If Mayorga upsets Cotto, I could see Mayorga getting a shot at Pacquiao in the very near future... and getting steamrolled in a fight very much resembling DLH-Mayorga with Pacquiao being even more dominant.

QUOTE (SmartyBeardo @ Jan 22 2011, 07:53 PM)  It is a no-win sitch. Who would you rather see v Pac of the two? I'm pulling for the salamander I mean Nicaraguan. Neither really. Pacquiao blows both out inside the first half of the fight. At least with Mayorga we'd see him blowing out someone different I suppose, but I wouldn't get excited to see either. |

Man, i am really surprised so many are giving mayorga a chance when he has been irrelevant for so long. Sure he is bigger and has a punchers chance. But its about the same chance margarito had vs pac. Mayo is getting his ass kicked

QUOTE (JLUVBABY @ Jan 22 2011, 03:23 PM) im with you on this one stev... as long as cotto is the champ he is a looming possibility for the arum/pac milk train... plus that guy is shot... emanuel steward in his corner or not them margarito fight sapped that dude and pac finished him... ive been preaching this since the foreman fight... a puncher who can fight him back probably knocks him out.... the question will be how much does mayorga have left... if he's got some dog left in him i think he stands a very good chance in this fight.. cotto is shot. Cotto is shot...? What does that make mayorga...? |

Despite Mayorga being farther past his prime than Cotto, I think most giving him a chance in this fight point to his toughness. Everyone knows that Mayorga can absorb at least 5-6 rounds of Cotto's bombs, but can Cotto absorb 5-6 rounds of what Mayorga has? Several years ago I don't think there would be a question about Cotto being able to take it, but now there is after several brutal losses and tough fights. His resiliency simply has to be questioned at this point. |

QUOTE (SmartyBeardo @ Jan 22 2011, 08:31 PM) I completely agree with you but given a (shitty) choice of the two I take Mayorga. I suppose I would as well. Mayorga would at least give as good as he gets for a few rounds until he submits, where Cotto I think would be on his bike for the most part. |

I don't think anyone is questioning which boxer has the better resume, the superior skills etc, it's simply coming down to whether Cotto can take a shot anymore. If he can't I seriously give Mayo a chance in this one. |
