The guy you are responding to is the one who created the thread. He's upset because people weren't commenting.
Both were very strong for the division in their primes. My thinking is: Ike COULD win a close, but clear decision if he boxed more and traded less. He had his own thudding power, but I don't think he'd be that mentally strong enough to resist and ends up going toe to toe with the berserker Mayorga. Mayorga as crude and awkward he was was undoubtingly the biggest puncher for a short period in the division at the time. He did what even a prime Mosley couldn't and Mosley was pretty powerful. This would be a DRAW IMO. Similar to Lopez-Quartey. I think one punch power Lopez and Mayorga were the hardest punchers. Not to mention they had iron chins too.
Those picking Mayo are newbies or d!ck riders, Mayo is one overrated son of a gun, hell I pick Jose Luis Lopez to beat the hell out of him, the Quartey that fought DLH beats any version of Mayorga.
Let me guess, your one of those "......." Who think Mayorga makes it competitive against Tito and DLH at 147, right??
Absoluely. There is a strong case for Ike to have got the decision over Oscar. It was by no means a robbery but judge Morita was way off with his 116 - 112 in DLH's favour. Numerous times in the fight IKE hurt Oscar, Myorga never got close to troubling the Golden Boy. I see a similar outcome, Quartey KO ing Myorga midway through. Even though the 2 fights were at different weights.
I agree , Quartey would beat him . But he wont TKO/KO Mayorga , he wont even come close . Mayorga chin/endurance was INCREDIBLE .
Oscar didn't even meet a prime Quartey. Prime version would pound on Mayorga for 12 one-sided rounds.
