MARGARITO: "I was weight-drained in the Mosley fight"...believe him?

[QUISQUEYA]

Cheatin'-ass Tony is saying that he had problems making weight for that fight. He is a HUGE welterweight, and you can't help but wonder what it takes out of him to make that weight.

Hand-wrap issues aside, do you think there's any truth to his claim that he was struggling to make weight for that fight?

[ACHlLLES]

they didn't let him use his plaster he meant, punch-stats says he landed 108 punches on mosley. I could only imagine how much more punches he would have landed if he wore plaster. Alot more since he would have tired Mosley out and Mosley wouldn't have landed 180 something punches I forget the punch-stat on mosley.

No excuses. SSM just beat his ass.

[katsidismichael]

I belive him.Margarito will knock BALCO ass out in rematch!

[Porter's Dad]

Nope.

Mosley fought a smart fight and used his speed and experience (clinching, unlike Cotto) to win.

If anything else was a factor, it was probably the psychological impact of being caught so close to the fight. There's no way that could not have affected him.

Yep..he wouldve weighted more with the plaster.....he's telling the truth they drained his nutt sack when they took his wraps

[PoetryInMotion]

His hands were a little lighter so he shouldnt have had any problems making weight.
