Margarito was exposed by Mosley and caught using plaster of paris.
Oscar has never fought at that weight in how many years. He was training to lose weight and not how to fight. Watch the build up again. Roach said he knew he had when he saw him using IV to hydrate. By the 4th round Oscar was basically a zombie.
Cotto was coming off a beat down from Clottey, despite getting the nod. He had a huge cut over his eyes and wanted more time to heal and also to find a trainer and Arum said no. Cotto had to train himself for that fight.
Doesn't change the fact that he was a zombie in the ring.
Nah, his resume is an illusion.
Oscar was the one who made asked for the fight to be made at 147. 3lbs below his previous fight. Oscar called the shots.
While Manny was fighting at 130 earlier that year. Huge advantage for Manny?
Oscar's team said after the fight that a southpaw similar to Manny was giving Oscar trouble in sparring but they then intentionally removed him (from sparring with Oscar). That is what gave Oscar trouble. Manny's style and speed. It was just too much for Oscar that night.

Cotto was a WW who had weighed in at 146 in his previous fight and laughed at those who brought up that it might be difficult to make weight. Manny had fought at 140 and was fighting his first true WW fighter.
BTW - Remember that before the fight, people such as Roger Mayweather were calling it a disgrace of a fight because he thought that Oscar would demolish Manny.
What are you talking about? That is a very good resume right there!!!!
