.

I'm sick of these gimmicky fights. Mayorga couldn't make 147 and fight effectively.

Perhaps Mayorga doen't deserve a shot at Cotto. However, this fight is being considered for a variety of reasons. First, Mayorga, with his pre-fight antics, will definitely make this fight a highly anticipated one. It will be interesting to note how the flamboyant and LOUD Mayorga will affect the calm and stoic Cotto. Will Cotto lose his cool during one of those press conferences that will surely be scheduled? In the ring, Mayorga was pretty good/strong at 147. Can he make the weight? I am sure he can for millions of dollars. Also, when has a Mayorga fight not been interesting or exciting ? Cory Spikns? That's the only one I can think of. The constant pressure Mayorga (and dare I say equal or more power than Miguel) brings to a fight will certainly test Cotto and lead to an exciting fight. I would definitely like to see this fight and if Miguel is offered a lot of money, he would, without a doubt, take it.

1. it would be a v.exciting fight
2. mayorga is well known so it would boost his popularity therefor making a fight with floyd more likely

[Macho]

Well, we have to think also that Mayorga is a good Ticket Saler and a good agitator fighter , maybe is possible to make money and it wiil be a good match up , but i dont think that he deserve a shot with Cotto. After all it going be difficult for him to make the weight, if that fight happen; i bet to Cotto by KO in middle of the fight , with smoking and drinking i dont think so, Cotto is more stronghest . Is true why the Heck they want step in Mayorga first than Margarito?.........

[NUCLEAR BULL]

i think the reasons are that........... mayorgas a name in decline who will fry himself trying to make weight, el matador is still a crowd draw due to his madness, many people may still give him a chance because his very heavy handed at welter but cottos to fresh at this moment

it would be a good fight and continue to up cottos profile, coto seems to fight name fighters.........good on the guy he's a true champion, if many others where like him we'd enjoy more top fights

go cotto

[Taeth]

Because beating Margarito won't mean anything to the average person. Margarito is not a big enough name to really improve Cotto's noteriety. Neither is Cintron because while this fight is huge in PR Cotto is already known by everyone in PR. Mayorga is well known, he plays the villain very well because against MOsley it was hard to really choose a guy to cheer for, but with this fight a lot of people will be cheering for Cotto.

However, Can Mayorga make 147? I highly doubt it, but we will see.

Agree totally. Plus I think Mayorga has a great puncher's chance of KO'n Cotto. Big Time.

I actually agree. I think this will test cottos chin, the first punchers hes faced at welterweight.

Don't think Mayorga can get down to 147 anyhow. But he could with the help of some supplements and what not. IF there is mucho dinero involved, Mayorga's weightclass shifts from Pacqauio to Tyson.
