The Spinks fight completely ruined Mayorgas work ethic, watch the Trinidad fight, Mayorga was outworking and outboxing Trinidad till he started slowing down, even Roy Jones said the same during his comentating.
Yeah but Vargas was a much better fighter and boxer in his day than he was in that fight. I don't think Mayorga could have beat the Vargas that fought ODH or even the one that fought Mosley the first time.
I agree.

A prime Vargas would beat a prime Mayorga.

He was bigger, stronger, and a far better boxer.

Would have been a great fight though.

Much better than the sloppy but entertaining match they had at 164 lbs or whatever it was.

At that point Mayorga just wanted it more and was a little fresher.
