Rumor: Mayorga vs. Canelo in the works. Predictions?

Saul by KO3

 

Mayorga has a puncher's chance and nothing more. Canelo would stop him.

 

Say what you want about Mayorga but he's been in with some of the best and hardest hitting guys of the weight class. Canelo is nowhere near any of the top guys Mayorga has faced. It is not a question of Mayorga respecting Canelo's punches. It is can Canelo take Mayorga's shot.

 

The more you guys talk about this fight, the more I want to see it happen. Huge test for Canelo.

 

Mayorga doesn't know what defense is, although he seemed to "box" in stretches against Cotto. He would leave himself open and a talented, young fighter like Canelo would take him out IMO. Mayorga is 38. He ain't no spring chicken. There is a reason why he said he will retire. He knows he's lost a lot. A guy like Canelo is the type of guy who can take him out.

 

And let's be clear here, Mayorga quit against Cotto. There was no wrist injury as replays clearly showed there was no contact to his left wrist. It was his way of trying to disguise his true intention in that Cotto's left hook hurt him. A young lion like Canelo takes him out.

 

mayorga is a cojegolpe now.. will be in there for the payday.. just a name that cant fight and never did.. only guy he beat was forrest and that was forrest fault

:hat

 

good fight , i know alvarez will be the favorite but myorga is a live dog here , upset is very possible

 

I'd rather see Mayorga retire, he's gonna get another beating. But since Alvarez is still not a full-grown LMW - never was - maybe the weight difference will make it more competitive, but I see Canelo countering one of Ricardo's wild swing with the left hook for the count.

Mayorga's problem is Don King who according to the fighter never fully paid him, and when he went to MMA, King interfered and at the and Mayorga had to pay King! atsch Therefore he only got $50 for the Cotto fight and that went to the trainers, managers and team members.
