mayorga will take some serious ****en punishment in a great fight. margarito's solid chin, workrate make him a better fighter. The thing that sets margarito apart though is his stamina and that he wil continue to fight at the same pace forever, while mayorga's training habits are sketchy and will cause him trouble down the stretch, though hes the bigger man.
Margarito called out mayroga like crazy when he was at welter. watch the six heads lewis fight and a couple of others around that time, margarito wore a shirt that said wanted and had a picture of mayorga. don king didnt want to put mayorga in there with margarito because at that point he was more highly considered and could have been a money maker that toney could have derailed.
maybe because mayorga was beating a p4p fighter in forresst an not a unknown at the time in him
it was after that, but maybe.
he's just always been too high risk for his reward.
basically he's ****en smoking prospects and second tier fighters in a way that doesn't attract top tier fighters, who can all claim he hasn't beat any other top tier fighter. it's a viscous cycle for him.
if he doesn't get the floyd fight i wish he would get to fight zab or collazo, those fights would tell us where he really stands.
I have always thought a prime Mayorga would kill Margarito but he looked so ****ty in his last fight that I think he might be finished now. I would love to see it though
