Using loaded wraps/gloves could arguably be viewed as assault and it arguably derailed his career costing him millions of future earnings.
Because It was never proven that Margarito used loaded wraps/gloves vs Cotto that's why. You can't sue someone with no real evidence.
Brother it’s nonsense if you’ve seen the kind of oversight that goes into those big events. That is unless the Illuminati commission wanted to for some reason hurt Cotto?
Didn’t the California commission cite real evidence in the Mosley situation? That would almost certainly be admissible in court. ‘Evidence’ doesn’t mean ‘an item which is iron-clad proof’ and the standard in a civil suit is a ‘preponderance of evidence,’ not ‘beyond a reasonable doubt,’ which is the standard in criminal cases. If they didn’t maintain it with a chain of custody, it might be harder to win a lawsuit but not impossible with testimony from witnesses. I think had Cotto wanted to press it, he could have made a case that a jury would have to have some lively debates about before rendering a verdict. And if Margarito didn’t spend the money on his side to prepare a case to counter that case, it probably goes Cotto’s way. The thing about a lawsuit like that is you are probably paying an attorney big bucks, and an investigator. You’re going to be distracted from training while doing depositions and such. And if you win, they appeal. And if you win they appeal, they appeal again. (And even if you win, the appeal can lower the judgment — or they can kick it back to the lower court over some technicality and you have to start over again with a new original trial.) And even if you win all the appeals, the state court has only so much reach in making it possible for you to collect on the judgment. It’s not like the judge bangs his gavel and the money appears in your bank account. Margarito was U.S. born but a resident of Mexico, which puts his assets (aside from purses collected in the U.S.) out of the reach of the courts to seize. They’re not going to send a National Guard unit to his house in Mexico to raid it, lol. If such a judgment had been rendered AND the appeals were done before the end of his career, Margarito probably would have just avoided fighting in the U.S. to keep his purses out of reach. But he was guilty as hell: his trainer admitted to ‘accidentally’ using the ‘wrong inserts’ when wrapping his hands for Mosley. Antonio was like ‘I have no idea what was in my hand wraps,’ which is, frankly, impossible from my experience wrapping hundreds of hands. And the red stains left by the ‘wrong inserts’ in the Mosley fight were the same as left in his wraps for Cotto … there is literally nothing legal anyone can use in wrapping hands that leaves red stains — we’re talking gauze and tape … that’s it. To me, Margarito is the Luis Resto of his generation.
It's still speculation there's no real evidence that Margarito used illegal handwraps vs Cotto so I don't see how he could sue him. Regardless of whether Margarito did or didn't use illegal hardwraps vs Cotto. I think Cotto settled it the best way he could winning the rematch comprehensively and basically ending Margarito's career in notable fights. But I do have real doubts on how legit Margarito was considering he never had another stoppage win after the Mosley controversy and that is very suspect.
