shock....mayorga is in shape

[CFH]

I love how half this forum were picking Yuri Foreman to beat Cotto yet Mayorga, oh no, he has no chance !

Very intelligent boxing fans...

This is a good competitive fight. Cotto should be favored 60-40, but no more than that.

Mayorga has got the power, the size, and the unorthodox style to beat Cotto.

For what it's worth, I picked Cotto to shit-hammer Foreman. There is one similarity between these two fights though - the outcome is predicated upon how much Cotto has left.

I think Mayorga will be able to land a couple of those wild, looping punches of his before Cotto adapts to his style, the question - in my mind - is will Cotto be able to withstand them while breaking Mayorga down.

A near-prime Cotto would just fucking mangle Mayorga though IMO.

A prime Cotto? Which one is that? The one that got wobbled and stunned at light welter or the one that got beat up and quit at welter? Or maybe this one. The one that wan a title when his opponents leg gave way?

Mayorga on the other hand. He beat the pound for pound best fighter in the world, absolutely walked through him. The same fighter he beat was the only man to have Shane on the verge of being stopped! Mayorga can actually say he has beaten a top pound for pound fighter and has been the best in his weight division. Cotto can't say the same about himself and if they did fight in their respective primes it would be Mayorga who would splatter Cotto. In fact the 38 year old version is still going to do it and then you'd see what he would have done in his prime

Was Vernon Forrest really considered the P4P #1 when Mayorga beat him? Honest question.
