Mayorga Vs. Cotto for March??

[El Kabong]

I give Mayorga a shot at anyone to be honest.
147-154

Mayorga couldn't make 147 again if he weighed in on the Moon!

You Mayorga fans feel free to be as wrong as you like....Cotto is a boxer/puncher, Manny Steward has a pretty simple task in getting him to at least outbox Mayorga, and hell we don't even know if Mayorga can make 154 legally anymore....he got busted for taking a diuretic vs De la Hoya and that was the last time he fought at 154. Ricardo hasn't improved with age....no matter what you think of Cotto he would always ALWAYS beat Ricardo Mayorga.

Lol yeah he hasn't made 147 since the younger days.
Cotto chin keeps getting tested though and it has been for years.
Can he take some of the shots Oscar, Tito, Mosley have taken??
Cotto is not too hard to hit even when he is backpedaling or skipping round the ring.


Who do you think would win vs Mayorga/Margarito??
After all, Margarito just fought the p4p "1"...

Cotto's taken some hellacious shots I don't think he has a bad chin, his defense could be improved, but oh well.

Mayorga-Margarito is a more logical match up in my opinion

I dont think Cotto has a bad chin. I just think he can be bullied, intimidated. If his opponent has something that can counter his own work I have always felt he would fall apart. He doesnt seem to have a higher gear to fight back or figure an opponent out.

To be fair, it doesnt take much to figure Mayorga out but when you arent that great defensively and are are relatively week minded as I think Cotto is, then when Mayorga gets in decent shape and marauds him constantly and lands some clean shots I think Cotto will just gradually get beaten up and probably take another knee.

Relatively weak minded. Bro do you live in a cave? Cotto fought Mosely prior to PBF and beat him, fought Marg before he got caught and Clottey. Miguel Cotto is a warrior!!!

I can see why he said that. Cotto did take a knee from the pressure Margarito put on him, and you could see he just didn't want to be in there against Pac in the last round or two.
Let's make one thing clear everyone who laces the pair of gloves is a warrior in my eyes. Cotto is no exception. He definately has heart and balls to be in there and take some of the beatings he's taken.
He just seems to break down when he is not the bully or is being pushed around himself.
Out of all the things Cotto that took him down a few notches in my book was when he low blowed Zab constantly to save his life...

[Mr140]

Well to be honest i thought Cotto lost the Clottey and Mosley fights. Not to mention the beatings he has got form Pac and Margarito so i am not so sure of his chances to be honest.

low blowed?! I think Zab is just O.A.
I never thought Miguel was in anywhere shape or form in trouble vs Zab.
Regarding Mosely, Cotto convincingly beat him, even Mosely have no qualms about it.
Cotto is a near perfect gentleman IMO!!!

[Nameless]

Cotto is way too fast and technical for El'matator, I predict an old school beating under the guidance of Manny Stewart, nothing less.

The thing is not everyone has what it takes to bully the likes of Miguel Cotto and I highly doubt that someone who hasn't made 154 in over 5 years and is 37 going on 38 years old is going to bully Miguel Cotto better than Shane Mosley could.

Shane Mosley has a better chin, faster hands, sharper punches....putting Mayorga in with Cotto you can expect another version of the Abdullaev fight where Cotto boxes more, picks his time to pour on the punishment, and then circles out and draws Mayorga into more counter punches.

Who do you think would win vs Mayorga/Margarito??
After all, Margarito just fought the p4p "1"...

Im hoping that Ricardo gets in to good shape for Cotto, if he does that it certainly wont be a shock to see Cotto take his worse loss. In that kind of shape and form Mayorga would be at least competative with anyone and id say he beats Margarito easier than he does Cotto. At least Cotto knows how to run sideways

and you got that from him beating a dude who was whooped by the likes of Andy Lee , and who just so happened to be 1-5 in his last 6 fights (last 2 being by TKO both stopping earlier than Mayorga did)

Your hate for Cotto oozes out of your pores. I hope you're not too emotionally affected if and when Cotto knocks out Mayorga.
