    It was his last chance he probably trained harder than ever before, good showing by Mayorga but Cotto just had too much class....

      he didn't gas. looks like he really worked hard for this fight.
      Sure, He was fighting a torn cotto.. If that was the 2007 Cotto Mayorga wouldnt have lasted 7 rounds.

        that's hard to say.

        cotto of today is probably not as good as pre-margo cotto

        but i think the way the fight went should be attributed to how well-prepared mayorga was, not much on how "shot" cotto was.

          I think Cotto is just more of a boxer now and he picks his punches a lot more so the fight inevitably lasted longer, i think the talk got to cotto a little bit as well.

            Mayorga knew that if he won, he could make some real $$$ against Pac.

              I really dont think Mayorga (i hope anyway) hasnt retired, maybe it was a spur of the moment thing because he'd lost and broken his thumb? Did he really only get 50k for fighting cotto?
