Mayorga hasn't fought or beaten anyone world class in a long time, he's not a feared fighter, he's not in the greatest shape, and when he's been pressed he breaks down. Margarito was one of the most dangerous fighters around when he fought Cotto, he took punishment and handed it out with some sort of sick twisted happiness....and he was a cheater too so the comparisons are erroneous unless Mayorga tries to load his wraps. Furthermore Mayorga doesn't throw 100+ punches a round and he doesn't react well to being picked off by counter punches.

Cotto may not be what he used to be but he has enough in his tank to take Mayorga to school....in a very painful way.
I wasnt comparing Mayorga to Margarito, I just said there are similar pictures where Mayorga and Margaritos opponents are being battered

Also, Margarito might throw that many punches a round but he isnt as big a puncher or as strong as Mayorga. Mosley walked through Margaritos punches and had him out in the ninth but in his very next fight against Ricardo, he is extended in to the 12th and was very wary of Mayorgas power, even jumping off the floor to hold and grab at one point.

Like I said, regardless of age, Mayorga will be the strongest and hardest hitting fighter that Cotto has faced.
