If Cotto fought Tony the 1st time like he did the 2nd time, he would have won..

[Mr. Invincible]

Excuse? You telling me that after all his fights (47)
he decided to use plaster against Mosley only, please
a criminal will always be a criminal...you and the rest
of the Margarito public defenders are in denial...
he got caught with the murder weapon, so all his wins are suspect
Revenge was sweet

^ This and whoever disputes it is delusional. Cotto showed proof and Margarito has 100% not been the same since the first fight he wasn't allowed to wear plaster. That's more than enough evidence for me put on top of the way Cotto's face looked in that fight.

[El Angel]

That's true, but how is saying he used loaded gloves an excuse? If they were loaded, they were loaded, doesn't matter how Cotto fought him, they were loaded and that's cheating. I'm not saying they were or weren't, beause I have zero proof either way.

[Hyper Knuckles]

It still would've been tooth and nail. Margarito's right eye will have swollen over the course of 12 rounds and Cotto imo gets a close UD. I don't think he'd have been battered like the 1st, just a fun back and forth fight.

[JOM'S]

We dont know if Tony had loaded gloves or not..
But if Cotto turned, stayed off the ropes and clinched like he did in the rematch he would have hung on for a decision imo..

So stop using loaded gloves as an excuse..

They are tied 1-1 as far as Im concerned..

this is somewhat agreeable as even before the second fight I sae cotto having more upside than margarito...

but we can only imagine the extent of the damage of a loaded glove in an actual fight...

[Mr. Fantastic]

Cotto stans crack me up.

[GoogleMe]

I actually think Margarito would've beaten Cotto anyway.

[Jack Napier]

2nd fight didn't prove a goddamn thing
Tony's face just fell apart
Cotto gets some props, but that fight was inconclusive
neither guy was quite what they were in 08 in the rematch
Tony won the 1st fight fair and square, get over it

[Jack Napier]

So Margarito just decided to use plaster for Mosley only? That was his first time ever using it?

exactly
he got to the top by beating Cotto
he liked being on top and was desperate to stay there
Tony had like 40 pro fights prior to Mosley
we're to believe that whole time he cheated w/out getting caught?
we're to believe that whole time he was killing people with plaster?
that's fucking ridiculous

You said,
"he liked being on top and was desperate to stay there"
that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, you don't even
believe that yourself.
You're saying he was more worried about Mosley who was previously
beaten by Cotto...doesn't make sense, when Margarito beat
Cintron he said,"I can't feel my face,I felt like I was getting hit with rocks"
I know Margarito doesn't hit that hard...to prove it to you:
Mosley vs Margarito
Pacquiao vs Margarito
Cotto vs Margarito

what's so hard to believe about it?
didn't say he was more worried about Mosley
he was worried about protecting his newfound status
he woulda loaded up after that no matter who it was, not just Mosley
Cotto fans gotta stop crying about this shit
Tony became a star with the Cotto fight
if he had to cheat to stay there, he was willing
how good do you think Cotto is? :laugh:
the guy is ok, he's not great at all
he got his ass kicked by a man he couldn't hurt
just let it go, he got a win in the rematch
