Canelo - Mayorga ??

[El Kabong]

If Mayorga was more active he might actually still be able to "be somebody" from 154-160. He has a good chin, good stamina, decent workrate, good power....damn shame that he just let all that slip away after the Spinks fight...granted he went the route of big money fighting Tito, ODH, Shane, Vargas, Cotto.

Imagine a prime Mayorga vs Margarito, Judah, Angulo, Kirkland, Canelo, JC Jr.....would have been nice to see

Wow, I know a lot of folks like to say "but he's only 21". Yeah, but it's getting ridiculous. Remember them floating the names of Acelino Freitas and even Maidana, for god's sake. Rosado, Lara, Molina, even Baysangurov are all better and more legitimate than many of the men they've considered thus far. GBP doesn't have to reach into lower divisions or retirement communities for Saul's opponents.

Stupid fight for Saul. If he wins, he beat up an old guy. If he loses, he lost to an old guy. It's not a fight I'd pay to see. It just does not interest
me.

Not many people had a problem with him fighting Mosley whos 2 years older than Mayorga!

He also fought tentatively against Mosley like he was scared to get caught. I for one would love to see a fit prepared Mayorga swinging at him for a few rounds at least

You mean the Mosley who dominated and KO'd Mayorga when they fought (in one of the three fights Mayorga has been in in the last 4 years)? Mosley is at least a likely HOFer and was coming off of back-to-back fights (albeit pathetic "efforts") against the top 2 p4p guys in the world; Mayorga wasn't close to great even at his prime and is coming off of losses to Mosley and Cotto and a win over world-beater "Michael Walker." And he's even worse-preserved than Mosley.

Cotto, Lara, and Kirkland, in that order, are the fights they should try to make (they should try harder with Kirkland if the alternative is really a sideshow act like a shot Mayorga).

I seriously doubt there's any truth to this rumor.

The same Mosley that got battered by Forrest?

At that point, Mayorga would have walked through him. Mosley has admitted being a filthy little cheat to maintain where he was and probably used them to get there. He did jump a weight division and stay ripped.

I don't respect Canelos choice of opposition he wants to fight a brawler when he's a good boxer. boooooo
