People are always saying Margarito made Cotto damaged goods but after finding this on Doug Fisher mail bag is safe to say Cotto probably damaged him more than he damaged Cotto. Cotto did hit him with some brutal combinations in that fight and it probably took what he had left out of him.
During his camp for Shane Mosley he was getting his ass kicked on a daily basis by a novice junior welterweight and a young journeymen. These kids (Said El-Harrak and Henry Mitchell) weren’t just outboxing Margarito. They were slapping the s__t out of him. I’d seen Margarito go toe-to-toe with strong middleweights in the gym for years and he usually got the better of the bigger men. But, suddenly, he was no longer able to stand his ground and take the punishment he once did.
