    How many of these threads are we going to have to endure ?

    You could have given us the Readers' Digest Version !!!

    Cotto was fighting Clottey with one eye from the 3rd round on.

    Clottey gave Margie a hell of a fight for 12 full rounds...

    Now, if that would have been Jennings rather than Clottey you might have
    a point.
    But you don't because Cotto starched him mid fight.

    Put your microscope away for now and lets see what happens in the Pacquiao fight !!!!

    His hands were already wrapped and he almost got away with it. Mosley's camp are the ones who questioned them.

    Exactly what I am saying, I am not saying that Maragrito didnt do nothing what i am saying if you would follow the thread rather then throw some random post out there is, that the Mosley fight I beleive is the 1st attempt at doing this.

    Read exactly what you highlighted, I said in Vegas........

    While we're discussing logic, how about the fact that Margo's trainer slipped the illegal subtance inside old handwraps. In Vegas, they provide the gauze for you which would make the tactic impossible to pull off. Also, did you know that the Nevada Commissioner cleared Margo of any wrongdoing in the Cotto fight, and said that he was sure as he can be that he did nothing wrong? Here is some more logic for you, Mosley is bigger and has a much better chin than Cotto. Now which fighter would Margo be more likely to try to increase his power against; the smaller more fragile fighter or the bigger more strudy fighter? Let's also not forget about the alleged weight problems that Margo was experiencing as well going into the Mosley fight.

    Ironically, I'm going to go ahead and say that your logic is completely faulty. Not only would it make more sense to cheat against Mosley, but the chances that they tried this stunt numerous times in the past are slim. Any due dillegence by either the Athletic commission or the opposing corner, and Margo gets caught fairly easily.

    I was pointing out that he would have gotten away with it if Mosley's camp didn't question it. The commissioners didn't catch ****.

    The Mosley fight happened in Cali, not Vegas.

    Microscopes have allowed me to accurately predict the way a fight was going to go up till now. Sure cotto wasnt going to blow clottey away but he also wasnt supposed to be getting hit with 4-5 punch comobs even with one eye.

    The cut definately affected his performance. I can't wait untill Cotto silences the critics when he beats Manny.

    When he wins, they'll just say it was because he was too big for Pac, and Pac should't have trained in the Philippines, and that he shouldn't have fought a flyweight, and that he ... , and that he ... , and that he .....:tired

    I do believe that it messed with Cotto mentally. But we can't tell yet. Jennings was a tune up, and Clottey is a tough guy.
