Comments Thread For: When Antonio Margarito rocked Miguel Cotto

[Oregonian]

Paquiao beat Margarito in the cotto vs Margarito rematch not cotto… had manny not helped migey, it looked as Toni was about to do what he did in the first fight vs cotto.

Let’s not leave out CONTEXT. There was a catchweight of 150 Ibs which is PAC’s specialty - to weaken opponents so he could look spectacular. He did that to Oscar, Cotto, Marquez and even Algieri.

Margacheato was already dead man walking AFTER being destroyed by Mosley so Mosley is the one that helped Manny. And then the catchweight for a vacant title which gave PAC yet another dubious divisional title.

Dan. We are good fam. We got to the same answer. Its ok.

Civil court in America can overturn boxing outcomes. You admitted you are not american so you wouldnt understand how legal court works here he does have a case base on preponderance of the evidence. Which you already publicly answered. Cotto would have enough evidence to fight it but of course it would more costly and probably also hurt his career. He probably made more money in the rematch and his future fights than over turning the decision. But I respect Haney for taking it to that level when he was done dirty.

Rarely do boxing records get overturned. It happens but very rare.

Nope, just the opposite. Reread my post.

Those were your words.

What exactly am I supposed to “reread”?

When Antonio Margarito rocked Miguel Cotto in 2008, it was a brutal shift in momentum. instagram pro Cotto, who had controlled much of the fight, was overwhelmed by Margarito’s relentless pressure and punishing shots. Bloodied and exhausted, Cotto took a knee, leading to a dramatic stoppage and one of boxing’s most controversial outcomes.

The point here is Margacheato was supposed to the boogeyman at 147 and was “feared” by everyone. After he got DESTROYED by Mosley, he never won another fight. Against any elite fighter.

This is why I believe he was always a DIRTY fight. Kermit Cintron also stated that Margacheato’s punches hit like a ton of bricks YET they stopped hurting after he got exposed.

I don’t disagree with that and once you cheat there’s an asterisk above all of your previous wins.

But that still doesn’t change the fact that fighters can’t then go back and request their bouts to be changed to no contests. It’s not how it works.

You have to understand Oregonian's agenda here: he's a May-Pac obsessive who chose to 'support' May by passively watching him on a screen and continues the tribal war because it allows him to feel something.

Nah, not like that. Cotto's face looked like he was being hit with, I don't know, plaster of Paris-enforced wraps?

Oh so it couldn't possibly be the he fought wrong and decided to trade with the wrong guy

Wow, I'm going to have to break it down? Ok, while there was proof of Margarito's intent to cheat for the Mosely fight, he hadn't been caught for the Cotto fight. HOWEVER, the tremendous damage that Antonio inflicted on Miguel's face and his look of bewilderment at Margarito's unusual "power", lends itself to suspect loaded wraps were used for that fight too. I hope that clears things up.

Yeah, he traded with the wrong guy who got caught trying to use loaded wraps in his next fight. Given that FACT, are we to somehow believe that Margarito did not use loaded wraps in his first fight vs Cotto? Interestingly, Antonio's KO streak ended for the rest of his career after getting busted.

I am in different to that, however, I will just ask, how is it that a decision can be overturned when a fighter fails a drug test? Most recent example was Haney vs Ryan. I get that Cotto’s loss was over a year prior hence status quo remains.
