    i think both Cotto and Margs took alot out of eachother but Margs wasnt active for everybody to take notice.

    Mosley was first, then a rough fight with Garcia and now Manny. soon the world will realize that The Cotto/Margs fight really changed both fighters and not just Miguel

      I have mixed feelings on The Cotto fight, I don't know if Margarito cheated or not. But I do know Margarito has looked like horse-**** since that fight. I also know that it was an idiotic business move to fight Mosley after taking a mild break after The Cotto war. Margarito should have taken a tune-up after being in a war, it was obvious both fighters took lots of punishment in that fight because both of their faces were swollen! Margaritos eyes were swelled shut!

        Nobody ever talks about this. That kind of a fight takes alot out of both fighters. Just look at the first Corrales/Castillo fight. Both men went to war and were never the same after that first fight.

        Whether he cheated or not is up for debate but what isnt is the faces of both men after this fight. Its obviously a career changing kind of battle for both men

          i agree, before Cotto started to wilt he was also giving as good as he got. Margo had the better chin but took a lot of punishment as well.
