Comments Thread For: When Antonio Margarito rocked Miguel Cotto

[Oregonian]

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.

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

Thanks for giving information i already know.

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.

My apologies man! I was so fixated on the “there was no proof of Margarito’s intent to cheat” line that I just didn’t see you were referring to the Cotto fight.

You are correct. We are all working on the assumption of once a cheat, always a cheat philosophy.

See, it’s not just the cheating part but the way Margacheato mocked Freddie Roach’s Parkinson’s condition makes him a de****able human piece of trash so I just choose to believe that he’s always been a cheat.

[MalevolentBite]

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.

Finally. Thats basically what I said. Its basically a voided record and thats what other leagues do. And thats why Margarito never beaten another elite figher after cotto. An asterisk near a win is basically a No contest at that point.

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

You really had to resort to lying. How pathetic.

The evidence is literally dated February 9, 2009. About 2 weeks after the Mosley fight.

You're a loser. Straight up.

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.

Because Garcia tested positive for that fight, that’s why.

No one of his fights prior to that were overturned and couldn’t be. Same as Cotto and Margarito.

But you asked why Cotto hasn’t requested his fight with Margarito be changed to a no contest.

That’s a stupid question.

I remember seeing Cotto's face swollen as never seen before when he took the knee vs Margarito and thought, damn, nobody bust Cotto's face up like that. Then Cotto faced Pacquiao and although Cotto was busted badly, his face did not swell in the same manner. Then the Margarito results come out vs Mosley and you look back at how Cotto's face swelled up and you can kind of put the two together. It wasn't just swelling from the usual punches a fighter takes but with a foreign assist.

You can look up the Bill Collins Jr. or whatever his name was whose face got swollen up from Luis Resto. There are some similarities in how their faces ended up following their bouts vs loaded gloves.

Well not really You obviously didn’t know because that’s why you asked that stupid question.

I guess now you do now.

I tend to agree it seems very likely Margarito was loaded for the first Cotto fight but absent a confession we will never know.
