    using logic....why would margs put a whooping on cotto like that...then decide he needed to start using illegal wraps?

    cottos says "i choose to think he had a good night"...after basically bashing margs

    me thinks he was just choosing to play nice and help bob arum and top rank

    No way could you do that without proof and there is no proof.

    Suspicion and doubt will loom over all margo's victories and rightfully so he caused it himself by cheating but Cotto lost. Loaded hand wraps or not. He still had an opportunity to win the fight but chose not to clinch, not to go to the body, and not to sit on his punches. Loaded gloves wouldn't have made the difference against mosely and it shouldn't have been in the Cotto fight. He has the skill set to perform against margo the same way mosely did but he fought the wrong fight.

    He was proven to cheat once. It's not due process if you pick and choose who it applies to and who it doesn't. Just because he was caught once does not mean he was fighting dirty before. Does it make it more likely than with any other fighter? Oh, absolutely. But that's all it does though. All it does is cast a shadow of speculation over his career that will likely never be proven.

    No way man. Without proof of any wrong doing you can't reverse a decision. Evangelista was there and said that he didn't notice anything shady in the wraps. Even if you suspect that there was wrong doing, that's all it is, a suspicion
