Dan Rafael: Myself and lots of others flat out say Margarito cheated against Cotto

Papafrita, Margarina, Plasterito, a cheater by any other name is still a cheater. :nana:

This is amusing. First of all, we will never KNOW for sure. We are all just speculating. But educated speculation, with actually WATCHING that fight, and knowing the sport, knowing the fighters, absolutely NOTHING looks out of the ordinary in Margarito-Cotto. I mean, has anyone seen the Margarito destructions of Cintron? He had Paul Williams, a guy with a heavyweight frame, backing up and hurting him. Margarito is a powerful fighter. Watch the Cotto fight again, people. Cotto was getting hammered in there. Constantly. He hung in there longer than I thought he would as I saw it live, because he was getting brutalized on the inside and with those wide punches to the head. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, nobody (and I mean NOBODY) did I say NOBODY? Yes, NO-****ing-body said a single word about anything looking odd or seeming abnormal about the fight that night after the fact. Not until after the Mosely incident, now everyone is dialing in their hindsight. LOL "Oh yeah, I ...uh....thought something was odd about how Margarito was hurting him... Yeah. I did." Really? Cause you didn't SAY shit about it until the Mosely incident. Raphael is a Cotto fan, it's cool. But I think it's irresponsible of him as a journalist to say that Margarito cheated, because he simply does NOT know, and NOTHING looked odd about the fight whatsoever. If it DID, someone would've said something. It's only now after the Mosely thing that he, and other Cotto fans (understandably), are going back and looking at that fight, trying to see things that aren't there... and telling themselves they see it. Margarito brutalized Cotto. He took everything that Cotto could throw, and Cotto became tired and Margarito just started putting it on him. It's simple.

Proof not required. Margarito is a proven cheater. Once a cheater always a cheater. Insert comment about Felix Trinidad and Mosley here]

Margarito cheated against Cotto. /thread

Probably because it's the biggest cheating scandal in recent boxing history? That's just a shot in the dark though. I could be wrong. Yeah well Cotto fans can carry on talking about it all they want, nothing will change about the result.

If tastes like chicken, looks like chicken, feels like chicken, it's probably - turkey.

He, and others can flat out say whatever they want. It doesn't make it flat out true. Or flat out proven. And it flat out never will. That said, I believe he cheated in the Cotto fight.

It'll never be proved either way so why do people constantly talk about it? Anyone watch Steve Bunces hour last week? Cottos people didn't even bother to check out Margaritos wrapping, so there ya go Probably because it's the biggest cheating scandal in recent boxing history? That's just a shot in the dark though. I could be wrong.

I really wish Cotto could fight Marg again if Marg ever did come back..Marg will definately be without the plaster and it will be a diff fight..

Exactly, it's funny though how the Margarito clan responds to this accusation though. I sometimes think it's only because Cotto is Puerto Rican and it was the biggest PR VS Mexico match up of recent times and they can't stand the idea that they won, but only because they had a coward with loaded gloves representing there nation. It would be foolish to think he would try against Mosley but not Cotto or other people first. Margaritos Corner: How are the punches? (Margarito suddenly looks very uncomfortable on camera) I wonder why that was. :thumbsdow

Put it this way i dont believe he just cheated for just 1 night only against the Sugar man... exactly...cant believe these marg fans havent hoped onto a new bandwagon by now.....

Rafael has hated on Margarito for years

Put it this way i dont believe he just cheated for just 1 night only against the Sugar man...

Nuthugger or not...its pretty stupid to think marg didnt cheat....Marg was an average fighter who used plaster to beat his opponents. It caught up to him and he went in without it and got ktfo...pretty simple..surprised these Marg nuthuggers are still around...

Rafael is a Cotto nuthugger
