    The Cotto vs. Mayorga weigh-in raises an interesting question...

    I am a Cotto fan. Watched the weigh-in, and first thing I must comment on is Mayorga is in shape. He also has the ultimate "puncher's chance". But, after seeing Cotto walk off, I ask the question...Is the "stare-down" a part of boxing's unwritten code, and it should be respected by all boxers? Or is Cotto's ploy a smart move?

      He basically without words told Mayorga that he is clown, that he doesn't deserve a staredown with him, and to know his role which is to be an opponent tomorrow.

        lol, right.

        I thought it was kinda cool of miguel snubbing mayorga the face off's during the press conferences, but come on, this is the weigh in, it is a ritual. Not too mention we get those cool pictures of them face to face just prior to the fight.

          smart move. cotto knows mayorga will pull something.
          why get riled up before a fight.

          cotto= controled rage.
          mayora= darwin award nominee

            I have to say in all honesty, I felt cheated at the weigh-in. I can see Cotto's point of view, don't give in to Mayorga, but the stare down? Cotto is known for being like the terminator, ICE COLD. And I will reiterate, I am a huge Cotto fan. But as others have said, we watch the weigh in for the most part for the stare down! That's what I was waiting for! Especially with Mayorga involved! Cotto should have just stood there, stared him down, regardless of his opponent. I could be wrong, but I felt a bit robbed.

                It's a weigh-in man, settle down. Cotto is trying to play mind games with Mayorga by not getting involved.

                  Sorry you feel that way, personally i think it was very smart and classy of Cotto. After all, he's the man! Mayo is all mouth and has been dissing Cotto, and one of the best ways to insult somebody is to ignore them...lol.

                    Cotto already did all the face-to-face stuff a month or so ago. I'm sure he's tired of the b/s.

                    Re. Mayorga being in shape, how can you tell?
