    but Tony was one eyed, so Cotto took advantage, it's that simple
    we saw what happened when they were both fresh, ownage by Tony
    Pac beat Cotto's career away too, but at least he didn't blind him
    Cotto was straight up serendipitous there, Pac beat Tony for him
    The eye didn't close until when the round before the fight was stopped. Cotto won every round with a different tactic.

      The illegal knuckle pad in the handwraps thing, he could be innocent (even though it's hard to believe he didn't know), but he made fun of Freddie Roach's Parkinson syndrome so no I don't feel sorry for him.

        the eye was bothering him from the opening bell
        Tony's style doesn't ride with a problem like that
        just fine if Cotto had done it all on his own, couldn't deny him props
        but he didn't, Pac did it for him
        had Tony not entered the fight with a residual damage, it's different
        that wasn't the case; Pac dug the grave, Cotto just put in the dirt

          i don't feel sorry for him b/c he had no explanation for why ingredients for plaster were in his gloves and laid it on his trainer who got banned.

          plus he became infamous and made good money from the pacquiao and cotto fight even though he could've been banned himself. It all worked out pretty good for him

              It was also always suspected that Margacheato broke a guy (I forget his name but he was a pretty good prospect at one time) he was sparring withs orbital bone with loaded hand wraps too.

                Seemed to me like he was expressing mock fear in response to being told that Roach stated that Pacquiao was going to knock him out. The trembling hands were nowhere near as blatant as Rios' stuttering and shaking of the head.

                    Tony woulda killed him again if his face didn't fall apart
                    Cotto doesn't deserve to have that "win" on his resume
                    he was punked thoroughly and cleanly by Tony the 1st time
                    that Mosley controversy gave Cotto an excuse to milk
                    Tony still owns him, the rematch was a mirage
                    Leave the Cotto clan in their wee bubble, where they pretend that Cotto 'retired' Margarito.

                      Yep pretty much.
