I couldn't agree more.

I love the trash talking pot faced bastard but he fights like once a year !

Hopefully he will get a fight with Cotto as Ross has suggested he may well do.
Yep I reckon its a real possibility. King will want to make some money and that means either Cotto or Pacquiao but Pacquiao has bigger fish to fry.

A Cotto match makes good sense for Mayorga as Cotto is the smaller man and fights at a slow pace. The fight would also be at light middle and realisticly that will be Ricardos optimum fighting weight seeing as his welter days were 7 years ago! He would be in better shape than coming in at 162 and has 9 good rounds behind him now.

The more impressive thing about his fight last night was that after more than 2 years out he had enough stamina to beat up and drop a naturally stronger man late in the fight. Andy Lee couldnt make Walker go down but Ricardo did. Hes a strong bastard and I reckon if he knuckled down in training with this walker match giving him sharpness he could treat Cotto like a ragdoll!

He did train hard for the Mosley fight I think but he just lacked sharpness and stamina from not having fought for a year or so. All he needs now is to stay active and that will give him a good chance to not only keep his name out there and make himself a viable opponent but also get him physically ready to throw his haymakers all night long
