Illegal wraps or not Cotto lost to Margarito because his corner had the wrong fight plan for him. The world knows that the way to beat Margarito is to make him go backwards, he can't fight going back, he only knows to seek and destroy coming forward.
Evangelista and the rest of Cotto's corner for some reason viewed Margarito as this monster that couldn't be KO'd so they designed a flight plan that had Cotto boxing, moving and on his backfoot all night. When they should have let Cotto take the fight to Margarito and let Cotto be the one bullying Margarito to the ropes.
Cotto has much bigger shoulders and back than Mosley so there is no doubt that he could have push Margarito back all night long like Mosley was doing, his corner failed him.
Props to Nazim Richardson for coming up with the right game plan!!!
