Personally i love the guy i mean here's a guy who made it to the top of the WW division with VERY little skill. All he had was a great chin a good punch and a pair of balls. also love his trash talk he's always entertaining in and out of the ring even his press conferences were fun to watch. i think boxing needs more fighters like him (preferably with more skills) A true warrior heart of a lion. He's probably done fighting just wanted to see what you guys thought of him
I agree with your whole opening thread. Also, I think people are not giving him enough credit in his last fight by using Mosley being past prime as an excuse. Truth is Mayorga can do a lot of damage and is very good at what he does.
He's been real entertaining over the years and a real success story as well... multiple titleholder, including an undisputed championship, and made lots of money in the process. He'll never be remembered as anything great but I would say that's a prety good career for a guy with limited skills wouldn't you?
What he did not have in technical skill he made up by being completely unorthodox, throwing bombs from angles other technical fighters could not predict. Even in his last fight Mosley said that he just could not figure Mayorga out. Mayorga was fierce with that kamakazi style.
For what he has accomplished he talks to much ****:-( a 1 hit wonder, who i loved to see get KTFO... Oscar ko-6 Mosley-ko-12. Tito ko 8- I did want to see him beat Vargas only because i hate Vargas even more..
Well he also KOed Andrew "Six Heads" Lewis who ws a world class titleholder at the time. His biggest error was moving out of the welterweight division where he was so strong and powerful. I mean a prime 147 pound Mayorga could have given any current top welter a run for their money.
prime mayorga would give all of todays top WW fits i can even see him beating Cotto due to Cotto's shaky chin. Can you picture prime Mayorga vs Margo what a fight that woulda been
