    in my honest opinion i think cotto fought the wrong fight and margo fought the fight of his life that night


    yeah Cotto fought the wrong fight for sure. I have to wonder if Margarito's extra power had something to do with that. It is interesting to note that Margarito was able to exert that aggressive advantage over many of his opponents who seemed to not want to be hit by him after feeling his power. Watch his old fights his opponents seem to cringe away from his punches especially as the fights progress. I find that strange especially now that all the wraps and pads have surfaced. So Cotto fought the wrong fight and Margarito is still a speculative cheat. This has been done so many times. At the end of the day Margarito should not be fighting, and all his fights are now under su****ion.
