Its a generalisation of all fighters. Once a fighter has made himself wealthy enough to not have work again and has tried but failed against the best, they realise deep down they have tried and failed and now at this point its all about making the most money you can.
Look at Hatton, he lost 2 fights to 2 better fighters and realised he had money and that he wasnt going any further career wise so has retired rather than fight on against some lower level belt holder. Arum is milking Cotto at this point.
Cotto will be thinking "Mayorga will put up a bit of a fight for a few rounds and then il start taking over" but I guarantee you hes putting at the back of his mind the strength of the shots that will be hitting him from all angles and the fact that the past 8 months Mayorga has been more active than him. He wont be thinking of the uppercut that nearly ripped Oscars head off, or the fact Mayorga had Shane more worried about his power than Cottos or Margaritos and how Mayorga took better shots to the chin for longer than Margarito could. Cotto is at the point of his career that he is relying on Arum and Steward to tell him what to do, rather than knowing, he is now just doing a job, I dont think he loves boxing at this point. Whereas Mayorga still believes at this point that he has the power to hurt any one, especially 2 smaller fighters like Cotto and Pacquiao. He would be the hardest puncher either has faced. A fighter like Mayorga will always be dangerous because he knows hes strong, hits hard and has a good chin.
Yeah he might be but he has flaws which top ranked fighters can exploit. Yeh cotto has lost two fights but so had de la Hoya, trinidad and Mosley still had losses and they still handled Mayorga. They knew he ws dangerous but his performances against these fighters was poor! He got stopped in all three! He might bring strong aspects to the ring but what does it matter if you don't use them? He lost all three fights and he's going to lose again against cotto! There was no shame for cotton losing to manny and cotto in the back of his head will have the belief margarito could have packed his gloves. I still have belief cotto has more to offer the sport if his injury doesn't effect his performance because I feel he's an outstanding fighter who can beat Mayorga whos not done anything for years!
Oscar, Tito and Shane had never taken the 2 beatings that Cottos has. When he starts having to take big shots again he will cave in.
Mayorga lost those fights because of lack of preparation, he was inactive for long periods before hand and still had to be litterally nailed down before he would stop fighting. Cotto doesnt have the fire power or mental fortitude to weather any storm and come back at this point and against someone so much stronger than him. My opinion is that Cotto will be like Tyson against Holyfield, or Williams. Hes there for the money and doesnt have the strong will to win any more for anyone that can take his shots and fire back.
Also, iv read a few times now that Steward wants Cotto jabbing and moving. I just feel that is playing in to Mayorgas hands even more. Cotto needs to be in his face up close, to take away the space Mayorga likes to swing. Not backing up and encouraging Mayorga to get in to a rythm.

Pacs a lot better than Mayorga though , Mayorga won't be capable of a performance that manny was able to deliver! Margarito imo had loaded gloves and his face was in a real bad way after the fight. Margarito hasn't demonstrated power since then it's a tough call. I personally think margarito would beat Mayorga as well! Mayorga is well past it and he wont be able to rally a strong performance against cotto
Well, of their common opponents you have to say that Mayorgas performance was far better against Shane and Margarito was a hell of a lot more active before hand than Ricardo. Margarito isnt a puncher, what stopped Cotto was Margaritos strength, he could take everything Cotto had and keep coming forward punching.
They may well have had loaded gloves or been a superior boxer to Mayorga but regardless, the damage is done. Hes taken those 2 beatings and has had a few hard fights besides those as well. Cotto is going to find it very difficult to enjoy being in the boxing ring when he is again in with someone who can absorb his shots and throw the hardest hes ever felt.
Im not saying Cotto is physically unable to compete at a high level any more, just that anyone strong who can take what Cotto dishes out and give it right back is going to beat him.
You obviously have a very simple mind. Mayorga put up a good showing as did Cotto, but both lost in the eyes of many. But you want to argue in such simplistic terms. Fair enough.
Once again I hear the sound of a Cotto fan muttering expletives and getting defensive. Sad really.
i'm sorry i didn't read into the "logic" of a guy who had 18 fights, and who hasn't seen a single Cotto fight yet now is the self deemed expert on his career
as for Miles, no one got more touchy on her than you when Khan ended up with a W over Barrera, or when people discredited Hatton for getting thrashed by Pacquiao, so don't even go there
I've tried to stay out of this thread really, but as I am interested in this fight I obviously have to keep reading. It's just funny how everyone hates Mayorga for being crap and rude and yet everyone else is so upset by him and they turn to being rude too. Just reeks of double standards and yet Cotto gets a pass for being crap in his two biggest fights and yet "he has a lot left". Fair enough.
It could all go horribly wrong for Cotto. I mean the wheels could really come off in this fight. I think Mayorga is gonna get inside Cotto's head.
Expect tears people. You heard it here 1st.
No way, your not stealing my thunder!! Iv been saying it for weeks!
El terrible, maybe you should take up boxing. So you can understand how fighters feel. Vent some frustration on a sparring partner. You could even pretend they are me and say (in your head so no one thinks your stupid) "Ill teach you! Silly Ross! This is how Cotto will beat Mayorga!" and then when you get back up, youll feel much better![]()
We are just going round in circles! You clearly think mayorgas going to win I think cotto will. You've given your views, I've given mine. Let the best man win!
