The whole illegal wraps thing really killed his rep as a true warrior, IMO.
We'll never know if he used them against Cotto or not... but logic leads me to believe that he didn't just up and decide to use them in arguably, the biggest fight of his career (Mosley), never having used them before.
As for his chin, Mosley didn't have a problem cracking it.
As impressed as I was with the way Margarito broke down and destroyed Cotto, I was twice as impressed with the way Shane broke down and destroyed Margarito.
The Cotto/Marg fight was a "pick 'em" for me, though Cotto was a slight favorite.
But against Mosley, Tony was a huge favorite and nobody expect Shane would win. Let alone beat the dogpiss out of him, the way he did.Comment

I don't know how long you have been watching boxing but there are no favorites when you are dealing with fighters at the level of Marg, Mosely and Cotto.The whole illegal wraps thing really killed his rep as a true warrior, IMO.

We have seen time and time again in history that because fighter A beats fighter B and fighter B beats fighter C, doesn't mean fighter C can't beat fighter A......
Marg still showed incredible spirit and chin against Mosley. That fight would have been over a long time ago for most fighters, Marg took some serious punishment, more than he should have because he didn't want to quit on his stool.
Say what you want but that takes heart and balls my friend.
Marg is an idiot for cheating and people are going to think he did it vs Cotto....I personally don't know or claim to know. All I know is if I'm in a bar fight and I'm out numbered, I want Antonio Margarito watching my back...Comment
