As sloppy as he looks Mayorga proved he can remain competitive even when he's clearly overmatched.
I personally think Mayorga should clean out JR Middleweight. The division is dead, him and Forrest are the biggest stars and he deserves to add another championship and test guys like Phillips and Santos.
He SHOULDNT fight above his weight nor below, that includes a Tito rematch at 170 which would be completely pointless, any fight at 147 or above 154.
To be hated on so much the man has fought nothin but top tier competition so he should beat down some 154 contenders and become 154 champ hell maybe even unify the division

Forrest-Mayorga III. Showtime will buy it, the WBC will sanction it, and Forrest has to feel confident he can win the third match. And it's probably the most money Mayo can get right now, so why wouldn't he take it? And he's maybe the top profile guy that Vernon can schedule at 154 unless a welterweight comes up in weight...
Or a Spinks rematch could be even more money for Ricardo, especially if it landed in St. Louis...
if Zab Judah's fought before on Friday Night Fights, why not Mayorga?
or they could throw Mayorga at Sergio Mora .. with the winner taking on Forrest.
**made that up all on my own, lol. Mora got whooped on by Forrest and doesn't really deserve rematch (what did Sergio say at the post fight press conference?)
and well Mayorga's history with Forrest is well documented.
so why not have Mayorga vs Mora? (once Mayo gets that 30th w of course.)
LOL that telecast would have superbowl like ratings with Mayorgas presence on it
Yeah it would. But it would never happen like that, they should just take the bum and let Mayorga fight him. You know it would get picked up, probably on Showtime.
He has earned to fight a complete bum on the undercard of ESPN2 Wed. night fights.

Darkstar look at this resume:
Andrew Lewis (in his prime)
Vernon Forrest (In his prime) twice
Cory Spinks(in his prime)
Michelle Piccarilo(former champ who beat prime spinks)
Oscar De La Hoya(not prime but formidable)
Tito Trinidad(formidable)
Fernando Vargas(shot but still bigger and stronger and more skilled)
Sugar Shane Mosley(After a razor thin loss to Cotto)
The man deserves a break in top competition and has the right to beat up contenders and lower tier champs before another big fight against Forrest perhaps???

Agreed, Mayorga has earned that journeyman/impressive KO/comeback victory.

They could do it at Super Welter or Middleweight. It would work out good for the both of them.
The lower the weight the better for Carlos. He is at his best at Welter. To be honest, I think Mayorga is better off there aswell.
Same here, Carlos did say he regained his focus and is back to his 06 mindstate so if he's for real i'd love to see another run
I agree with this.
But about Baldomir, that would be a good fight. Loser retires. At this stage of the game, I think Ricardo beats Carlos.

People are jumping all over the idea, Mosley is old and past his prime. Mayorga is old and past his prime too, and has took some real beatings. The fight if you think about it, was on even terms. The fans would cry about it but I want to see it.
Both guys are past it, but even a past it Matador and a past it Mosley are still better than most at 154. I just hope Mayorga dosn't make us wait another 10 months before his next fight! I'd like to see him get that 30th win in Nov or Dec of this year.
Honestly I wouldnt even want to see it, all the hate from fans would drive me crazy.
Mayorga looked good in defeat, Mosley looked bad in victory, now let Mayorga become a 4 time champ so the journalists cud get mad and let Mosley test what he has left at 147
