Ricardo Mayorga vs Current WW’s

[Mike_b]

I think this modern era would be more kind to him than yesteryears era: he went against some heavy hitters: odlh, Trinidad, Moseley, cotto, the late great Vernon Forrest. All those guys were superior welterweight s than today's version. Errol may be marred with injuries, Shawn porter is mad short, Crawford is tiny, Danny Garcia is very basic. Although I don't think Ricardo can come back, he's too old, too much of them lit cigarettes. But definitely a fun fantasy matchup.

Prime Mayorga(the one that beat Forrest) could beat any welterweight today. I would favor him to beat all but Spence and Pacquiao. Mayorga would stop Crawford for sure.

Lmao.... He ain't beating nobody..... He would probably have moments vs DSG till he catch a hot one

once again showing why YDKSAB

i don't think understand how much bigger and stronger mayorga was compared to weak small guys like crawford, garcia, porter etc.

funnily enough mayorga has better handspeed than all the top welters now except pacman

crawford could actually be killed aganst mayorga.
that bum cant even take gary russels punches without getting injured LMAO 😂

spence is a fraud and a bum. i'll be surprised if he gets past garcia unscathed.

Forrest also had the straighter and quicker shots, and Mayorga was able to lure him into a brawl and stop him.

I agree that Trinidad and Delahoya would probably fair better than Forrest, but not guarantee they would beat a prime Mayorga.

That's a good point, and it gets into some of the reasons why Forrest lost to Mayorga. Vernon Forrest obviously had the physical ability and skills to beat Mayorga, but he was caught in the first fight with the wrong tactics and fought too conservatively in the rematch. Trinidad on the other hand figured out that short compact punches in between Mayorga's haymakers was the way to beat go. Trinidad was also indefatigable and bigger than Mayorga. DLH and Cotto basically imitated Trinidad's plan, and Vargas tried but was too slow by then and unable to execute it.

I think that if Mayorga would've come up the boxing ranks in this generation he would probably surprise one of our top welterweights the same way he did Forrest, but once the rest of the elite welterweights figure out how to fight him, he would have been defeated by most of them too.

The biggest fraud in boxing is Terrence 'Dud' Fraudford. Ducking anyone but b class or lower trinket holders, faded former champs and bums. Eye test doe. ESPN exclusivity and the Top Rank protection program saved his glass jaw from being exposed more than Gamboa and Eurobum Mean Machine did.

i never said crawford was good! ��

The same mayorga that loss his strap to cory no power spinks?

Danny would sleep mayorga with a no look left.

The thing is, he shouldn’t have lost lol. They actually missed a knockdown and double fought all 12 rounds like loma fought the first 6 against Lopez.

There’s no way anyone on here is gonna convince me that Shawn Porter wouldn’t get KTFO once he tries to brawl with him.

A prime El matador would clean out current welter
