Of course they do. When Cotto get's hit to the body like he did. Cotto isn't punching as hard. Cotto didn't go to the body because he was scared of getting hit by cement. Therefore tony doesn't break down. So it affects everything.
Boxing is like 80-90% mental. Loaded gloves gives you that mental edge over your opponent. Hitting someone with rock is much more of a deterent then hitting someone with a pillow, eventually the person getting hit with the rock will wilt.

Wrong. Cotto didn't goto the body because he couldn't find any openings.
are you trying to say that margarito beat all his opponents pre-mosley because of his chin, stamina and punch output rather than loaded gloves?
That..and the fact that if he just so happened to have loaded gloves..it wouldn't have mattered because of his OUTSTANDING Chin, Stamina, and Punch Output!..
