Mayorga Vs. Cotto for March??

[Themantonio]

Sorry guys, off topic, how did Mayorga go in MMA? Sorry 4my ignorance...

[hardcore_crash]

Don King raced down the highway with one million dollars in cash, to prevent the show from taking place. He ruined the whole show.

Really good matchup for Cotto...
The Yuri fight was just weird.

Cotto wins via TKO.
Cotto needs to box early make Mayorga come to him then in the mid rounds just bring it and get the TKO.

Again I think this is a good fight for him.
Some of you guys know how huge of Cotto fan I am.
But I think Sergio flat out beats him and outboxes him with possibly a late TKO.
Sergios style is just all wrong for Cotto.

I think Vanes starts off well but he's just not seasoned enough.
I've seen Vanes fight and train and to be quite honest he doesn't impress me.
I mean the kids got good speed and def. knows how to box BUT it takes a lot more then that to beat Cotto. I think Vanes should face someone like Bundrage or Powell.

I don't think Cotto is the same fighter anymore.

Miles not being a wanka or anything but it doesnt take a genius to figure that out.
No fighter is ever the same after they've been in the kind of fights Cottos been in.

However Cotto still shows that when he decides to box he can.
He just has that live by the gun die by the gun style which made him more popular when he was coming up. I think that style get's the best of him and he just goes for it.

I have absolutely zero doubts that Cotto can beat Vanes, Kermit, Angulo and Alvarez.

Mayorga would have a fair shot at taking Cotto out IMO.

Mayorgas chances are as good as you throwing a haymaker...
For anyone to think Mayorgas got a good chance. Is really stretching out this whole "Cottos done" or "Cottos on the decline" thing a bit too far.
To think that Mayorga stands a chance is just nonsense.
I'm not talking about a hayemaker shot.
I'm talking about some actually thinking Mayorga will win with a plan of boxing and getting either a decision or a TKO.

Thats not why I think Mayorga has a good chance.

Go on boxrec and look at his schedule of fights. Since Trinidad its been once a year, his last fight was the first in over 2. Even the Trinidad fight he was out 6 months before. I know alot of other fighters have these absenses and still do well but they have a bit more love for the sport than Ricardo does. He wants money which is why he doesnt mind taking these big fights when he knows hes not going to be ready.

I think if hed have fought only 2 or 3 months before the Trinidad fight or the fight had been at light middle that Ricardo would have won. He was doing well and hurting Trinidad until he ran out of steam in the 4th and just allowed Trinidad to work on him. Felix couldnt dent his chin still, it was a body shot. ricardo needs to be active and fighting at a decent weight to force him to train. Hes not technically gifted but is tough and strong. When Mosley fought him he said that Oscar warned him that Mayorga is "very heavy handed".

I just think that these 9 rounds hes just got done will do his chances the world of good. He didnt have a lot of notice for the fight but fought a decent pace for 9 rounds and still had the power to wobble and drop Walker in the 9th and Walker is a solid middle that Andy Lee couldnt drop in Walkers previous fight.

As long as Ricardo trains and trains hard I think he could put Cotto in to his shell. Especially if he starts fast and lands something decent early. Iv always thought Ricardo would beat Cotto. Maybe hes too old now and the legs have slowed but the Mayroga that beat Forrest in those fights would ruin Cotto and would have given Mayweather and Pacquiao some exciting fights too.

Pointless fight, again. He's getting good at these.

This is my first post in this topic. This is why I think Mayorga wins.

Also. Who gave Mosley a harder fight, Margarito or Mayorga? and who battered Cotto? If Margarito can do that, a slow not very powerfull fighter, then Mayorga certainly has a chance!

Margarito has an * in his fight against Cotto for most likely loading his gloves

and that logic is ridiculous, Shane Mosley lost to Forrest twice, Mayorga beat Forrest twice, Mosley knocked Mayorga the fuck out

Mosley beat DLH twice (IMO once but well his record says 2 wins), and DLH sparked Mayorga easier and quicker than both Trinidad and Mosley

styles make fights and Mayorga's style (and given the fact that he doesn't load his gloves) is perfect for Cotto

Well if you gone on the logic of who gave Mosley a harder fight, Cotto fucking beat him, and Mayorga got sparked by him. So really, that is stupid logic.

Cotto has fought a few big punching wild swingers and come out on top. De La Hoya picked his shots against Mayorga and absolutely beat the crap out of him. Cotto is a skilled, methodical nasty bastard inside a boxing ring. He will pick Mayorga off all night and won't hear the final bell.

Like Titofan said, make sure you come in here after the fight. I'll sig bet with you if you're so damn sure. Put your money where your mouth is.

To be fair, both men gave Mosley a hard nights work and Mosley was fighting at different weights. In this fight Cotto will be in Mayorga's ballpark and that will have an impact. Cotto has had one fight at 154 and that was against a JMW version of Paulie Malignaggi. I also think Mosley went into the Cotto fight respecting Cotto a little too much early on.

I'm not as certain as Ross as I sit on the fence a lot more these days, but Mayorga anywhere near his best is likely a tough nights work for Cotto. As much as I dislike DLH, I don't think Cotto is on the same level as DLH was when DLH toyed with Mayorga. Cotto has a lot of question marks over him and that Pac fight must have taken a lot too.

Cotto should really be at 147, he is such a small JMW. Mayorga will balloon above him and will likely try and rough him up and it isn't as though Cotto doesn't cut these days.

Mayorga is much bigger than Cotto who has only fought one fight at 154 and against a pillow puncher in Foreman. Cotto wasn't exactly a big WW and I thought it strange to see him go up and fight at 154. I just think he is too small for the best in the division and against someone as big as Mayorga who has been fighting as high as MW and above in recent years is extremely dangerous. I can see Mayorga's unorthodox style taking Cotto out of his comfort zone and giving him fits. Even Mosley was having a hard time of it until he finally managed to make an impact and I don't think Cotto has Mosley's kind of power nor endurance. Plus I can't see Cotto stopping Mayorga, not at LMW.

Cotto should be fighting at WW where he belongs. I think he has just too small a frame to be as relevant at LMW as he was at WW.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

i'm a big fan of cotto, he's one of the best fighters of the last decade.....tho on the big steep slide down i think if he's got anything left in the tank he can outbox ricardo here.........goto say i like mayorga to, not his dirty trash talk but his in ring entertainment, tho he also is a fighter one stop from shot...i thnik this one will be enterment value how ever long it lasts...mayorgas a one man circus

Cut - I disagree. I see Vanes, Kermit, and Angulo beating Cotto at 154. Alvarez may be too green. Cotto beats Wolak.

I'm a big fan of both Cotto and Mayorga. More so of Mayorga though.

And he most DEFINATELY stands a chance against Cotto. We all know Cotto has always been a cut below Oscar and Tito.

And Cotto ain't what he used to be.

Mayorga throws a good jab, good uppercuts, as well as his OVERHAND right.

Its easy and popular amongst some boxing schnobs to condescend and dismiss Mayorga, but the reality of this fight is that Mayorga has a very good shot of pressuring Cotto, and getting to him.

Mayorga just KO'd a middleweight.

I expect a very good fight that could go either way.

I'm happy for Mayorga !
