mayorga beat forrest but didn't do much else with his career, mayorga had one punch KO power but wasn't hugely skilled i think mayorga back in 2002/2003 would beat everbody maidana fought guys like khan, alexander et al would all loose. maidana would never have beaten prime vernon forrest at 147.
Mayorga was more fierce, but the Maidana that fought Broner was smarter about punch selection and everything else... Just smarter in the ring. Not as one-dimensional as Mayorga.
Madaina 10X<<< Mayorga. Just cuz we hate the Khan's or Mayweathers, or Pacqiouas of today don't mean we got beef up yesterdays stepping stones like their better than todays elites.
Mayorga's trashtalk sends Maidana into some super sayain Argentinian monster who wins by liver destroying KO shot
I love Maidana but prime Mayorga was a very big WW with an iron chin Maidana was hurt by Ortiz.. In a fight between two punchers the one with the better chin wins:deal
Mayorga has the Ws over Spinks and 2x over Forrest. And, if I'm not mistaken, he also has a W over Andrew Lewis. Hard to argue Maidana's resume @ 147 over Mayorga's...
yeah i agree, getting hit flush in the face by guys like trinidad and forrest and not flinching is way different then going down against ortiz.
Mayorga at his best was a beast of a fighter. At 147, when he was training and wasn't fvcking around, he was a threat to anyone. He'd give Broner an even bigger beatdown. Maidana is good, but he's always one level below the best. His power and aggression makes him a dangerous fighter against anyone though.
Mayorga was a bad motherf*cker. I'm not sure who would win that fight, but someone would get knocked the f*ck out that night!
