Boxing Myths - The Truth

[Canelo and GGG]

Great point.

I always wondered why Robinson didn't pursue a rematch. Does anyone know?

No,but Maxim was heavier and stayed on his feet.

so im wondering, does anyone want any boxing myths squashed?

No,but Maxim was heavier and stayed on his feet.

True, but he lost almost every round of the fight, iirc. Doesn't take much work to lose every round.

Sugar Ray Robinson was a very active and fluid mover in the ring; Not to mention he was the fighter moving up in weight for this fight.

The Myth: Margarito had loaded hand wraps vs Cotto. The Truth: Never proven, Cotto is a whiney cuck.

Yep, Robinson looked very good for at least 7 rounds but after that you could see him visibly tiring and Maxims natural size at the weight certainly helped.

The Myth: Margarito had loaded hand wraps vs Cotto. The Truth: Never proven, Cotto is a whiney cuck.

Agree. I've mentioned long arse explanations in the other thread so I won't do that again. Bottom line, Cotto was psychologically and emotionally beaten long before he was physically beaten.

First off, Margarito didn't get banned after the Cotto fight.

Secondly, Margarito got banned even before the lab results were released to the commission, entirely on the basis that some people had felt the gauze and it felt harder to them. That is called circumstantial evidence and would not hold up in court.

a) a cotto/wraps connection was made. since it was.....
b) many a criminal get life sentences for circumstantial evidence.

Proof?

b - yeah and thats why on appeals they often get left off but the Marg/Mosley circumstantial evidence was literally 3 or 4 guys saying the gauze felt harder than normal
