Margarito's resume after 1st Cotto fight:

[-Huey-]

1. Gets caught with loaded gloves moments before him and Shane Mosley square off, gets re wrapped and goes on to lose by brutal KO and gets a 1 year ban from boxing.

2. Looks terrible against a bum(Roberto Garcia) in Mexico and wins by decision in a lackluster fight.

3. Fights Manny Paquiao in Texas and suffers a broken orbital bone and the worse beating of his life, shutout loss.

4. Gets beat up in every round against Miguel Cotto in their much anticipated rematch, forcing the doctors to stop the fight due to Margarito's right eye. TKO loss.

Did Margarito cheat throughout his entire career? Or was it a one time thing? The truth we may never know. The way his career has gone ain't helping his case.

I think he started if not for the P williams fight, after it.

Notice how throughout Marg's career, he was known as a "slow starter"?

Could it be he was a slow starter, or it just took a few rounds for the plaster to harden?

This is pure speculation, but it just makes you wonder.

He stopped Cintron in 5, he stopped Gomez in 1, 6 heads(faster than what the heavy handed Mayorga did) and Kyvelos in 2 rounds.

[..WaRSpencE..]

I think the boxing world deserves a Margarito-Mayorga match up at 154lbs!

Make it happen!!!!!

For once Mayorga would be the good guy.Never thought id see that happen

Yeah he did stop Cintron in 5, which is right around the time his punches started setting in against Cotto.

Regarding 6 heads, I never really looked at him as a solid fighter; Gomez either.

I'm talking about solid fighters with accomplishments. He really didn't start fighting solid opposition until he fought Clottey/Williams. Granted, he beat Martinez, but martinez wasn't what he is today. He started slowly against both Clottey and Williams. In fact, Clottey was busting him up until he broke his hand. Williams was busting him up until late in the fight.

I can't remember if he busted his nose or not in the 2nd round during the first fight. But he didn't actually "hurt" Cotto until later on in the fight. This is what I was basing my assessment off of. Throughout Marg's career, he actually didn't start hurting guys (good oponents) until around the 6th round or so.

I would root for Mayorga if the fight actually happened. The press conferences would be hilarious! I can see Mayorga slamming Margarito for getting caught with loaded gloves.
