"Margarito used loaded gloves vs Cotto" has to take the cake as the most insane myth in the history of sports. I just watched a clip of Jim Lampley on Joe Rogan podcast talking about it like it was an undisputed concrete fact.
You literally can not find even a single soul in the universe accusing Margarito of loading gloves or plaster or anything suspi cious related to gloves or wraps or any equipment what so ever. Not Cotto or anyone associated with Cotto, no one in the commission, no one involved in the promotion or HBO. Not a news article, not a video, not a message board post, not a tweet, not even a youtube comment.... NOTHING. Zero suspi cion what so ever
Then he next fight he gets caught attempting to use loaded gloves vs Mosley and people create this fantastical completely retroactive fairytale about him using loaded gloves against Cotto.
Let's breakdown how Margarito got caught attempting to use loaded gloves vs Mosley. He literally got caught during the first possible procedure. There are multiple procedures before during and after the fight in which loaded gloves would get caught. But somehow people believe Naz im Richardson was the most diligent person in the world and only he could catch it. To believe he got away with using loaded gloves in a fight without getting caught requires the ref and commission all to have conspired with each other on behalf of Margarito and lie at multiple points before during and after the match
Reminder there has never been any investigation what so ever(nor has Cotto ever requested or even mentioned wanting one... hmmm I wonder why) in to Margarito using loaded gloves vs Cotto or in any other actual boxing match. Only his attempt vs Mosley.
Literally the only evidence that anyone had ever even tried to come up with for him using loaded gloves was a picture of Margarito after the fight with some red dye on his wraps(obviously from the red gloves). I guess trying to insinuate that his knuckles are bloody from the plaster lol.
Also to believe Margarito was using loaded gloves means you must believe guys like Clottey and Paul Williams have faces and arms and torsos made of steal because how were they not cut getting hit with plaster? Why is there zero talk about there superhumanly durable skin?
So in closing can we please give up this silly myth in 2025. What is easier to believe?
‐ Commisions and refs from several states and countries all pulled off a massive cover up lasting years and years.
- Joshua Clottey and dozens of other opponents have superhuman skin.
- Naz im Richardson has xray plaster vision.
- That Margarito and his trainers are such masterful cheaters that he pulled it all off with zero susp icion from any opponent then suddenly get caught right away.
Or
that Cotto just got his ass kicked.
