Cotto vs Mayorga - Top Rank Trailer

[No Contest]

Even if he got up against Shane he would have still lost on the cards. It was a damn close fight though, and alot of people here on saddos thought Mayorga was up on points at the time of the KO. I thought Cotto was lucky to get the win vs Shane, I think I had it a 1 point win for Shane. So judging by common opponent it should be a good fight, Mayorga can box better than people give him credit for. He was schooling Vargas(yeah a washed up Vargas but still). He should have got the win against Spinks, seemed like the ref was just looking for anything to deduct points. I'll have to watch that again because its been awhile and I think I missed the first few rounds. I think this will be a early contender for FOTY if Mayorga gets in good shape.

if Mayorga gets in good shape.

This what my thinking is depending on. Im hoping that the recent fight has given him a good spring board to jump in to this camp in relatively good shape and bearing in mind a win puts him in line for a fight with Pacquiao I think he might just train for this fight!

Mayorga on his day makes Cotto quit faster than he did with Margarito. In fact I dont think Cotto will get the choice to quit. Mayorga will be the heaviest puncher that Cotto has faced.

Mosley hits a hell of a lot harder than Mayorga, as well as Margarito with his loaded gloves , like i said Cotto will stop him and make him bitch out as he did against DLH, and well when that happens you'll be nowhere to be found

No.

Mayorgas heavy punches made Forrest wilt and fight cautious. Vernon walked through Mosleys. De La Hoya has stated that Mayorga has "very heavy hands" but hes never comented on Shanes power. Shane is quick but he doesnt hit as hard as Ricardo

Spinks ate Taylors punches up but got dropped by Mayorga. Vargas got dropped twice by Mayorga but Mosley couldnt.

hahaha what punches? there were like 20 punches combined the entire fight, Mayorga beat a shot Vargas with a fucked up back by Majority Decision, Mosley won by stoppage, then by a ONE PUNCH KNOCKOUT in the rematch! only guy he beat by KO which is a standout is Forrest who didn't take the fight seriously, nice try though

lol Mosley def did a better job on Vargas in the second fight. Knocked him clean out.

Mayorga beat Forrest TWICE. Deal with it.

Now do you remember the Cotto vs. Ricardo Torres fight ?

Cotto got dropped hard twice in that one, and Mayorga is A LOT like Torres except bigger, tougher, and better.

And that was Cotto in his prime at 140, not the Cotto of now.

Mayorga has a real chance in this fight. You don't want to believe it because you are such a die hard Cotto fan. But Mayorga is capable of beating him.

yea i do remember the Cotto/Torres fight, i know you don't cause you said it your self you haven't watched ANY of Cotto's fights, he was dropped ONCE, the first knockdown of his career, and he ended up dropping Torres twice and KO'ing him with a body shot, Torres also has both better speed and technique than Mayorga, and i'm leaving it there, make sure to log on and take your pokes once Cotto wrecks Mayorga

For those not only in this thread but also in other threads that say Cotto is done...

A shitload of you said that he was done after the Margarito fight that he would go on to lose the next fight.
He went on to win 2 fights... Not the highest caliber of fighters but nonetheless wins.
He loses to Pac.
Then here come the comments again now he's really done.
He wont with again he's damaged goods.
He goes on to win, again not the highest caliber of fighter but a win.

Keep in mind both Jennings & Foreman were fights coming off of loses.

A fighter doesn't have to be beaten to a pulp or go through brutal wars to be done.
Theirs fighters who were never in wars and just lose it from 1 fight to another for various other reasons.
I think after both loses to Tony & Pac Cotto showed lot's of boxing ability and desire.

I think he will prove once again that he's a great champ and I don't mean by beating Ricardo. I think the Ricardo fight is more of spectacle then actual matchup.

Cotto IMO can still beat the likes of; Angulo, Cintron, K9 and Tony.

That pic looks like they gave Cotto Reyes gloves and Mayorga got heavyweight Grant gloves without the logo.

I like Cotto and never said he was done. Before the Foreman fight I was saying that it was outrageous to suggest Foreman was going to beat Cotto, Cotto would crush him and he did.

But Mayorga hits A LOT harder than Foreman.

And it certainly will be a spectacle if Mayorga is able to knock Cotto out !

Mayorga would beat those 2

Neither of those 2 were capable of bullying Cotto and neither is a puncher. They were picked for Cotto so he doesnt crumble mentally again. Arum is trying to squeeze money out of him and I reckon if he didnt have Margarito and Pacquiao lined up for him that he would probably have retired by now, or still be enjoying the time off before making an unsuccessfull comeback.

Cottos heart isnt in this any more, at least not when he gets in a real fight again.

This what my thinking is depending on. Im hoping that the recent fight has given him a good spring board to jump in to this camp in relatively good shape and bearing in mind a win puts him in line for a fight with Pacquiao I think he might just train for this fight!

Mayorga on his day makes Cotto quit faster than he did with Margarito. In fact I dont think Cotto will get the choice to quit. Mayorga will be the heaviest puncher that Cotto has faced.

Your posts always stick out from the rest because of your hatred of Cotto. So I'll address your post. First... your labeling of Cotto as a "quitter" shows how precious little you know about boxing. The guy is anything BUT a quitter. But you hate Cotto so much you can't give him an ounce of credit. The guy's a warrior, and 99.99% of this forum knows that. That he took a knee against Margarito and his questionable, loaded gloves... when his nose had been broken back in the 2nd round and his face was a swollen, bloody mess? Yes, he did. Probably why he's still able to fight now.

But back to Cotto-Mayorga. I've always said Mayorga has the "proverbial" puncher's chance. He's wild... he's powerful. If Cotto allows a big shot early, it could be trouble. I'm sure Stewart is schooling him to be careful in the first few rounds. And yes... Cotto is naturally the smaller man. On the other hand, he's twice... no... scratch that... he's MANY times the boxer Mayorga is. He can stick and move, he can bang to the body, he can play defense when he has to. If he brings his "A" game... he should come out on top. Yes, Mayorga's tough, rugged, and hits hard. But he's a wild swinger with no game plan other than throw haymakers all night.

He's trying to get into Cotto's mind, so Cotto will come out mad at the opening bell and trade with him. I bet Stewart has warned him about that, so I doubt Cotto will make that mistake.

One thing, BTW. As usual... win or lose... I plan to be on the forum after the fight.
Just make sure you do the same.
