I think the Margarito scandal has definitely uplifted Cotto and his confidence.

[boxing_fan75]

I think he DEFINITELY suspects, possibly is even sold on the idea, that Margarito used wraps in his fight. He has even said things where he didnt come right out and say it... but you get the general idea of what hes saying...

Question: Capatillo admitted to what he did but Margarito has declared himself innocent of any wrongdoing, do you feel that’s correct?

Miguel Cotto: All I know is that when everybody gets their hands wrapped we know what’s in them. Every boxer knows if there is something different in their hands or not.

And I think, as a fighter, you would know if you have anything in there or not.


Miguel Cotto: I'd like to think he fought me in the clean way. He didn't use anything and he just had a good night against me and he beat me," Cotto said. You saw my face. I had a lot of swelling. But the only who can answer this question is Margarito himself.


I think that Cotto feels uplifted and not so down on his loss, because I think in A LOT of peoples eyes, that win is possibly tainted.

Can we prove it? Of course not.
Can we just dismiss it, and not think about it? Of course not.

In that light, I feel the win is tainted... Not technically, but in the minds of alot of fans... If you were ever going to use wraps it would be in the biggest fight of your life against Miguel Cotto.... not a 37 year old Shane Mosley.

And it wasn't even the commission that caughtt him in the first place, it was Bernards trainer, Nazeem. So the commission never caught the cheating in the FIRST PLACE.

I feel like Cotto has possibly been forgiven for his last loss in the minds of a lot of people around here, and I feel like I am one of them.

You can't prove it, but you can't dismiss it.

so is cotto going to fire evangilista and sue the nevada commission for allowing margarito to fight with illegal wraps?

so is cotto going to fire evangilista and sue the nevada commission for allowing margarito to fight with illegal wraps?

Why would that make him want to fire Evangelista?

Why would that make him want to fire Evangelista?

I think what he means is that he believes Evangelista was there watching when Capetillo wrapped his hands before the fight against his nephew and was unable to detect foul play unlike Nazeem Richardson. I'm sure from now on his camp will be paranoid throughout the rest of his career. They learned their lesson the hard way...
