Of course Margarito only have himself to be blamed for losing the fight.
But he's chances of winning went from high to almost zero just a few moments before his fight with Shane because because of the plaster issue.
It was impossible for Margarito not to be affected by this, specially in the ring where you need a lot of concentration. Its even generous to say that Marg was fighting around 50% of his total ability as a boxer that night.
True that Margarito was half hearted came fight time, but he was the only on to be blamed.
The reason Margarito was so great was because he was so focused. You can see it in how he fights. He starts slow because his frenzy takes time to build, but it does build. Yes, frenzy. That's why he loves it when fighters back up. He keeps coming forward and building confidence and working up to the point where he can throw 100+ punches a round. So, when he got busted with the loaded gloves, it really distracted him and he couldn't build on that mental state. It's also why his chin looked so much less uncrackable - he wasn't in the proper state of mind to ignore the pain. So, I want to see if he can recapture that wild animal style of fighting or if he's going to be distracted for the rest of his career.

AM deserved it. I feel no sympathy for AM at all probably ruined Cintron and Cotto's career. AM should be banned for life.
Sorry try again he was totally ready he said it his self his trainer told him not to worry.
of course he says he was ready before the fight, he also said he didnt know that he had loaded gloves.
after trying to cheat, the last thing margarito needed was to cry around like a baby after a loss..
but thats just my opinion

even a retired 50 year old mosley knocks out brutally any version of margarito including prime margarito

Well of course it bothered him that he didn't have his plaster on. But regardless Mosley was too fast for him. Mosley was throwing haymakers and when he got close to him he would just hold on. That disrupts anything that Margarito does. Regardless Mosley would have beat him around the same way even if he had his plaster on.

didnt he fight the nite his brother was murdered
and win by KO
if that didnt phase him
i doubt this would
Why end ? You gotta admit this is a true story
the bigger truth is he was still hurt from the cotto fight. he might have not been hurt during the fight but the months following he was, thats y he skipped clottey and almost passed up mosley.
yeah, Mosley sucked against Mayorga who pretty much had a war with an overweight Vargas...
Lets not forget Mosley came off a long layoff and was fighting at a heavier weight late in his thirtys againest Mayorga. Thats why he looked the way he did. I even said before the fight was signed back then to the people who said Mosley was going to lose to not base him off his last fight cause of that.

Jin Mosley had just asked Shane for a divorce so Shane had heavy stuff on his mind aswell. Unfortunately for Margarito the thoughts Shane had in his head that night had very bad intentions and Margs felt Sugar Shanes Wrath
i've brought this point up before. i give shane credit for the win, but i don't think margarito could fully focus on just the fight after the whole situation occurred backstage.
exactly my point.
Don't fool yourself, in the negotiations for the fight Margo took a long time to sign. It was the only fight out there at the time and they were holding out. Mosley got started to say to the media that Margo was scared and knew that he was gonna get KOed. This fight almost didn't happen.
Margo is been in alot of wars and there is no telling how much he has left. The time off might be a benefit to recover. After the Cotto fight he was suppose to fight in November and still needed time to recover from that fight.
Of course Margarito only have himself to be blamed for losing the fight.

This is true,and has been completely ignored(deliberately) by most on this forum. I have been saying this since the actual fight took place. He got caught with his hands in the cookie jar moments before the fight,yet Flomo's and other assorted pac detractors say it isnt so. Assholes mate.
We cant comprehend why this was so difficult for Flomos and Mosley fans to understand. The amount of emotional distraction on Marg was surely overwhelming. And thats what cost him the fight
