Cannot claim this if his opponents were not able to really load up due to his plaster wraps. Cotto was punching in reverse for much of the fight. I assure you, it wasn't Margarito's natural "power." I said many times before, Margo doesn't like to be punched in the face. He covers up and his punch output is greatly reduced.
Cotto had no choice but to retreat. Plaster can be a bit hard...

Moot point. Marg is going to court over loaded gloves, the verdict is not out. Until the allegations are confirmed. Someone that relies on heavy punches, for 100 plus rounds…would do much more damage then what you saw in the Cotto match.
i can't remember in what rounds of the fight, but he smiled at mosley and mosley jumped on him right away. He didn't do much smiling in the mosley fight.
He lost his smile with his plaster.
naw kessler margo has the worst defense in boxing and the best chin..the phyco was smiling after the ko

If He had MORE natural power then maybe, but as you saw, Margarito has less than amazing power without the plaster, so to say Cotto should have looked worse with the Plaster is not necessarily so. The fact that Cotto was back peddling in round 2, to me is indicative that he was experiencing something that BIG punchers like Torres and Mosley were unable to bring to him.
Plaster. A superior fighter like Cotto beaing beatn by a BUM like Margarito.
Plaster.
I hope Margarito is starting a plaster business and just did this to promote his new business.
