Of course shane mosley will say plaster didint matter

Because if it was a factor, it subtracts from his own win, and makes his own loss to cotto look worse.

add the fact that cotto tooks measley's shots well, but plaster was break dancing backwards to the ropes.the guy needed plaster to beat cotto.end of story.dude doesn't get hit with plaster from round one, the ref stops cotto from scrambling plastercheato's brains into dog food.

I liked Mosleys footwork more, but yeah if Margarito did use plaster the story could have been different with Mosley being on the canvas. Mosley is only human after all, if you get punched by plaster it will take effect and slow you down when the rounds go by. Punch-stats had Margarito landing 108 punches against Mosley, I'm sure it would have been more if Margarito was allowed to cheat and who knows how hard those punches would have felt to Mosley if Margarito did cheat.

It may have been a factor in Margarrito beating Cotto.. Certainly wasn't in him beating Margo, he whoops on Marg plaster or none, he just didn't get hit much and his shots were beastly that night.

Margarrito Punch numbers for the 2 fights:

Margarito vs Cotto
Total punches

267 / 987
27%

Margarito vs Mosley
Total Punches
108 / 485
22%

Mosley gameplan was great plaster or no plaster he beats crappy margaritto, Plaster may have been the reason Cotto lost tho i don't know.

plaster does matter if you're defense is suspect.......if you're defense is B-Hop or Floyd Jr. level then it wont matter because these dudes rarely get touched like that!!!.......Pavlik could've worn plaster AND brass knuckles against B-Hop and STILL would've got tooken to the cleaners.......

Lil Cotton didn't take Shane punches well at all..A Mosley right hand in the 10th had him hula-dancing.

Lil Cotton had to sprint to the finish line.

The plaster didn't hurt Clottey.

He didnt even look like he had been in a fight.

Williams was begging for a rematch..the mexican cement didn't cause him to fold.

we know style make fights.that's not the point.the point is it's illegal, detrimental, inconsiderate, classless, and disgusting.iceman john scully's sig says something about boxing being a brotherhood, would he do that to a brother?

this guy doesn't give a **** about anybody's life if he stoops to that level.these are boxers.everyday that they go out there to fight they risk they're lives.this is why i don't knock floyd for wanting to make as much money as he does.it's his life that's in danger, as well as his opponent.this is the kinda dishonorable **** you just don't do.he is scum.

mosley & cotto need to leave Pac alone & fight each other so we can get a lineal champ at 147. Pac needs to fight winner of Fraud jr/JMM. best case in boxing.
