    He has 1 more fight left. Against Arturo Gatti! That would be something! Heart vs Heart. Power vs power. You can say Gatti has been through so many wars, though I think the amount of punches Mayorga has taken between Tito and Oscar can add up to the entire amount of punches Gatti has taken. At least Gatti attempts to show defense

      And the cigs are to bad. He looked horrible. He looked as if he was in good shape, but his balance and foot work were horrible. He had no defense, and threw almost no effective punches. DLH walked all over him. But he does have heart. I wish I could see him in a slug fest with Gatti.

            if he were to fight gatti he would have to go to 147 cause theres no way gatti's management would let him go all the way to 154

              mayo just got exposed big time. he can still fight no doubt and can draw some fights but the next time he blabbermouths no one will take him seriously. he could eat more live chickens but people wouldnt buy him this time. win 2 more fights earn retirement money and go back to managua.

                  I think the only big fight left for Mayorga is Fernando Vargas at 154. I could definitely see Vargas taking this fight if he loses again to Mosley. This would be a great promotion and a great fight between two guys who are clearly past their prime but are aggressive power punchers. All the Post Traumatic Tito Syndrome would do is slow down the action a bit, but there would still be TONS of action.

                  If you load up the undercard, you could get 400,000 buys with Vargas' broad appeal. This fight was on the path to getting made until Vargas signed to fight Mosley last fall.

                    Of course Mayorga isn't finished yet. There is always room for someone with his personality and his power/brawling style on a boxing card. This was the second fight he headlined a PPV on, and those 2 were because of his opponent. But can he continue fighting and drawing fans? Of course. There's a number of opponents out there that he could have in-demand fights that would main event a Showtime or HBO card...

                      Being a huge Mayorga fan I can say this. Mayorga looked like utter **** against DLH. Not the fact that he got beat badly, just the fact that he seem to have massively degraded in every aspect, power, speed, chin, stamina. I don't know what the hell happened, but I am starting to guess that Mayorga did in fact, no train for this fight. He might of said he did, but he definitely did not. If he doesnt go back down to 147, quit his smoking, drinking, and be focused again, he can beat anyone at 147. This is a big if, considering I'v come to realize myself that Mayorga is mostly all talk. Yes, I am one of his biggest fan, but already am starting to see his huge flaws. He need to go back to 147, and stay away from the elites for at least 2-3 years. He can beat up B fighters, and then maybe his retirement fight he can fight an A level fighter again.
