    lol...

    in all seriousness... i love cotto, but i think people are making too easy and simple this fight, and i have no problem with that... cotto has earned his right to be on fire right now, but it really would be a great fight... and very close eather way.

    I just think mayorga is a bad bad matchup for cotto...

    people claim the drained excuse against torres... ok fine, but at the same time... mayorga is bigger, stronger, more powerful, has better stamina and is much more aggresive then torres.

    but this is natural... guys get overated and underated based off where they are... and i accept that... but im just trying to inject some other arguments in here lol.

    The Torres fight is a great thing to point out but nobody mentions how Torres took the fight on short notice!! Like Ive said before, Cotto would probably go down and would need to have a strong body attack going to slow Mayorga down. Mayorga could def hurt Cotto and put him down and end the fight.

    Cotto definitely wouldn't KO Mayorga but I think he would win a UD. Nobody thought it was possible to KO Mayorga until he fought Tito and I guarantee you Tito hits harder than Cotto.

    The only way Cotto stops Mayorga is a great body attack.


    Which would probably be two nut shots after getting tagged.

    Agreed. I thought Mayorga was on coke when he let Forrest hit him with that 8 punch combo and shook his head.

    exactly... and that was at 160lbs... with tito connecting on what... 60% of his powerpunches or something crazy like that... also, mayorga didnt have a full training camp due to his whole criminal charges...

    but that is neather here nor there...

    everyone is bringing up good points...

    Well Spinks can't punch for ****. He can't make Mayorga respect him so Mayorga just walked through his punches and threw the kitchen sink at him. Cotto can make Mayorga respect him. No matter what you say about Mayorga's chin, his body is not made of iron. And Cotto punishes the body like no one in this division, which should definitely afect Mayorga's stamina and power throughout the fight.
