If Cotto sued Margo and Capetillo, we would know the truth

[Phil Ivey]

You get caught lying on a court there's contempt of court and perjury.
It's not an Ellie Seckbach interview in Oxnard.

Regarding evidence, so much **** has been said about this, that a good lawyer might be able to turn past talk into admisible evidence on a good deposition. And evidence for this kind of cases is not limited to "here's the murder weapon, it has been carefully guarded by the police" and such. It really is "bring me everything you got". Testimony, hard evidence, expert opinions, etc.

Cotto should have tried that approach, IMHO.

Yeah but how would they possibly prove if either were in on it, it's just Cap's word against Margs, court's not going to bend over backwards trying to get them on perjury, this ain't Lance Armstrong. Don't think the lawsuit would be effective or efficient at all, it'll get thrown out on some technicality - remember the commission stated that they believed Marg knew nothing, so basically they're saying there was no way in proving it. A lawsuit would just add unnecessary pressure on Cotto, with a highly likelihood with it being withdrawn or thrown out. He'd have to prove that Margarito had the intent behind the wraps.

Lol someones a law student, or an aspiring law student...

With regard to tort law, I figure the most that Margarito could be charged with if he can prove that he didn't know about the glove tampering is some form of Negligence. At which point I guess they would award damages to Cotto, and possibly recommend that the NSAC strip Marg's of his license.

Still it would've really gotten to the bottom of it all... But isn't there some sort of "within reasonable time of damages to the plaintiffs person" bs or something that could mix things up?

lol won't comment

I don't know about Nevada law. But there is usually a loophole that says something like "from the time you know you were damaged". It is used a lot, specially in cases of medical malpractice. You realize you've had a gauze in your orbital bone for 10 years, well time starts running for a lawsuit when you realize you had the gauze in there.

I'm just saying all of this because I think it would have been more effective than mouthing off at the Face Off or at the Press Conference.

cotto fights his battels in the ring not a court room........

Margarito has arums money behind him, he's protected.

Only dumbass Cotto fans think its possible to get away with having loaded gloves in a fight. There are sooooo many precautions taken its impossible today especially a HUGE main event where you have about a dozen people looking at you getting wrapped and putting your gloves on.

Ummm the burdan of proof is on the plantiff meaning they have to proof you tampered with it. But since the wraps where thrown in the garbage there is no evidence
