Cotto-Mayorga talks!
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Former world champion Ricardo Mayorga claims he has inked a deal with DKP for a July 19 title challenge against WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto to take place at a site in the United States. In that bout, the always entertaining "El Matador" promised to KO Cotto "in three or four rounds." Mayorga also revealed that he considered a fight with Shane Mosley, but said the offer from Golden Boy Promotions wasn't sufficient to motivate him to accept the fight. Top Rank has confirmed discussions in regard to Cotto-Mayorga, but nothing is finalized at this moment. In the meantime, Cotto has to get past Alfonso Gomez on April 12.
