HAHAHAHAHA, at the very end Mayorga says "the true warrior was felix tito trinidad, everyone respected him, myself included... But Cotto? No one respects him!! The only people that respect Miguel Cotto are his kids, other than them no one else!" LOL, CLASSIC
I love Mayorga. He takes trash talk to another level. Anytime you can shut your translator down into shame doing their job? That is TRASH!
I think mayorga IS very good at his best, and at his peak, at 147.... You dont have a close fight with spinks, two wins over forrest, an epic battle with mosley and tito and be a two weight champion if your NOT very good. Hes just very crude and lacks discipline above 147 so he was less then his best in many fights. But thats his own fault. Now, with that said ... prime for Prime against Cottoe Mayorga doesnt stop and as Cottoe gets on his bicycle and begins to slow down Mayorga bombs him out after breaking him down around the 5th or so.
Maybe, maybe not. Cotto doesn't respond well to pressure fighters. Mayorga has the iron chin to take Cotto's shots. I think Mayorga could walk him down and stop Cotto late.
Cotto ko 7...hits him with a body shop and drops him..thats that...rest is blah blah blah..these days he not the same...especially at 54 as he has to starve for 36-48 hours to hit the weight
Spinks sqeaked by with an MD against Mayorga, when Mayorga was penalised 2 points in the fight, not credited for a knockdown, and who the ref allowed to dip below his waist constantly and fall to the floor in any sign of trouble. Also, when a prime Spinks has a problem outboxing you, and Vernon Forrest cant do it, it takes more then just skills to beat Mayorga. You need to have good pocket presence in order to be able to 'stand up to the bully' so to speak, in the center of the ring. A skill based boxer without the fortitude to take a lot of what Mayorga gives, and the strength and power to make him pay, will be troubled every time.
Until the cigarettes kick in... then you can hit him whenever you feel like it. Tell Mayorga I want to fight him for a carton of Marlboros.
he also states that cotto has never faced opponents he's faced but he so stupid that he don't realize that cotto beat mosley who beat him
Yeah and the guy that really dominated Shane in his prime was KTFO and beat both times by Mayorga like he was some kind of scared chump, and Cotto beat Mosley in a fight that could have gone the other way. Styles makes fight :bbb Prime vs Prime, Mayorga is just too much for Cotto Mayorga in his prime was a true and huge 147 vs Cotto who was at that time a really natural 140 lbs If Ricardo Torress can hurt and wing wild punches on Cotto and hurt his ass, imagine what a confident/strongchin/ultimate attack power puncher in Mayorga will do to Cotto Prime for Prime, Mayorga walks down Cotto and stops him late
yeah mayorga is just acting pathetically. he knows he would get demolished yet assumes his 8th grade shenanigans will get him a big fight.
I think it'd be an interesting fight nonetheless. Mayorga would be great in testing Miguel's coolness. I'm not sure if Cotto is really ready for the real 154lber monsters like Angulo, Kirkland, and Dzinziruk so why not a fight vs Mayorga? El Matador supposedly isn't that dangerous anymore as many here are stating, but he is a name either way you look at it. I still think it's a dangerous fight for Cotto and would steer away from this one. Cotto did state he is looking for the big fights for his last fights. I'm sure Mayorga might be looking for the same in the twilight of his career. I'd rather watch Cotto-Margarito or one that should of happened years ago was Mayorga-Margarito.
