If Margarito would have lost to Cotto...

[savorduhflavor]

Apparently he doesn't punch hard enough, cuz his shot had little effect on Tony. Shane hurt Tony from the get go. The difference: Punching Power. Cotto doesn't hit nearly as hard as his fans suggest. That's what allowed Tony to get to him, loaded gloves or not.

Not true. Shane set up shop in the middle of the ring. Punches when you're putting everything behind them and coming foward, are different than punching on the move going backwards. If Cotto was as smart as Shane, and fought the same fight, he wouldn't have been going backwards and his punches would have had way more of an effect. I'm not saying the same result would have happened, but that makes a big difference in power.

And I agree with Kessler that it's unfair to group all Cotto fans together.

And I also agree with the general premise of the thread. If Cotto had beaten Margarito the backlash of all this wouldn't be near as big as it's been. But I mean, there is somewhat of a reason ya know? I personally don't act as if it's fact that Tony used the wraps against Cotto, that's grossly unfair to Tony. But to not think of it as a very real possibility is plain gullibility.

...Cotto fans wouldn't be making half the fuss they're making now about Tony's hand wraps. They're just using this issue to justify the hatred they feel against Margarito for busting up thier idol and giving him his first defeat.

Cotto fans are more "up in arms" about the whole issue than SHANE MOSLEY, who on the contrary is really not that bothered by it. I just don't get it. Let it go. He got caught. He's suspended. The issue has been settled.

Well they caught Margarito just prior to the Mosley fight, so of course Shane isn't bothered because he didn't have to deal with it, the pressure was on Margarito at that point.

And don't try to downplay the whole hand wraps situation with Margarito and throwing it at Cotto fans like they're all jumping for joy. Most Boxing writers, experts, fans, etc all believe Margarito used the wraps in the past. You should be mad your fighter is now and forever will be looked at as a cheat. Cotto's on to bigger and better things...can't say the same for Margarita.

Why would Mosley fans be upset??? Their man didn't get peppered by plastered Gloves all night long.. did he?? OH.. and How the hell can they condemn anyone for cheating when their boy is Mr Balco's *****..???

Why don't you mention Margarito's fans who are "making a Fuss" and are "up in arms" over all of this.. After all I am the guy who ranted and raved about Margarito's "X Factor" .. when all along he was he was deceiving everyone.. Including his own fans..

Karma is a ***** I guess..

**** you!!!!!!!!!

He has been making the same BS thread for like a week now, but he want people to not talk about Margarito cheating ass, well, live by example and dont make this ****** threads. He is the one that sounds butthurt that Margarito is a proven cheater. I havel realize and accepted that Cotto lost and possibly he got cheated against, but I have not talked about it for a while now.

This is he only thread in the front page concerning Margarito and Cotto fans. And just because a butthurt Margarito fan made it!!!!!

So **** off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cotto couldn't back Margarito up period. Shane did.

Nobody seems to take into account that maybe, despite being a good fighter, Cotto just doesn't hit that hard.

Shane had power and speed that hurt Margarito, Cotto didn't have either.


Wraps or not, nothing changes that fact.

****** ****ing post, have you thought that maybe the reason why Shane could back off Margarito is that he wasn't getting hit with bricks. Shane didn't really care what Margarito hit him with because his punches without plaster weren't hurting him at all. When you're not worried about was coming back at you , you can sit on your punches and hit harder. Did you take that into account.
