    Hasn't won by KO since his coming out party against Vernon Forrest.

    Overrated power?

    He hasn't carried the same power since he has moved up in weight. He clubs too, which means his punches don't carry much snap to them.

    I have never once been impressed by Mayorga.Not even when he beat Forrest.IMO he lacks skill in a huge way,actually IMO he sucks,he's reminds me of Carlos Massau or what ever that ham and egger's name is,I'd put them in the same group as far as skills are concerned.Funny how boxing works.Forrest is twice the boxer Mayorga could ever be,and yet he lost twice to him.

    mayorga is a perfect example of how far a pair of ironclad balls and bravado can take you in this sport. he probably has accoplished as much as a guy like zab, who has ten times more talent.
