      I liked the way Paul faught in that fight, he actaully faught like a tall man. Thats when I knew, dude was the real deal

      While the su****ion of illegal wraps will linger, this post sums up the difference in their respective game plans to a T.

      PWill is defenitly for real. I think the Winky fight, win or lose, will show just how good he is.

Margarito corner was discussing strategy vs Williams while in the Cotto fight they were just telling him to don't be too confident, hows the punch, and your punches should be harder by now. I'm 100% sure he used it against Cotto, because of the footage from the fight,etc.
          cotto's stamina wasnt down because of plaster.. it was down because he is used to walking down his opponents and he had to use his feet alot more than he has had to in the past.. also he took a lot of body shots in that fight.. it wouldnt matter if there was plaster or no plaster body shots take it out of you regardless.. cotto had the wrong strategy, thats the key reason as to why he lost..

          and why wouldnt margarito use the plaster against williams if he used it against cotto?? margarito said himself williams is a more difficult matchup for him based on his size and reach and work rate.. plus he was undefeated going into the fight, yeah im pretty sure margarito may have used the plaster against williams.. dont try make cotto seem superior because of that

            At least 7 inches taller actually. And he's fighting at Middleweight in a couple of weeks. Williams didnt take the punishment Cotto took either. Malcolm just starts **** for fun.

              yup, it didn't have anything to do with the fact that Williams is a 6 foot middleweight and Cotto is a 5'7'' welter.

                I think Cotto beats Marg in a rematch. Not cause of the wrap bull****, but cause he saw the right strategy to beat him in the Mosley fight.

                  Antonio Margarito fought Paul Williams first then Cotto. So he needed to start winning again after the lost. He used the plaster against Cotto and continue against Mosley to prove it wasn't a fluke. There no way the loaded gloves to the body didn't wear down Cotto. Its not even close to being the same without plaster. I liked to check-out the Golden Johnson fight, but theres nothing you can find when he won in the first round.

                      Im a fan of Cotto and Margarito MAY have used illegal wraps, but there isn't a shred of proof, only speculation. Everything you posted is guess work, not fact.
