    Minor question...Why didn't you use a 1-10 scale if you are including .5s?

    I'd say he has average power at 154. But using Julian Jackson as the barometer, I'd say 2 out of 5.

    I'd say a 3, just slightly above average. Nothing special.

    I was going to say the same thing, if your going to use decimals, just use a one to 10 scale, nice clean integers, more intuitive.

    I agree with Jake, just average at world level. I'd say 5 out of 10.

    2.5-3 seems about right.

    Everybody is going 2-4 on this.

    I gave him 2.5 and I think that is generous.

    btw - i switched to HBO immediately after the fight was over... did they interview Mayorga after the fight? What happened did he break his hand? Did Cotto punch his hand on the follow thru of that lefft hook?

    '

    Mayorga said it was his thumb that was hurt...but all the replays from the final exchange don't show any contact between his left hand and any part of Cotto's body/fist....

    Get used to it. Jose Sulaiman promised me to look into a five point must system.

    That is way off base. Look closer to his fights, you can't possibly claim that
