Ricardo Mayorga

[purtyboy]

Im a huge mayorga fan. That being said i think Mosley will take this one. My boy Mayorga hasn't look good since a long time his win over vargas was decent but Mosley close loss to Cotto was far more impressive. Towards the Mayorga>Forrest>Mosley factor i don't bite into that for i belive styles make fights. Also that can easily be counter wit Mosley>Oscar>Mayorga... anyways good fight can't wait.

Ricardo is a threat to any good fighter.



But Shane Mosley is a great fighter.

if u want to talk about mosley and cotto, well that was a weird fight because cotto for some reason started backing up in the late rounds, and cotto started fighting like mosley in teh late rounds and mosley started to fight like cotto..........if cotto didnt change his style up he would have won the fight with a bigger margin.....

and if mosley couldnt handle the pressure by cotto that way in the early rounds how the hell is going to handle the pressure by mayorga.

just a thought, i still think mosley is a smart fighter and mayorga is a crowd pleaser, so maybe that might be the difference but im a huge mayorga fan hes what makes boxing a it more fun to watch....LOL

Cotto wasn't beaten by a LIMITED fighter in Margarito...anyone who takes that kind of punishment and throws that many punches without stopping is by no means LIMITED.


Shane Mosley has a GREAT chin and I don't think Mayorga throws crisply enough to bother Shane. Ricardo throws loopy wide thudding punches and I don't see those hurting or bothering Shane as much as the quick sharp punches like the right cross of Vernon Forrest.


Mayorga hasn't seen 147 in quite some time...I think it's going to be bad for his chin IF he's able to actually make the weight. Though if Mayorga does win it may set up a fight vs Margarito which would be AWESOME!

Ross doesn't understand that styles make fights.

I understand that Forrest couldnt put a dent in Mayorga even being given free shots but he could Mosley and Mayorgas power could hurt Forrest but Moselys couldnt.

Either Mayorgas skills allowed him these advantages over Forrest or Mayorga will prove just too much of an animal for an old Mosley to deal with, I dont think Shane wants someone as resiliant and power full and agressive, mauling him at this point in his career especially.

Shane looks good when his opponents stand back and think, we al know Mayorga is just going to swing like fuuck, one of his over hand rights is gonna make Mosley see sense

Once again you prove how little you understand boxing.

Ha ha, we'll see

Styles had nothing to do with mayorgas ability to take a shot better than Shane, or his power advantage

At 34 years old Ricardo Mayorga is no spring chicken either. And it's been 5 years since Ricardo has made 147

[ross]

The fight is at 154lbs not 147, Maoyorga just proved he can be effective at 162, he is gonna be to strong and aggressive for a less mobile Shane to cope with

[El Kabong]

Mayorga has not competed with a top teir fighter in a LONG time....he's been sparked out by all of them.

Mosley is still fighting and being competitive with top level competition.


At 147 or 154 Shane has the better skill and the faster hands and he's going to pick Ricardo apart
