Not an excuse, I'm asking if this is true and even if it isn't true do you think it helps or hurts a fighter.

If anything, it should've affected Margs stamina.

no that should not matter. They are in training camps for weeks preparing for a fight. You should not be training the day before the fight. Maybe some very very light pad work at most. one day before the fight you should be ready to go!!

at the gym and my own experience the day before the fight isn't training but just 2 or 3 rounds of light pad work going over plans or what your going to do
to answer whether it would have helped Margarito it depends to what extent the training was, a hard training session NO light pads going over the plan YES it probably did but most of the work comes in the weeks in preperation

this is correct... boxers should not do heavy training prior to the fight.

if cotto rested the day before the fight, it's probably cause that's how he prepared for all his fights and he was undefeated until margarito.
