    Mayorga would get KO'd regardless. Mayorga is tailor made for Cotto, He is too wild and sloppy for a systematic puncher like Cotto.

    A prime Mayorga had the chin to take Forrest's best bombs though, I could very well see Cotto getting tagged hard, stunned badly and then not attacking as much and getting picked apart and stopped at range.

    Very true. Mayorga is weak to the body. But Mayorga is so wild. I def could see Cotto being dropped. I think Cotto would outwar Mayorga in the end though with the body work as you said.

    This is just silly, Cotto can't hurt Ricardo, Ricardo would crush him early walking through shots and landing bombs, Cotto wouldn't make it to round 4

    You are comparing the effective and very technical presure of Cotto though to the wild, no defense off balance pressure of Mayorga. Cotto wouldn't need to take shots like Mayorga did to get inside, he would use his timing and keep his guard high on the way in. I agree it would be a dangerous fight for the chin of Cotto, but I really think that Forrest is at his best when backing fighters up and not vice versa.

    One Of The Better Match Ups I Heard Both Tuff But I Think Cotto Better Boxing Skills Give Him The Edge Over Mayorga.
    Mayorga Surcomes To The Body Punishment 10th Or So.

    good fight with question marks...Cotto has better technical skills, whilst Mayo
    has the equalizer and a great chin

    interesting match

    Cotto would give Mayorga an unreal beatdown, for as long as Ricardo was able to stay in there with him. I can't believe some of you think this would be a "great" matchup.

    I think the likely outcome is that Cotto would win every second of every round, on his way to a stoppage victory around the 7th.

    Mayorga has zero chance in this fight. First of all, Mayorga cannot make 147. He has already failed to make weighs above this weight, so he cannot fight at 147 anymore.

    Secondly, as easy as he is to get hit, he would be down in 4 rounds.
