"Both are past their prime(Cotto-Mayorga) " - Mike Tyson

Really? cause Tyson said they were basically trying to get a paycheck without hurting each other... but they were throwing bombs in there.

 

I agree with Mike . . . both are past their primes . . . especially Mayo . . . but still they brought lively action and excitement . . . so I still appreciated it.

 

gotta agree with Tyson. this doesn't mean that Cotto is finished. ****, i believe Cotto is capable of beating many if not most of the top boxers today. prime Cotto destroys today's Mayorga though, inside 8 rounds tops

 

And yet in the exact same interview said :

“both Cotto and Mayorga are past their prime tying to earn a paycheck and not trying to get hurt”.

Really? It looked like they were trying to ktfo of each other from where I was sitting.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Cotto isn't shot, but is clearly past both his peak and prime.

 

I find this hard to judge.

IMO take whatever you consider prime Cotto and put him in the ring with Mayorga and IMO you still get the same outcome, late stoppage. I don't see him doing more or receiving less damage either.

I can concede he's slightly past prime but those saying he's shot are fools.

 

I take what mike says with a grain of salt! He contradicts himself alot..

 

The only one shot in there was mayorga IMO.

 

LOL at the people in this thread stating "prime Cotto destroys today's version of Mayorga inside 8 rounds."

Lets turn that around....what would a prime Mayorga the one that fought and beat Vernon Forrest twice at 147 lbs do against today's version of Cotto??????


I'd say Mayorga KTFO Cotto inside 8 rounds!

 

:good


Mayorga is shot and cotto is on the slide.

 

It’s hard to impress Mike Tyson

 

Agreed with both of them being past their primes. Cotto's still a formidable fighter though, and Mayorga looked better than expected.

I don't know what Tyson was saying though about them not trying to hurt each other.

Tyson also sounded like he was intoxicated.
