Mayorga came in a surprising great shape to fight Cotto. Cotto never let him get close enough to land anything big including the fact that he came in with a bad fight plan.
If (very 50/50 if) Cotto beats in any way Margarito, I want to see Margarito vs Mayorga. Both have bad defense and come in forward all the time.
Margarito doesn't cover his head at all and always take everything his opponent throws but has a great work rate and chin. Mayorga hit very hard and is willing to trade all the time specially with a guy like Margarito.
I will definitely pay for this because this will definitely will be an action packed fight until it ends. Let's not forget the build up.
What do you think guys? (boxing fans)
Margarito hasn't been able to knock his sister down since getting busted with loaded gloves!!!! Once Mayorga feels Cheato doesn't hit that hard, he'll get motivated and will box to a victory!
Hmm sounds interesting
This fight is actually worth watching but not at a championship level match. I would skip that match with a heartbeat because any belt coming into that fight is not worth discussing about anymore. In short, it will be a joke of a championship match.
Anyway, if it is a 12 rounder title eliminator then I concede it will be good watching. I still think this fight is good if it is a 10 round match instead of 12 rounds. I see Mayorga dominant for 5 rounds and Margo destroying Mayo near the end. Or I can be wrong since it will only be 10 rounds and anything can happen since both of them throw hard punches. Margo's body work of hard punches against Mayo's throwing hail mary's of power punches to the head.
Sounds like a F-ing great night for boxing if you ask me

This is a great fight. Possibly fight of the year, if Mayorga doesn't quit. Unfortunately, I think he would. Back 6 years ago this fight would have been amazing. I would definitely watch it if it was made. I actually believe Margarito wins by TKO around the 6-7 round. Mayorga looked decent against Cotto, but he was fighting in spurts. This means he would have a hard time against Margarito's volume because of his stamina. Margo would take a massive amount of damage though, as Mayorga would land everything he throws. I think Mayorga has more power than Margarito, and while his power punch is not a powerful as Mosley's he throws more punches with authority than the Mosley Mayo fought. (Remember Mosley throws mostly pity pats for most of the fight after the 8th round now)
Margo for the win TKO 6-7 round.
Margarito would KO Mayorga!! Just because Cotto had a hard time beating Mayorga doesnt mean Mayorga can beat Margs now!! GTFOH
It doesn't matter who wins. It could be awesome. for me is a toss up.
Do you think Mosley hits harder than Mayorga?
Sorry, didn't answer your thread. I see Margarito winning by TKO. Mayorga has probably lost the will after that Cotto loss.
It should rejuvenate, it was his best performance in years. He was the best shape I ever remember seeing him in and for being 37, he should be proud of that. He can still compete. Maybe not at the upper level anymore, but he can beat most top 15-30 guys
Margarito by UD or late KO...
I don't think Mayorga hits hard enough to hurt Margarito(it would have to be done with accumulation)...
Mayorga's awkward and what not but I don't think he'll put enough leather on the bigger Marg...who will be in shape
i will never pay for a margarito fight. but of all the potential matchups with him involved this is one id actually be curious to see. the only real positive of a mayorga upset was this potential matchup cause it would def be all action.
My thoughts exactly !!

I think Mayorga should fight 3x a year. The guy bloats up from way too many tequilas and he looked a bit drained at the Cotto weigh in. Being more active should help his physical fitness as well as his bank account.
