Mayorga Vs. Cotto for March??

[:::PSL:::]

Does Mayorga still smoke 60 cancer sticks a day?

Feel free to see it that way but Cotto dominated Shane Mosley and unlike Mayorga he was able to last the distance. Ricardo won't even make weight and even if he does he's going to eat too many shots to last with Cotto.

As long as Mayorga doesn't load his gloves Cotto will take him. Its not like Ricardo has the handspeed of Pacquiao either.

Mayorga-Margarito should be made as they are both done as top tier fighters

The difference in their respective Mosley fights are that Ricardo forced the fight but was just not fit, hed been out a year and he wouldnt have been living like a monk inbetween

Ridiculous statement.
Cotto can only be taken out by plaster

Utter bollocks. Cotto/Mosley was quite a close fight in the end. Cotto spent the final rounds on the run. Again, this symbolises that Cotto has stamina issues and that a stronger fighter gets to him. Mosley fought the wrong fight early in that fight and should have been trying to rough Cotto up.

Wait...WHAT ?!

Lyle, you and I both know that Cotto won a razor-thin decision against Mosley that could have gone either way.

Cotto is no doubt the superior boxer to Mayorga but Cotto has holes in his defense and has been on the receiving end of two brutal beatings recently.

Its anyones fight.

What?!? He dominated? He won by 1 round. I thought Shane should have got a draw, and you say dominated....lol.

[Spicoli]

Not sure this is a needed or a smart fight for a warrior like Cotto who has taken alot of damage and might....might have one or two biggies left in him. They aint all pitching nerf balls like Foreman and Ricardo is a nasty,huge physical free swinger...with shoulders and fists. Mayorga is a re-establish type guy frankly and Cotto should bide his limited time for bigger name last hoorah clashes.

[El Kabong]

Cintron has a good style to fight Cotto is all I'm saying.

[Master]

Cotto beat Mayorga easily and this will be a good fight.

[Kampioni]

I can see Cotto taking Mayorga down with a devastating body shot. I like this matchup, it'll be interesting to see how Cotto deals with Mayorga's trash talk

[deminmartin9]

I can't wait for Mayorga's diarrhea mouth pre-fight hype.

We need to stop promoting a Mayorga fight. Or even giving it any consideration. Cotto has much better option to fight instead of Mayorga

1. Martinez
2. Berto
3. Vanes
4. Cintron
5. Augulo
6. Kirkland
7. Williams
8. Dzinziruk
9. Jcc Jr
10.Wolak

to name a few

This all comes down to risk/reward. A Mayorga fight will sell just because of his mouth. Remember that this is considered a tune up for a Margarito rematch in June, so that would rule out half of the names on your list. Of the less risky names presented, this is the fight that will make the most money. I certainly wouldn't consider Wolak a more viable option. I'd have zero interest in that fight. He isn't a name, and he isn't going to trouble Cotto.

I understand he risk/reward factor, but Mayorga mouth is not going to bring more fans or PPV buys(if it's PPV). The fans is going to come to see Cotto fight. Win or lose. Tune up or a real fight. Just like people came to see Pacman fight Clottey. A "boxing" fan wanted to see what the bigger Clottey was going to do. But the majority was Pacnuts. Not Clottey fans. We all know Mayorga is more talk then substance. We as boxing fans like to see fights. Not Mayorga fans. So the latest with fighters fighting because of the name factor, is bull. And hopefully it will backfire on these safe fighter that want a bigger cash reward then a bigger legacy reward by taking a risk.
