Mayorga decides not to call it quits just yet

[pinkpanther]

If somebody could have got hold of Mayorga two years ago then he could have been unbelievable, when I say somebody I refer to a disiplined manager and a more technical trainer.

wait how can u say his chin wont be the same..come on...its wasnt like when tito got owned ..when he was dropped he couldnt stand good...mayorga walked back to his corner..so mayorga (a good welter) being ko'ed by a true MW aint ****

Total nonsense. What fight were you watching back in September, 2001? Trinidad beat the count and walked to his corner afterwards. Maybe you should check it again. So what if Mayorga walked to his corner. Vargas, Joppy, and Reid also walked after the fights, they were not on stretchers. But I must ask, Where they the same after Trinidad?

Mayorga decides not to call it quits just yet

"It took just about three weeks for former WBA/WBC welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga to announce his return to the ring after having announced his retirement following the brutal beatdown Felix Trinidad handed the Nicaraguan in his last fight.

Mayorga, together with Tony Gonzales who handles certain legal matters for the fighter, told Miami's Jorge L. Perez / El Nuevo Dia newspaper that he will come back to fight again, this time in the 154-pound ranks per the fighters promoter, Don Kings recommendation."

You've got my number?? Why am I still the champion then?

[Explosivo]

We saw that Mayorga does not belong at 160.

Why? Just because he lost to Felix Trinidad?

[Texasboy34]

I am glad he is still going to fight. Love him or hate him he draws a crowd, and his fights are usually entertaining. I would love to see him, and Vargas fight.

Not at all. You should keep in mind three important factors:
1. Trinidad had been away for more than 2 years(29 months)
2. Mayorga had never been knocked down let alone Ko'ed.
3. Maybe Mayorga's chin will not be the same after the Trinidad fight.

Huh?

1. Trinidad took Mayorga 'cause he knew the guy was custom made for him. Layoff or not, Mayorga was Tito's punching bag that would not back down. He made Tito look better than most of his sparring partners.
2. Mayorga gave Tito a gift in the first round ... his chin. That 2nd left woppled Mayorga and he tried to cover it up with a dance. He knew he was ****ed when he tasted that power. He should never have done that, 'cause it affected him and he never recovered. The knockdown was inevitable 'casue Mayorga showed-up unconditioned and ******.
3. Mayorga probably won't offer it to anybody like that again. Tito made sure of that.

Give Trinidad a break. Just because he pummeled Mayorga does not mean that El Matador was a tomato can. Everyone knows he was a dangerous and tough opponent. Besides, tell me who took on a bigger risk after a two and a half year lay off.

[DamienFromTheAshes]

Mayorga still took the bigger risk. That's like saying Jones vs. Tyson that Tyson took the bigger risk even if a prime Jones took on a just out of prison Tyson. Jones would've moved up 2 weight classes, would've been killed, literally, and would've taken the bigger risk.

Trinidad is a career killer. Just ask Vargas or Reid. Look what Tito did to Joppy. Sorry but Joppy was a much better skilled opponent than Mayorga. Trinidad was moving up in that fight.

I'm not dissing Trinidad though. It was Mayorga's choice to fight him. It was the wrong choice, lol.
