    I really dont see how anyone can take cotto here... and only reason i think they are is because boxing fans are a bit fickle... and cotto is undefeated and on fire right now where as mayorga is past it...

    The only fighter that even RESEMBLED mayorga was torres... he was CONSTANTLY catching cotto with his wild shots when they were trading punches... and torres aint **** to mayorga.

    Mayorga would come straight at cotto, and would be trading with him and would hurt cotto.... and unlike torres.. would have the ability and stamina to finish him off.

    Bad match up for cotto imo..

    mayorga would have cotto backing up and trying to box intelligantly... like torres had him, but it wouldnt be enough...

    cottos only chance is to back up, pick his spots intelligantly and use his jab.... even then, if he does that, i see mayorga getting the decision...

    If cotto fights mayorga close enough to use his bodyshots to effect... mayorga WILL hurt him.

    Cotto's body shots would humble Mayorga

    Cotto UD. But I'd really hope for Cotto to break Maygora's jaw, can't stand the gimp!

    Unlike the Torres fight, Cotto would not be drained at 147, so the power shots would not hurt Cotto as easily as Torres. Second, you think that Cotto can't outbox Mayorga when he could outbox Shane Mosley? Your post just proves that Mayorga is one of your favorite fighters and that you would LIKE for him to win this way.

    Torres also took that fight on short notice and is smaller then Mayorga and doesn't punch as hard.

    The fight would be a war, I'd see Cotto going down for sure, but if he gets his body attack going. He could slow Mayorga enough.

    Cotto is too smart and skilled for Mayorga.

    yes... mayorga is one of my favorite fighters... and has nothing to do with my post. i could name plenty of guys who would beat prime, 147lb mayorga... and cotto isnt one of them.

    Cotto not being drained against mayorga gets evened out with the fact that mayorga is bigger, and hits harder... then torres. :good

    Dude... mosley is not mayorga... thats like saying... oh forrest could outbox mosley but he cant oubox mayorga (before they fought)

    two COMPLETELY differant types of fighters to try and outbox... mayorga ACTUALLY makes it very difficult to outbox him at 147 (dude... spinks had hell doing it) and cotto trying to do imo loses him rounds.

    And going by your avatar i can assume that cotto is one of your favorite fighters... ;)

    i love cotto.. but he doesnt win this fight IMO. i have obviously been wrong before.. and will be wrong again... but i dont see the logic of picking cotto in this fantasy fight.

    No... i think a prime mosley beats mayorga at 147, i think a prime trinidad probably still beats him, i think prime oscar vs prime mayorga... oscar still wins, let alone hearns, srl, and all other greats...

    this is cotto we are talking about... and i think mayorga is a horrible match up for him...

    i think you guys just overate cotto...

    They think his chin is 10x better since he moved up. But they fail to realize his defense is still average.
