Mayorga? Who cares?
Ricardo Mayorga is a classless scumbag and a dirty fighter, so obviously the fair-weather fans love him. But, regardless...he's a pimple on the ass of the sport who just happens to sell tickets. There's absolutely nothing special about him other than his penchant for whining after losses.
As far as boxing goes, he got a lucky KO against Vernon Forrest and then got a fortunate decision in the rematch. His 12-round embarassment against the far superior Cory Spinks was epic, and his ill-advised middleweight tryout vesus the powerful Tito Trinidad ended up to be Mayorga's biggest disaster. He's fed upon easy opponents for the majority of his career and now continues to cash in on the Forrest victories. One has to wonder, how long will that last? How long will people give him credit where credit isn't due? When will people wake the hell up and realize that "El Matador", though fearless, is just another wide-swinging idiot who digs more holes in his game than a gravedigger in Iraq?
He's a warrior, but a fighter with any skill can out-box him without much trouble. He's nothing special. I hope Simms makes him look like Trinidad made him look - bloody, confused and utlimately...a loser.
Let's get rid of this Mayorga guy and get back to boxing.
