Cotto vs Mayorga is the best choice for Cotto!!!

Those are just as bad. Also, you're comparing the Margarito fight to this one is laughable. Margarito has been out for over a year and came back after a suspension. If Cotto were in the same shoes, I would understand but he has been active. Suspension or Shoulder surgery. Which one is more reasonable??

margarito is a bum who relied on his plaster, ephedra/energy pills to win fights, the reason for his "inactivity" is due to being found guilty in court therefore he was banned for 2 years...so quit your stupidity! ouch!!!!! Hahahahahaha

This is a perfect tune up fight for him. At least he is fighting unlike Floyd Mayweather!!!!!!!

Margarito was almost 2 years inactive, Cotto hasn't. Also, Margs came off a one sided beating and Cotto is coming off a belt for the grabs vs a one legged boxer. So quit your stupidity. Margarito is a bum who relied on his plaster, ephedra/energy pills to win fights, the reason for his "inactivity" is due to being found guilty in court therefore he was banned for 2 years...so quit YOUR stupidity!

:rofl: Cotto stans trying hard to make this a legit fight. It never was and never will. LOL at the Plasterito fan girls trolling cause they don't have **** to talk about.

Stay busy fight for Cotto that should be fan friendly. Nobody should argue that Mayorga deserves a shot at the title but it is what it is and with Cotto's resume he deserves fights like this in between the hard challenges he always takes.

This for me is not one bit justifiable as a contest

fuckin kneetards are back glorifying a bullcrap fight. :lol1: Better than Margarito fighting Garcia or Berto fighting Ortiz, Maidana fight Morales, Alvarez fighting Hatton

I agree. Cotto has proven alot already. Why does he have to keep proving? ...even Max Kellerman said this. I agree that Mayorga is a great preparation for Cotto, only I believe Mayorga hits harder than Tony. Even if Mayorga is getting older, they say the last thing to leave you is your power, so Cotto better be careful. fuckin kneetards are back glorifying a bullcrap fight. :lol1:

This fight will show me what Cotto will bring to the table when he faces Antonio Margerito!!!!!!!

You absolutely cannot count Mayorga out of this guys... Man has an IRON chin (well not so much after Tito) but can take a hell of a punch, Mayorga is still a contender and can give a hell of a fight to anyone IMO... I think it'll be Cotto UD...

They could call me a hater all they want. I have the right to my opinion. Like I said, you people wanna talk shit about other boxers but when it's done back to you all, you all want to assume the world is hating on you and your boxers. Typical!! It's a bull**** fight. If it was Margarito vs Mayorga at this point it would be bullshit too. FACT: Even when my favorite boxers pull some bullshit I call them out for it. I don't hide and try to defend it. Example: When DLH fought Pac. History of boxing shows that every elite, ATG or G.O.A.T fights takes keep busy fights!!!!!!!! So when you speak of one you speak of all!!!!!!

I would rather see him fight Chavez i mean lets get serious here ,Is he going to fight Vargas next? I am a fan of Cotto and will watch the fight but Chavez would have been a better tune up fight for me Chavez is the one tht is scared to fight Cotto! He can't make the weight!!!!!

Not the best fight for Cotto out there.. But man this is decent enough for me. :boxing:

Reason being, it's a tune up fight to not only keep him busy but also prepare him for Margarito!!! Mayorga is easy to hit with a good chin and also punches is angles while aplying pressure!! The smack talk will only make this fight that much more interesting!!! Got to love this smart choice of opponent!!!! its a good fight to get exposure and to look good against. everyone who is on the top level has used mayorga to catapult themselves back into the publics attention. there are a lot worse fights out there, that are a lot harder with smaller paydays, so this is a decent fight, for now. one thing i give cotto is he's always taken on tough dudes and even though mayorga is a lower level of fighter, he's a tough cookie and makes fan friendly fights. there is risk though, but i think cotto's pedigree is far superior to mayorga's so he should get a good looking and attractive win.

Cotto does deserve this 2nd tune up...he's been in tough fights lately.

Again, an example of someone who doesn't have a clue. Arum reserved the MGM for that date for Cotto's return. Arum offered HBO Cotto-Vanes...a perfectly acceptable fight for 1.5 million.... a VERY reasonable price. HBO turned it down. That made Arum faced with not televising the fight at all or risking his own money to put it on PPV. Thankfully, he went with option 2. And Mayorga is the choice because he will bring more buys and when you're risking your own money that means more than if it were an HBO fight. Do you people think Arum wants to make these PPV's? He risks his own money doing it. If HBO would buy all the Humberto Soto and Donaire fights, Arum would love to not risk his own money. He does this because, until recently, HBO hardly ever bought fights in the lower divisions and the only way they would get exposure would be the Latin Fury's and other Top Rank PPVs. We as fans should be thankful that we have option of seeing them instead of complaining. Arum does a lot of **** to hurt the sport....but this is an example of him actually doing something positive for the sport. I agree 100%!

:rofl: You people justifying this other pathetic fight in boxing. who's better Mayorga or that roberto garcia guy Tony fought? You know Cotto had the shoulder surgery been off a while its ok to take an easy tuneup once in a while, thats boxing. My problem with this fight is the fact that I dont believe Mayorga can make 154 without the use of diuretics. Last time at 154 was against Shane and looked not so good. He gassed hard and Shane didnt even push him. Against Oscar he had to use some illegal laxative to sh it himself down to 154. this should be entertaining while it lasts.

should be on HBO not PPV. Damn Arum's greedy ass... old man probably has enough money to live 20times, yet he wants to **** us out of our money. Again, an example of someone who doesn't have a clue.
