why is margarito cheating against cotto theory widely accepted? proof?

[North Star]

What clear evidence? There was literally nothing found in the Cotto fight. Perhaps you're talking about the Mosley fight? The one where they claimed to have found a compound substance that only IF combined with another substance could form "plaster like" casting?

If he was literally caught with PLASTER or "BRICKS" in his gloves like PR fanboys like to claim, he would have been BANNED FOR LIFE and possibly face jail time idiots. Sometimes I wonder if Cotto fans are capable of being objective....I'm a Cotto fan but sometimes I feel it's getting real hard to admit it.

That's if he was found after the fight. Since it was before the fight, he didn't have the chance to use them as a weapon, hence the lighter punishment.

The guy absolutely destroyed any legacy he had.

Legacy? What legacy? His career revolves around beating Cotto, and thats it. Dude is one of the most overrated boxers in history and doesn't even contain a prime run on his resume.

My thing is, how do you load up your gloves for "only" Mosley but not load up your gloves for the biggest fight of your career against a prime undefeated Cotto? Makes zero sense. Him and his team are cowards for trying to cheat, plane and simple.

2. im looking at the evidence, do u think the 'well he cheated this time so he must has cheated before' argument would hold up in court? it makes it more questionable no doubt but u cant convict someone based on this

This isn't a court.

i was watching a hbo vid of max/bhop/jim discussing cotto re-emergence, max said cotto was cheated out of his prime by margarito because of plaster paris. i just dont understand how u can say this on national tv without any proof. cotto simply couldnt handle his pressure and stamina.

in relation to the plaster theory if margarito had used plaster paris against cotto then why the hell did he take his glvoes off in the ring? when people were shaking his hand wouldnt they have felt something unusual?

furthermore, cotto face doesnt show signs of plaster damage. compare his face to a real victim of plaster and u can see massive difference




so has anyone on here got any evidence that margarito used plaster paris

update. the ''crack'' in margarito wrap that cotto pointed out on hbo faceoff turns out to be piece of string lol

The better question is why are so many people still talking as if these pictures don't show something amiss? And also, these threads on this subject have been done one hundred times over

Listen guy, you don't get a 1-year suspension for loading your gloves with "plaster" or "bricks". You get a lifetime ban/suspension.

Marg got 1 year because it wasn't even plaster to begin with, it was some trace elements that need other elements combined to make a plaster-like substance. As mentioned earlier, those "elements" can be found in anything, even hand lotion.

Mosley is a tougher, more resilient fighter than Cotto. Better chin and a worse style for Margarito.

Margarito didnt even want the Mosley fight. He hadnt fully recovered from the Cotto fight and was badly out of shape.

His team were also using faulty scales which showed him being 2lbs over the weight. He weighed in 145 for Mosley. Look at the difference between how he looked at the Cotto weigh in where he was a full 147 and healthy.

They had a terrible camp and that could have lead to Capetillo or Margarito himself or both thinking they needed extra help against Mosley.

[Mr.Fantastic]

He hes no top wins.

Thought so. Let me give you a simple fact.

Did you know Margarito fought and beat Clottey and Martinez before Cotto?

Your shit has been debunked. Cotto fought Margarito's leftovers. Damn I bet that makes you feel even more angry doesn't it?

[fvanesbeck]

Every fight likely had a different commissioner and certainly had a different opponent. You can't fool all the people all the time. Maybe what was in Margarito's gloves wasn't as substantial as Cotto fans make it out to be, explaining why the commissioner wasn't su****ious?

Exactly and they didn't fool Naazim Richardson. If Margarito used the wraps before Mosley it's very possible the commissioner missed it too. I don't think anyone's saying he's been using plaster since his first pro fight but there's a very strong case that he used it against Cotto and possibly before.
