Larry Merchant: Margarito had loaded gloves so I give Cotto a pass for that loss

[boxingsmash69]

I don't know really, shouldn't be a free pass, Cotto was throwing and hitting big shots up untill the 11th when it got stopped. Wraps or no Wraps he fought terrible was getting hit alot by slow Marg, didn't go to the body and his power wasn't hurting. So no i wouldn't give him a free pass (wrap or no wrap) considering he pretty much fufilled the blueprint of how to lose to a pressure fighter like margo.

There is a question over it but he fought really badly he would probably agree if you ask him.

assuming marg loaded his gloves, its probably easier to wear out/break down your opponent when you have loaded gloves. if he didn't load his gloves, Cotto would have probably won a clear UD.

we will never know if marg cheated that night.

Unless he faces Cotto and Mosley he will have an asteric too.

You should have came at me with that right away, that way I wouldn't have wasted 5 posts on someone that's been watching boxing since 2007.

I can do better. I can show you pictures of Cotto fighting people who Floyd will never get in the ring with.

Anyone with 1/2 brain knows that Cotto's loss has an asterisk next to it. How different the fight would have been is a whole other matter, but at the end of the day if anyone is naive enough to think marg cheated vs. mosley only, when he was a 3-1 favourite & not cheat vs. Cotto when he was a heavy underdog...well really ive got nothing to say. ill just smile n shake my head.
