I see Mayorga bullying Cotto around and blasting him in the corner and ropes all night. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he even stops Cotto.
Cotto stoping Mayorga would be more of a surprise....much less Cotto winning.
But that still shouldn't validate even a thought of Mayorga/ Pacquiao happening....
Taking small bets....:beerchug:

Maybe not the only, but one of the few.
I'm in for a small bet. Let me know how much.
prime Mayorga would have beaten Cotto imo. that was 7 or 8 years ago though.
did you see Mayorga's last fight? he looked really bad, and I think his punch resistance has gone down the drain. terrible signs for a wild offensive fighter with little defense.
The Michael Walker fight? That was pure comedy :lol1:
I doubt he trained hard for it though.
Mayorga will take shots from Cotto. But Cotto will be landing often and inevitably Mayorga will get stopped. He's also susceptible to that left hook both to the body and head (2 of Cotto's main weapons) along with Cotto's jab that's going to frustrate Mayorga into swinging.
It's Boxing and anything can happen, but I don't see this going any other way but by KO or stoppage by Cotto.

Cotto is gonna win, I don't think he will be impressive though, but he's a much better fighter than Mayo is, even though I think he's half way shot at this point (Cotto).
SD or MD? :boxing:
cotto has the edge in every single department
stamina
jab
power
speed
mayorga's finished
power...I don't think so.
And what makes you say Mayorga is finished? People were saying that Cotto was finished after Pacquiao....now after him KOing a feather fisted, one legged rabbi/ fighter...he's back?
Cotto supposedly had the majority of advantages against Manny (not trying to compare the 2) power, jab, boxing ability...but we all see how that went.
Point being you can't discount a fighter based on "advantages/disadvantages" especially when "hunger" and "heart" come into play...which Cotto in my humble opinion has lacked since the Margarito beatdown.

Definitely think that Mayorga has the advantage on power. Cotto's power isn't what it was = truth.
