Maybe I'm a bit slow but it only just occurred to me how much this fight cost Cotto. Yeah most people question the actual loss but that isn't it.
Cotto was in line to fight De La Hoya, this would have actually been a career high for Cotto. I think he would have gone on to beat De La Hoya he would have then become a superstar.
Because of his loss, Pacquiao got the De La Hoya fight, the millions and the superstar status. This could have all been Cotto's and we would have probably seen a Cotto vs Mayweather match.
Now it's all Pacquiao, I don't begrudge him any of this though if I was Cotto all of this would be running through my mind, I'd actually want to a rematch not to win but to cause severe damage.
True.
But Margarito robbed HIMSELF of millions of cheating. LOL
He ****ed Cotto over but Cotto will keep making millions. Plasterito on the other hand has ****ed himself for life.
Very good point that had'nt been considered. But then some people call Cotto a whiner for calling for Margarito to be banned for life. If I were Cotto I would BE pissed off and hate his guts forever. Frankly I feel Cotto has been too generous in controlling his public statements about this.
He has been generous. I think he would be able to take it on the chin if it was his own short comings caused him this much but when you lost because someone cheated you. I dunno that would actually piss me off more.
People say he should take comfort in the fact that his loss may have been down to the guy cheating but that would actually piss me of 10x more.

I don't think Cotto vs DLH would have been made.
Oscar was scared of Cotto, didn't he use the excuse my wife is puerto rican and I can't fight puerto ricans or some shit. Yet, he fought trinidad...
Cotto robbed himself by letting a one dimensional fighter kick his ass. I know that sounds like a flame, but it's more of a disgruntled complement. I believe Cotto could have won, bricks or no bricks, simply because of his raw talent. Cotto lost a fight to a man with a better plan that day, not to a cheating man.
Do you think Mosley would have lost if Margarito was loaded? I highly, highly doubt it would have had an impact on the fight.
u highly doubt that?? why don't u get hit with a loaded gloves then talk. no offense buddy but if one punch can change a fight don't u think that getting hit with loaded gloves will be the same?? i don't think so....

I gotta agree... if cotto beat margo he would've got dlh.
that said, there's no evidence that margo actually cheated against cotto, but it's probable.

Yeah, and a possible fight against Mayweather.
o you think Mosley would of lost if Margarito was loaded? I highly, highly doubt it would of had an impact on the fight.
Do you think Margarito would have fought the sameway if he had loaded gloves, just saying. I mean if I entered a fight knowing I have knuckle dusters the way I'd fight would differ completely as I would know that no matter what pain they cause me my punches would **** them up eventually.
Him getting busted cheating would have lowered his confidence, also it's the fact that he would know his career is in danger.

De La Hoya said he would fight the winner. I guess he smelled the pussy on Margacheato and chose to fight Pacquiao instead.
Obviously he said he would fight the winner as it created hype on that fight but everyone expected Cotto to win and he probably would have, I am convinced he cheated my dad thought something was suspect before the whole shit with Mosley went down and what he said after the fight makes perfect sense now, the punches Margarito threw shouldn't have busted Cotto's face up the way it did.
He cost his millions and he shaved years off of his career. More I think about it is the more I think the cheat should be banned for good.
totally agreed

but remember that cotto's back in the show meanwhile margacheato is in tijuana hiding.
cotto will be bigger than he was before and he's not afraind of anybody.
If he beat De La Hoya he would be the man everybody wants to fight is what I'm saying. A Floyd vs Cotto fight was so close as I feel if he beat Margarito and De La Hoya Mayweather would have come out and fought him.
Though I wouldn't be vex at a Mayweather and Pacquiao fight I'd have loved to see him square of against Cotto.

Wow, I completely forgot about that. The Cotto-Margarito fight had crazy implications. Think about it. Great point.
but remember that cotto's back in the show meanwhile margacheato is in tijuana hiding.

Wow, I forgot about that fight. You're absolutely right this match was going to be big for Cotto. But I think the fight can still be made at 154, De La Hoya has that kind of power that he can lose fights and come right back in another big fight. The Golden Boy, Lol.
Even though the fight can still be made, because of De Laya Hoya's destruction at the hand of Pacquiao it will be less ''defining''.
