Hello everyone,
Well, has been a long time now since the Margarito's scandal and I just can't believe the amont of speculation around this case. The media and boxing writers around the globe dont give too much credit to his victory over star boxer Miguel Cotto but this has his interests behind.
For me as an amateur boxing analyst, I have the opinion that his victory over Cotto was legit. Has he KO'd Cotto early in the fight I wouldn't have this opion but what happened is that during that 11 round slug fest both fighters received an unmeasurable amount of punishment and Margarito due to his legendary stamina and granite chin could impose himself over Cotto, the acummulation of punches plus the tireness was too much to overcome for him.
Now to clear up some clouds out there, Mosley is not really the super man he looked why dispatching Margarito that night. People are saying that Margarito without the plaster could not defeat Mosley and they compare the two Margaritos, ending with the conclusion that the first one cheated because how imposing he looked beating Cotto but vulnerable against Mosley.
Something people dont realize is that the possible main reason why Margarito looked so out classed against Mosley has more to do with the revealing consequences of the amont of punishment he also absorbed in his win over Cotto than not using ilegal hand wrap that night.
As for Cotto he has shown flashes of deterioration but to what point he has been damaged that night time soon will tell.
