prime, 6 years ago
compare that to how he looked against Roberto Garcia. It seems that along the way he progressively started to lose power, and became more focused on volume punching.
I agree, he's a totally different fighter when they don't let him use plaster in his gloves. In fact, I would go so far as to say he is a complete joke of a fighter without plaster.
(lol @ "falled")
accordingly to your timelime, Margarito was at least 3 yrs past prime for his first fight with Cotto?
Not three years but Margs was past his prime when he fought Cotto.

accordingly to your timelime, Margarito was at least 3 yrs past prime for his first fight with Cotto?lol, I noticed the falled as well coming back into the thread. Was meant to be fallen.
And yes, I do believe Margarito was on the slide before facing Cotto. Not a drastic amount by any means, but starting to slip. Cotto was his last really good performance, that fight ruined him imo.
Cotto doesn't look like the same fighter either, what's your point?
Both are past it but that doesn't mean we can't see a good fight.
I never said anything about the fight not being good. I just was in the mood to watch this fight and noticed that Margs looks substantially better in it than he does today.
