Even though this subject has been beaten to death in this forum, and nobody has ever proven the master of plaster DIDN'T use loaded gloves again Cotto, he is, for the betterment of the sport, rightly banned from boxing in the USA, hopefully forever, because a boxer with loaded gloves is equivalant to using a deadly weapon.
And before anybody says it, I'm not claiming he did cheat, just that it's my opinion that he did.
I can say this because he got caught trying to cheat, and got his no good ass banned by the NSAC for attempting to cheat. If he didn't get caught, he would have cheated.
He broke Cotto's nose in the 2nd round? And look how messed up Cotto's face was. How often does that happen in boxing?? To ANY fighter? No wonder Shane beat the **** out of him. I bet he was pissed.
But as i have stated before, i think Cotto can look back in retrospect and say to himself, "****, I lasted 11 rounds with a bigger guy with loaded gloves- "again-(maybe in Cotto mind )-knows if the gloves felt natural or not". He came back and toyed with Jenning for a tune-up to get back into his groove before sending him to the canvas, and Clottey cut him bad, he didn't take a knee there did he?
No, he could have stopped the fight and won on the scorecards in part of the 1st round knockdown, (with a freakin' jab), and went the distance and won that fight, though in some peoples mind he didn't.
No..he went the distance with him and beat him. And not many people want anything to do with Clottey. He's about as tough as they come. And he won that fight basically with one eye. He can add this to his arsenol of confidence. I don't know about you, but i know i'd be feeling pretty ***ing confident after all he's been through.
He's battle hardened now, tried, true and a proven warrior. He got rewarded with a chance to wipe clean the controvery of his clouded past, and once and for all, put that ghost of a proven banned cheater behind him. Him and his cohort Capitello...consider this...cheato claims he knew nothing of the loading of his gloves...if this is true, why is he still associating himself with that scumbag? Reminiscent of Resto-Lewis....Assault in the Ring.
I guess we will see what he's really made of, cuz if anybody can bring out the best in Cotto, it's Manny, the tasmanian devil, with a killer instinct, blazing fast hands with good power behind them. He's whiley, highly mobile and elusive and smart, and he's got the best team going.
And now, with much thanks to Manny, Cotto stands in the doorway of greatness, rewarded with the fight and payday of a lifetime, while cheato slinks away in shame, probably trying to find work as drywall apprentice.
Life is the great equalizer...isn't it?
