    Don't judge the rest of the fans, but the few uneducated ones.

    Anyways, defend your case.

    Cotto fought 10 straight rounds with a broken nose ... after the first he was pawing at his nose and breathing out his mouth ... those body shots from Margarito didn't make it any better.

    True, but I honestly don't believe Margo hits harder than Mosley :/. The way Mosley's punches were landing as compared to Margo's.... big difference.

    OP's pretty much done the job, not really been much coming back except STFU. I just can't jump to the conclusion of Margarito using bricks against Cotto because there were traces of substances that create plaster in his fight against Mosley. But that's just me.

    Well the only ingredient that was missing was oxygen, I agree that sulfur is found in many things, but sulfur and calcium together... that's a different story.

    Accumulation vs One Off Punching.

    Cotto has a pretty good jaw, we saw Judah bounce a number of shots off his face and he took those. Judah for all of his faults is a pretty decent puncher at the weight.

    Mosley didn't make Cotto work throughout the fight like Margarito did. Mosley and Cotto took turns at pressuring the other guy, where as Margarito made Cotto use a lot of energy throwing shots, attempting to avoid the shots coming back and also moving around the ring as much as he had too.

    Mosley hits as hard, if not harder than any current 147lber - he definitely hits harder than Margarito, but, he never had Cotto as tired as Margarito had Cotto going into the last rounds.

    Plaster or no plaster, Cotto couldn't have hurt Margarito if his life depended on it. Margarito would thrash him in a rematch too.

    That's not what I was getting at, did you see how Cotto's face was?? Judah was getting cleaner punches on Cotto than Margo and his face didn't look anywhere close to that

    Judah was landing straights, Margarito was landing hooks. Glancing punches tend to rip at the skin more than the straights do.

    This is the bottom line. Cotto gave him all he had and it didn't phase Antonio one bit. Obviously a different gameplan would be key.

    I won't count Miguel out in a rematch, but you know that the haunting visions of Margarito eating every punch he threw like a snack is lurking in the back of Cotto's mind.

    Lol xD. But that wasn't the thing that caught my attention. It was the fact that the gauze was used before and had a blood mark the same as the Cotto fight. I'm really not the type to believe in stuff unless there is proof

    Actually they were both landing uppercuts, I could be wrong because it's been awhile since I've watched the fights.
