Because it wasn’t an honorable victory. Cotto got gifted by the system. The referee, doctor, and the sympathetic fans practically held Cotto hands to victory. On top of that, Margarito has one eye.
Cotto faced a handicap and still fought scared. Some revenge huhI never thought he had loaded gloves in the first fight with Cotto. Hell he lost the early rounds and wore Cotto down and knocked him out. If he had these so call bricks inside his gloves he should have knock Cotto out in the first round. I have never seen a bit of proof his gloves were loaded for Cotto. Only assumptions.

Heres a good one: Tarver's ownage of JOnes.
Grabbed the microphone and everything! Roy started feinting but Tarver refuses to move...pressures Roy into the corner and the rest is history.
Nice, I’ve never been to MSG for a fight, definitely on the bucket list, unless AJ is mentally scarred, he should be able to deal with Ruiz in the rematch.
Yeah it’s obvious Margarito was cheating prior to Mosley. Nazim is way too long in the tooth to let someone get away with that. Thankfully he got caught before he ruined someone’s life, plastered wraps would be f***ing lethal
Facts______
I was at the first fight in MSG. I got AJ on rematch without hesitation
He is known has Margacheato after all around here. He definitely been cheating for a while before first cotto fight.
Nazim Richardson was the one who caught it at Mosley fight. Now commissions super strict. I use to wonder why some camps would send other people and not the trainer to watch opponent hand wraps. I never understood that.

Thanks man, I think AJ should win the rematch, I’ve always felt AJ was overrated and he’s always gonna be vulnerable but he has far too many advantages over Ruiz who I still don’t hugely rate tbh.

Margarito was a tough motherf***er no doubt, I was actually a fan until his lowlife tactics were discovered.
There’s no doubt in my mind he cheated prior to getting caught. I mean why would he randomly just decide to cheat against Mosley a fight he was a considerable favourite in btw

Now that I think about it. Margarito also had a hell of a chin and heart as well
But I suspect Margarito cheated many times. As much as he could. Didn’t Cotto accuse Margarito of using same plaster from Mosley discovery that he had on from their first fight? I remember the face off with Max Kellerman. The red dye on plaster was similar

Only advantages Margarito had were durability and endurance. Those two qualities took him to victory.
Ultimately, Cotto couldnt take as much as he dished out and his stamina failed him when Margarito took over.
That is why Cotto lost. Nothing else.
So do you believe Margarito was only planning to cheat in the Mosley fight? And hadn’t previously cheated?
He blatantly cheated against Cotto IMO and I thought Cotto got more than enough revenge in the rematch.

Nice list. :boxing:
First thing that came to my mind was Lewis - Rahman II. Reminds me of what’s going on right now with AJ - Ruiz
Then the older fights started to kick in. Good list

Victor Galindez vs Mike Rossman
Good shout. One of strangest moments in boxing history when Galindez refused to walk to the ring for the originally scheduled rematch. Also their first fight was on the undercard of Ali avenging his loss to Spinks.
Some of these may have already been mentioned...
Jones Jr-Griffin 2
Tarver-Jones Jr 2 (hated that fight)
Louis-Schmeling 2
Robinson-Turpin/Fullmer rematches
Marquez-Pacquiao 4
Pacquiao-Morales 2 and 3
Leonard-Duran 2
Lewis-Rahman/McCall rematches
Martinez-Williams 2
Wladimir-Brewster 2
Vitali-Sanders (avenging his brother)
Donaire-Darchinyan 1 (avenging brother)

Wait what? The part where Margarito punched Cotto in the face with bricks for 11 rounds doesn't count? That's an Okay advantage to have? :eek:

Everybody is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Margarito took cotto’s manhood and I know that’s hurtful to some people but you cant just accuse somebody without proof.
Margarito is Cotto’s daddy. Deal with it lol.
