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

[PrettyBoy22]

If Cotto wants to put the record straight, beat Clottey next weekend and re-match with Margarito. If he doesn't, this **** will go on forever.

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.

Hey Holyfield nice to see you again today, how goes the battle, getting pounded on again today I bet. Time to point out your dumb post of the day yet again.

It was ****m Richardson that brought everything to light you toolbox. Clearly it got through the State officials, so if they didn't catch it this time what makes you think they would catch it previous times????? If it wasn't for Naz none of this would have even come up. Another unbelievably ****** post by the worst poster on NSB.

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.

Marg isnt world class without wraps, nor with them if you ask me. But they did make him significantly more effective.

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.

So if I were to assault you with a hammer, and you asked me to stop, does that make you a quitter?

^^^^^^^

I know the logic is a little twisted, but there are rules for a reason. And, if you break the rules it affects the outcome, it's really that simple from my perspective.

I think you misunderstood what he said.

If we're in a hammer fight, yes.

[Drunken Cat]

You're right, I guess I didn't read the full post.

[Drunken Cat]

If we're in a hammer fight, yes.

Yeah I misread you man, sorry. As I said above, the logic was a bit twisted, but I was really trying to draw an analogy to indicate that Margarito literally assaulted Cotto if one assumes he had loaded gloves.

Anyways, I take back the post man.

[Patheticfraud?]

Those lads and the PR's here are just arsehurt fanboys with no proof whatsoever, so no we will not move on and no Margarito will not **** off. He will be back to make quitto give up on his knees again.

There's proof that he used it in the Mosley fight. That is enough to make it a strong possibility he used it in the Cotto fight . Either way it will always be a question mark and a legitimate excuse. I'm not a big Cotto fan.
