That was before Margarito was Margarito as well, it's the only loss Martinez would suffer in well over a decade. It's just another fight that displayed his come forward pressure style that not many could handle. Even Williams who beat him was starting to get smashed around the ring in the final rounds.
Margarito owning Cotto... been a decade

Cotto lost because of Margarito's style, same reason why he lost to Pacquiao. Cotto can't take constant pressure, anyone who thinks the handwraps had anything to do with the first loss, then you obviously don't know boxing.
Second fight, Margarito's eye was already ****ed up by Pacquiao, all Cotto needed to do was target it which is what he did and they stopped the fight due to the eye.
It's obvious if you know about boxing and have studied the sport, but I don't expect casual fans to understand that, you can blame the wraps, in the end your going to believe what you want.Comment

He and his team were caught cheating, Cotto never had that kind of controversy and it puts an asterisk on his whole career.
In life reap what you sow, we all know what happened in his next fight
