I know that styles do make fights, but honestly if a fighter lost to a straight bum in his prime i cant pick him to win a fantasy fight with a great fighter who hasn't.
Case in point: someone started a forrest vs mayweather thread at 147. This would seem reasonable but for the fact forrest lost to mayorga twice. C'mon F**king mayorga. No doubt forrest was a good fighter, but F***king mayorga thats crazy. Seriously can anyone on BS create any senerio that would have floyd losing to mayorga not once but F***king twice. Thats insane. I mean anyone can have a bad night, but to think forrest couldnt adjust to mayorga in 2 fights and then say he beats tha best defensive fighter of his own generation and 2nd most accurate in histo
ry is a long shot. Even at 147 which isnt floyds prime weight.
At the end of the day forrest did beat a prime mosely but so what. If baldomir would have beaten floyd does that not change the fact he was a bum. Forrest is no baldomir but floyd is definitly no mayorga.
Am i wrong ?
Mayorga obviously isnt an elite professional fighter, but he certainly isnt a bum. The man is a professional fighter who trains all the time, and can hit hard and take a good shot.
With that said, i agree with your sentiments. Styles making fights only applies when both individuals are skilled, otherwise the more skilled fighter will dominate the unskilled fighter. Same goes for weight, weight is only an issue when both are skilled/trained fighters. If they are not both skilled, then the smaller, skilled/trained fighter can easily beat the bigger fighter.
That version of mayorga lost to corey spinks. Didnt seem to give him much problems
Corey was legit. Dude had skills. They both brought the same issues to the table just in a different way.
Corey was cagey, elusive, and pretty slick. He kept dudes guessing, puzzled pretty much.
Mayorga did too, cept they are puzzled defensively moreso offensively. A wild mother ****er with decent power and tenacity.
Mayorga would probably drive to your house and punch your daddy in the face just for making this thread :lol1:
If he puched my pops i would snuff you just for yapping with so much D**K in your mouth. The ill give mayorga 300 stiches in his face for violating my pops F****T.
A "bum" who's accomplished 100x more than you ever will in the fight game, and who can beat up you and your entire family.
If Mayorga's a bum, what does that make you?
Homie can you please get the tatoo of mayorgas D**k removed from your face. Secondly its 2012 i will literaly beat mayorga to death. LITERALY
That version of mayorga would have been a problem for anybody. His wild unpredictable punched came from unusual angles and with decent power.

Cotto also struggled with Mayorga
And so did Mosley before the unlikely knockout at the very last second. Not trying to prop up Mayorga or anything but dude makes his opponents work for their wins. Gotta at least give props for that.
