Larry Merchant: Margarito had loaded gloves so I give Cotto a pass for that loss

[2nd Round KO]

Officials watched Margarito get his hand wrapped too. LMAO.

We can't prove he did cheat, you can't prove he didn't.

Another Horus ALT?

Nevada officals watched Tony's hands get wrapped.

They didn't see **** wrong.

Cotto got his little overrated ass stomped by a mofo slower than a Fedex truck.

Deal with it.

So did the California officials and they were unaware of the loading taking place. It was Nazeem who outed Margarito not the state officials. Your argument is nil.

^ Co-sign status.

I don't care if Margarito cheated, that burden of proof is not on me. I do care that a supposed elite boxer quit in the middle of the 11th round. Billy Collins Jr. never quit.

With all due respect to Collins and what he had to go thru, he was fighting a trail horse, a journeyman, not a world class boxer and champion. Bit of a difference between the two.

Californial officials let Tony cheat.

Cotty v Tony was in..................NEVADA........................ .....


Williams and Clottey didn't fold up when they faced the plaster.

Clottey was completely unmarked.

What about that???

You're argument fails because Cotto fought Tony in NEVADA...not California.

You're absolutely right. But it can be proven that Cotto has a loss. And that loss is to Margarito. Anyway you chop it, he lost. I wish there was a way to know for sure, but fact is, there isn't. Best to just let it go.

So the officials are incompetent, big ****ing surprize. Surely you can do better than that.

Clearly Margarito's 'win' is tainted, so it logically follows that the 'loss' is not legitimate either.

Tyson-Golota was ruled a no-contest because Tyson had THC in his piss. On the other hand, Margarito clearly cheated and Cotto's 'loss' is nothing but an aberration. I would say it was poetic justice when Mosely beat his ass, but the irony of the cheating Mosely elevating his career by beating Marg's ass precludes this.

You're a better man than I am. I try to ignore it but I can't.

I hear ya. At the end of the day you saw you're fighter on his knee & refuse to quit. The fact that you saw the sight will stick to you, that's fair. In light of what we've learned though, I'd look at as hey Cotto stood there n fought a guy who was throwing bricks at him for 10 rounds without backing down - that is heart.
