Margarito has fights like that. He cannot consistently keep it up from fight to fight, look at his fight with Paul Williams. I think what happened against Mosley was that an ATG embarrassed a guy who had come off a fight where he gave everything he could. Margarito took just as much punishment as Cotto did when they fought, and probably lost even more.
before i ad my thought of interlect i want to say a few things about myself, so its understood there is no bias in my statement, Im a die hard, boxing fan, not that its important but im black, and before this whole plaster debacle, you couldnt of found a more die hard non mexican margarito fan like myself. With that being said, 1st tip your hat to Mosely for a masterful piece of boxing he showed us against margarito.
I was personally disgusted when i heard about this, cause i can admit i was a margarito dick ryder, i was impressed with his style, chin, will, and determination in the ring. But if anybody on this site actually thinks that the only time margarito used or tried to useplaster was against mosely your ****ing kidding yourselfs. Cotto had facial fractures, and though he took a beating in that fight, he was actually hit more against shane mosley and zab judah, yet his face didnt come close to swelling that bad, and margarito was only this dominant in the division because of his height advantages, when he fought somebody his size, i.e, Paul williams, or sergio martinez, he looked very average.
I remember a fight against a guy named Sebastian Lujin or Lujan, youtube it, margarito was beating this guy so bad that his ear was literally ripped from the side of his head, before this whole plaster of paris thing occured, that fight was my confirmation, that margarito was a bad mofo, now after the allegations, im willing to bet he was wearing plaster as fas back as that fight too. please before you respond, if you havent seen the fight, just type it in on youtube. Point im trying to make is that, now you have this kid Holloway saying that he believes that that could be the case with him during his sparring sessions, which i doubt, however, margarito only has to blame himself, for these allegations, FOR CHEATING IN THE 1ST PLACE. No offense im really pissed, cause he was calling for the likes of Mayweather and DeLa Hoya, and every and i mean every sparring partner he had in the last 5 years all say the same thing, that he packs a powerful punch for a guy who is that slow and thin. Which leads me to believe that he was giving the benefit of the doubt this who time, now he got caught, and there are still some of us who actually are in denial by either pretending that he didnt know, or that it was the 1st time he even tried. Pleeeeeeeease, If he just came off a victory against a sure hall of famer in cotto, and if he didnt feel the need to cheat then, what made him decide , that all of a sudden out of the blue, im going to put my career at risk, after he coming off the biggest fight in his career. simple, he thought he can get away with it again. But he got caught, if you dont believe that, please respond back and tell me why you think he decided he needed an advantage against a fighter that lost to the man he knocked out. Margarito knew he was numbered, to the point that he quit, because without that plaster, and the fact that he wasnt really touching mosely anyway he had no chance in that fight, the fight against cotto, cintron, and if there is any boxer besides cotto who should be heard, its sebastian lujan, because that cheating mother****er almost cost him his hearing, and if you saw that fight, no offense, slow punches,does not make ones ear literally come off.
