I just dont understand how a undefeated champion didn't seek legal consulting on taking Margarito to civil court. That man took his zero and could had left permanent damage to him. There was beyond reasonable evidence that Margarito cheated. After the Mosley lost Margarito never achieve anything meaningful and theirs a statement from the state investigator that those wraps was used before. In civil court you can call witness and even ask for lie detector test. Now court in America isnt cheap but I just think his handlers probably just wanted to get money for a rematch rather then go to court but my thing is. Taking someone to court is more than just money. It sets a tone for people and future people you will be held accountable for things that you do that are wrong.
I had to go to civil court for damages I found I found 5 months after I brought a property. It was water damage. I gather paperwork, witness statement and expert opinions. For prior damages. Now court isnt cheap. Now the lawyer stated it would cost more to try to case then what I would actually win. Now cotto's team probably felt the same but if he did do it. It would stop alot of future boxers for cheating in the future if they knew they would be taken to court. We keep seeing boxers tearing postive and etc with no repercussions but if they get that court slip in the mail they would start to think differently trying to cheat.
I don’t disagree at all. I would have gone to court as well no matter how much it cost.
Here’s the thing though, Cotto is one of the very few boxers who has never been disrespectful to anyone. No drama, no trash talking and lives a very simple life in his hometown.
Has never complained about a loss. When asked about Margarito, his response was very simple - “Only Margarito knows the truth”.
So, my speculation is, Cotto just moved on and didn’t want to get into a legal tussle. He got his win in the rematch and that’s all that mattered to him.
