Does anybody think Mosley softened Cotto up for Margarito?

      I do. The reason why I am making this thread is because I sometimes hear from the really loyal Cotto fans that Cotto softened Margarito up for Mosley. Well, you can apply that logic just the way I layed it out as well. Mosley landed nearly 60% of his power shots on Cotto and in my view, layed out the blue print of how to beat him. Pressure, pressure, and more pressure. The rounds that Cotto won against Mosley other than the 11th were the ones of where he was being aggressive and taking the fight to Mosley in the early part of the fight. Margarito probably watched the Mosley-Cotto fight and saw that Cotto fatigued at the end, and followed the script. This is one reason why I am skeptical of plaster being used in that fight.

      Another thing too is that Mosley would stand a way better chance of beating Mayweather because his stamina is a lot better than Cotto's. His mouth sometimes appears to be open in between rounds, but I don't think I've ever seen Mosley in a fight of where he didn't close out the late rounds strong. Cotto has always gassed in the late rounds against the best fighters he fought in Mosley, Margarito, and Clottey. If Cotto beats Pacquiao, it won't change my view on who the most dangerous fight for Floyd is.
      I don't think so but let's say he did.......you could say the same thing about Margarito in his war with Cintron on their 2nd fight.

          Margarito obviously took some punishing shots against Cintron too even though he dominated the fight.
