Cotto doesn't exactly throw a lot of punches nor have great stamina himself. Sure, Cotto is favourite and the much younger guy, but Mayorga at his best is never easy for anyone.
"Once upon a time", Mayorga was! you said it your self, if he puts in the work. While Cotto can't last against the super endurance freaks his not going to be pounded by Mayorga because he'll box him.
Perhaps, I haven't said I disagree with you entirely. That's why I want to see this fight, it might well be more interesting than is supposed to be the case. I'm sure Forrest thought he would box Mayorga too, not as easy as it looks. Maybe Cotto will do it like DLH, but maybe not. Let's just see, eh.
