One little thing iv just thought of that I havent seen mentioned. As well as training Cotto, Steward is also training Wladamir and Andy Lee for upcoming fights and also now has Chad Dawson. Dont know who else he has but each of those mentioned will believe they are more important than the next and want Stewards time and dedication. he could be spreading himself too thin and not be able to focus on each individual fighter properly.
Dawson doesn't have a fight scheduled, now that his rematch with Pascal is in question due to the WBC ordering Pascal to rematch Hopkins
Lee isn't gonna be priority over Cotto, and Wlad fights in April, it's not like Steward hasn't ever trained more than one guy at a time, if Roach can do it Steward sure as hell can
It's a joke how Mayorga turns up and doesnt train? What sort of an arrogant fighter wouldn't train for a championship bout? He should be fully training his ass off because as far as I'm concerned he's a nobody now and he has much to prove! I'm routing for cotto in this one
I think youll find that Mayorga gets people interested. Look at all the other upcoming fights that are scheduled. Pac v Mosley, Bradley v Alexander, Klitschko v Adameck, Froch v Abraham and so on...
Cotto v Mayorga though is what people are mostly talking about because of Mayorga![]()
Its funny how many people buy into Mayorga's act and take it seriously.
Mayorga is full of shit when he talks all that nonsense. Its all for show and to hype up the fight.
He likes playing the bad guy and as a result a lot of people hate him. Personally I love the crazy bastard !
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Ross - it doesn't mean anything though I would prefer to watch froch who's beating high class opposition every fight and dedicated to training! He deserves to be called the champion! Same for Bradley making the effort to draw attention to a his career by fighting Devon! He's trained to hard and cares a lot for this fight. However Mayorga has a loud mouth and hasn't been champ for years and doesnt train enough he's been inactive for so long. He smokes and portrays a bad image which a boxer shouldn't have. I don't respect a fighter like that at all. I would much rather watch Bradley and froch than Mayorga. I hope and know that his under preparation and loud mouth will cost him. Cotto is better than Mayorga and will beat him. Mayorgas days are long gone and cotto will show this to us all
I know it's to promote the fight but it's a bit Ott sometimes. Froch and Bradley are model champions, a class above Mayorga for sure. And I know they haven't however both men train there ass off and deserve their wins. Mayorga trained and proved what he can do. But now he believes he doesn't have to why? What makes him so special? This is why the man has lost so many big fights. He might sell the fight but he's not gona win it. He's a nobody but gains attention to himself by being an idiot

Your assumption that hes not going to train is wrong. He did 9 rounds fairly comfortably a month ago, hes started this camp relatively fit and sharp. We could be about to see the fittest Mayorga has been since the second Forrest fight.
If Margarito can smash Cotto up then Mayorga can. Margarito couldnt stand up to Shanes punches for as long as an inactive Mayorga did, Cottos punches had no efefct on Margarito but Shanes did. Mayorga took big clean flush shots from Mosley without blinking until he tired in the second half. This time though hes had the opportunity to get some rounds in before hand.![]()
Cotto is in a different league to a nobody who had lost 5 of his last 6 bouts, any fighter on the higher level would be comfortable against weaker competition. The Margarito fight was an outstanding fight and there is the whole was margaritos hand illegally wrapped for the cotto fight as well. He got KTFO by Mosley because he had just been caught, his mentality wouldnt have been right and he definatly would have lost his focus hence such a one sided beating. At the end of the day Mayorga might have taken a beating and walked through Mosleys punches but he still lost the fight so what difference does that make if he could take a punch or not? Lets not forget Cotto beat Mosley as well! He was stopped by De La Hoya and trinidad as well. The Forrest fight was nearly 8 years ago, are you telling me hes going to be as good as he was then? Hes been on the slide for a long time and Cotto will be the nail on the coffin. A lot of people think hes lost it, I still think he has more to prove. No shame in losing to Manny in a great fight. and the margarito ,fight fight of the year and potentially controversial still has a question mark IMO over it. Cottos going to win this

He lost 4 out of his last 8All against fighters who have been top of their weight division.
Mayorga has a better chin than Margarito and Margarito ate all cottos punches up.
Im saying that this could well be the best prepared he has gone in to a bout since then, with the recent activity. Whereas Cotto has been out 9 months and hasnt been hit hard since the Pacquiao fight 16 months ago.
