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![]()
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
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 ?"
Exactly, how gullible, naive and dopey must people be to believe that Mayorga lives and breaths his personna he puts on at press conferencesReminds me of the Simpsons "will somebody please think of the children!"
Its to sell fights and earn future big fights because promoters know hes going to do half the work for them. Fighters like Bradley and Froch wont get the opportunities they maybe deserve more because they just will not sell themselves enough. They are relatively unknown. The best paid boxers are the ones the media loves.
Regarding Bradley and Froch, I doubt they ever beat anyone as high in the pound for pound rankings that Forrest was![]()
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
