All of this is just hype for a mis-matched fight. I bet your gut feeling when this fight was first announced wasn't "WOW, that will be one heckuva fight, I wonder who will win!" Nope. It was probably more along the lines of "I hope Manny doesn't break Mosley's face the way he did to Margarito. Shane Mosley is a likeable guy and doesnt deserve that."
I've never defended Margarito, but lets be honest. Plaster or no plaster, Cotto got pummeled in that fight. You can't get hit that many times and not expect to lose the fight. Also, plaster in Margarito's gloves wouldn't have helped him walk through Cotto's punches. I dont think there was one punch that really hurt Margarito in that whole fight.
I think the rematch can go either way, but I think both have declined an immense amount since the first fight.
Also, can anyone explain to me why Cotto was being called a "future hall of famer" by the media before the mayorga fight?
