Comments Thread For: When Antonio Margarito rocked Miguel Cotto

[IronDanHamza]

Why is it so hard to accept that Margarito was just too big, too much pressure, and too durable in the first fight with Cotto result in him breaking Cotto down? Did anyone actually read the report on what was in his wraps? It was not plaster just "some of the elements that could be used to make plaster". There is no evidence at all that he ever had loaded wraps in any fight.

Not sure you quite understand how it works.

Margarito wasn’t caught with “something that COULD” make plaster he was caught with something that DOES form plaster (with moisture) which is why the substance is illegal to use. Otherwise why the fuck would he have the substance on his wraps in the first place? For fun?

He was banned from boxing for having illegal substances on his handwraps. That isn’t up for debate. You spinning that as there “not being evidence” for having loaded wraps vs Mosley when he was LITERALLY caught with illegal wraps for that fight is laughable.

but why would there be any of that from his wraps or gloves??

Cotto had his number
Wasted too much energy trying to be cute.

Plaster wraps are not allowed for a reason, so it's way important and the sport thought so as well.
I don't recall if a roider ever did any level of damage to their opp.
Shane didn't inflict any harm to DLH.

My initial point was, Margarito landed the shots whether his wraps were loaded or not...maybe that was Cotto's fault? I mean, the punches started landing from round 2 on.

Lmfao "Google is at your fingertips"

The arrogance and you were so wrong and ****** and still don't wanna admit it

There's literal bagged evidence with a blood stain on it.

How do you fail an open book test? Never mind, I know how.

I think Cotto felt he could stand and trade with Margarito

That's literally from after the cotto fight you dumbass. Mosley and his team didn't catch him trying to reuse hand wraps from a previous fight

Don't matter it was widely reported Floyd turned down 8 million for Margarito and instead fought Carlos Baldymir for 8 million and a penny.

In addition Margarito literally stalked Floyd for a fight when you Floyd boys love to crow about everybody ducking him before he was the a side. On video for proof

——-
Stalking a boxer for a shot is common in boxing. Nothing new there. Floyd moved up to 147 in 2006 so you’re telling us that Margacheato showed up to stalk a guy that was coming from 140 Ibs and Floyd is supposed to be like “Ok, I just left Bob but now I’m going to fight his charge”

Yeah, that sounds like how things work out.

[TintaBoricua]

I don’t know, man. Where would I rather be?

$8 million fighting Margarito with a cloud over his career at the time (2006) ?

Or buy out your contract for $750,000 and go on to make somewhere in the neighborhood of half a billion dollars over the next 10-12 years while still fighting the grand majority people were criticizing him for not facing?

Shoot, give me Option B all day. $8 million is peanuts. He bet on himself, and he recouped nearly a hundred fold.

That cheater Margarito doesn't deserve to have an article published with his name in the title, let alone all of this debate about his sorry ass. Forget him, he's a disgrace to himself and the sport.

Although there was no proof of Maragarito cheating vs Cotto in the first fight, I do remember wondering how he was busting up Miguel's face so badly. Cotto himself look bewildered at Antonio's "power".
