    Cotto Mayorga - Probably not a good fight for Cotto??

    Everybody knows that Cotto's boxing skills are superior to Mayorgas but going back and watching a couple of Mayorgas fights I can't help but feel that he was able to get that wild right hand to connect with fighters much harder to hit than Cotto.

    That combined with Cotto's questionable chin and Mayorga being Bigger and 3" more reach I'm thinking Cotto is going to have to be very very patient and not be in there mixing it up in the early rounds.

    Just my opinion

      Yea I can't for the life of me understand why people would think about criticizing this fight!!! Whoever counts Mayorga out is an idiot bottom line...

      I don't think Cotto can KO Mayorga IMO, but I think it'll go to a clear UD...

      Yea Mayorga had some losses to bums early in his career, but once he got established and got some more experience, look at the people who he lost to...

      This is gonna b a good fight, don't care what anybody says....

        The only problem I have with this fight is the ppv,other than that,it's a telling fight on the part of Cotto,if he can't beat Mayorga,there will be no Margarito on the next stop,But if Cotto beats them both,I will need a Pacman rematch with no weight stipulations.

          Mayorga's game for the 1st 3 rounds, but Cotto inevitably will break him down.

            I don’t think Mayorga’s going to come out swinging from the opening bell, he’s tried to box in most of his recent fights -- which in my eyes isn’t to his advantage.

            He'll start to fall apart in the later rounds, body shot stoppage, as usual.

            Still root for him though.

              mayorga's dropped three of his last six, all by knockout and all 3 to fighters known to have a good left hook.

              this a terrific style matchup for cotto. cotto by ko from 8-12

                This. This is an easy fight for Cotto. I'm a huge Mayorga fan too. Just no way he wins this fight. This is just a tune up for Cotto. The real test is Margarito. Which I doubt he'll pass.

                  Don't have a problem with the ppv, just stream it....

                  This is a gonna b a big year Cotto bro, he'll stop Mayorga, stop Marg, and we'll see what happens next man, but in all honesty i don't think he can beat Pac, thats just being real...

                  He's wayy too busy man, its one thing being busy but being busy and accurate, working from angles with both hands, it's just too much..

                  Cotoo is an A class boxer but Pac is just wayyyy too good, even though I would like to see the rematch also with no weight stipulations, I think Pac takes it anyway...

                    Look man, I hate talking about Cotto and Margarito already lol, but bottom line is, that you have to be realistic...

                    Has Margarito looked anything like his old sel since after the whole scandal?!! Absolutely not, to make it worse he's been embarrased his last 2 legit fights (yea he beat some bum in Mexico) but he's not the same.

                    When Cotto completely outclasses Marg in the rematch, I want to know where all the comments about Margarito winning cuz he walks through Cottos punches and his relentless preassure and all that bull**** are gonna go, where all the comments will end up are is that he's not the same since the Pac beating, (Mind u Cotto went from the Marg beating and then 1 fight later to the Pac beating)

                    So we'll see what happens... All we can do is wait it out..
