So the plaster did not matter?

This is pathetic, Margarito beat Cotto fair and square until proven differently. Besides, in that fight with Mosely no one could have taken the shots the way Marg did for 9 rounds. Had Cotto eaten those shots he'd have been gone in the first 2 rounds. Cotto couldn't deal with the pressure against Marg. The key to beating Margo is to clinch when he gets inside, stop him before he starts to smoke. Cotto neglected to clinch, he got annhilated for his negligence, but not before he put up one hell of a fight that should surely go down as one of the best Rican/Mexican battles. im PR and a monster cotto fan, but i agree, we'll never know if margo used plaster, and the fight itself was great, and knowone should shit on cotto for what happned, he put up a hell of a fight and should be proud.

No one wants to touch this one eh?? :lol1: I get what your saying, but I'm not a fan of speculation. We won't know until Margarito fights again, it could have truly been just a bad night.

That Mosley was faster, but he didn't have the power he has today, because he was a small welterweight then, and he is a huge welter weight now. You serious? Dude was not that small at welterweight...probably was like in the 150s on unofficial weight. Mosley came in like at 148 the fight before Oscar.

I have no proof.. except what the public already knows But.. sometimes you can just piece together certain things.. Prior to Fighting Mosley.. Margarito was often refered as things like "freak of nature" "a machine" "Unearthly" Because let's face it.. The man is crude in the ring.. But he always has 3 things going for him.. His chin ,his stamina, and his PUNCHING..Notice how he didnt care WHERE his punches land?? This could easily be because if you are plastered.. Hitting the arms ,shoulders and body will be much more punishing than if you are just hitting with a glove..This will certainly wear man down.. But mostly.. If a man can take your bet shot.. and you cant take his.. it will destroy you mentally.. How come in the Mosley fight Margarito suddenly had no power?? Why did the punches that did land on Shane have little effect?? Mosley has a good chin..but he can be hurt and discouraged.. Shouldn't someone with "Freak of nature" power at least back the guy up?? where were those wind sucking body shots??? Those will breaking arm and shoulder punches ??? Mysteriously vanished from one fight to the next.. just like that.. NOW one thing we are CERTAIN of.. is that Margarito did not enter the Mosley fight with loaded gloves.. Simple logic would say.. that if previous to the Mosley fight.. Margarito had awesome power.. But in the Mosley fight seemed to be quite average in the power department.. The only obvious change was not having plaster.. same man, 6 months time difference from last fight, Glaring discrepancy in punch efficiency... I ask you.. what else could it be???? Did Margarito suddenly become Human?? is he sick?? did someone steal his arms and replace them with weaker models?? Did he die and come back as a zombie ??? seriously please explain.. No one wants to touch this one eh?? :lol1:

What about Oscar in their first fight? They were landing bombs like the entire fight....and that was a prime Mosley btw. That Mosley was faster, but he didn't have the power he has today, because he was a small welterweight then, and he is a huge welter weight now.

Cotto didnt neglected the body he said he couldnt hit him it was Marg guard It was easier for Cotto to hit Margs in the head and Cotto got drunk trying to decapitate him, instead of trying to land to the body. COtto got over confident and showed off during that first RD..he though he would KO him within the first 5 rounds or so.. I think he had the same mentality as Rocky did.."he's only a man"

Shane is stronger than Cotto, both physically and in punching power, and didn't let himself get caught by Margarito. Margarito got no leverage on his shots, and the 100 punches he landed were all love taps on the inside nothing damaging.

Mosely started working TM body off the bat..soemthing that Cotto neglected to do during the entire fight. You could tell the body shots were hurtn TM in the beginning rounds of the fight... setting up the devestating KO.. TM chin is still amazing, just when you start hurting the body the head will collapse.. He to me didn't lose his power like that..he was just hurt and the fact that Shanes D was great that night... Cotto didnt neglected the body he said he couldnt hit him it was Marg guard

Oh he hit Shane, but since there was no plaster, there was no power. It was as if Tony had turned into Paulie Malignaggi over night. How mysterious is that? Mosely started working TM body off the bat..soemthing that Cotto neglected to do during the entire fight. You could tell the body shots were hurtn TM in the beginning rounds of the fight... setting up the devestating KO.. TM chin is still amazing, just when you start hurting the body the head will collapse.. He to me didn't lose his power like that..he was just hurt and the fact that Shanes D was great that night...

My point was he didn't hit Mosley anyway so you couldn't really tell, but i hope Cotto faces Margaritto after Clottey and sends the dude into Full time retirement -.- Oh he hit Shane, but since there was no plaster, there was no power. It was as if Tony had turned into Paulie Malignaggi over night. How mysterious is that?

Why do Cotto fans allways dodge the fact that his gameplan was terrible Mosley's was great, that's why Mosley totally owned him not due to him having no plaster. It annoys me a great fighter gets one of his biggest wins looked down on a little due to this plaster crap :( ****ing Margaritto to and his cheating bull shit.. people were like is "mosley gonna be killed come jan" when infact it was totally the other way round. Yet this win is not given the credit now No one is denying that Cotto was not clinching. What we are saying is, had Tony not had his plaster wraps, he would not have been doing the damage that he did, that is all. Cotto is not a clincher but I bet he learned how to clinch now eh? Shane came into the fight thinking Tony was a powerfull puncher and they trained with that mentality. Truth is, Shane could have faught the same way Cotto did and Shane would have won. The rematch will tell the tale of just what Tony is about with his plaster vs him not having any plaster. When Tony hit Cotto, it was as if he was using bricks and when Tony hit Shane, it was as if Tony had the fists of Malignaggi. So what happend? The bricks are what happend. You will all see that from now on, a no plaster Margarito is nothing more than a human punching bag and it will show in his next fight. He will have went from hitting like king kong to punching like Malignaggi mysteriously over night. But their will be no real mystery. It was called plaster of Perez.

Margarito's wraps had blood stains on them that indicated they had been used before. Isn't it odd that the blood stain that is seen on his hands after the Cotto fight is in the same location as that of the wrap they confiscated? If you are getting hit with cement body shots, of course you are going to break down.

Wow it was like watching the fight all over again ! Cheating is cheating , Margarina is a douche bag !

http://ktfo.myfirehost.com/Photos/tm012.jpg Tony to ref: "If I rub you off now, can you let me carry on?" Ref: "No that's cheating" Tony: "I know"

man the ammount of huge shots marg ate was unreal. it's amazing he lasted as long as he did. anyway, cheaters always lose in the end.

As others have said, eve if Marg hadn't been caught and got to use dirty wraps, SSM woulda won anyway. He tore Marg up and hardly gave him a chance to land any serious shots. SSM>Marg, so nope, the plaster wouldn't have mattered.
