    Cotto comments on Margarito!

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+1]
    "He should never step into a boxing ring again"
    [/SIZE][/FONT] WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto has commented on the news that Antonio Margarito was found to have elements of plaster of Paris in his handwraps before his bout with Shane Mosley. “I understand that Margarito not only played with my health but he played with health of many boxers,” said Cotto. “Only God knows. I have received punishment in my career but I never had my face swell like in that fight. In the heat of the fight I didn’t feel the punches, but my face didn’t say that. I understand that one year of suspension is not much for the kind of unsportsmanlike act that Margarito presented against Mosley. He deserves the same suspension as trainer Panama Lewis. He should never step into a boxing ring again.”

    No one knows if he used them against Cotto. Cotto should fight him again and retire him if doesn't want him to step in the ring again.

    Cotto should stay quiet and avoid getting involved in this issue.

    He is right to be pissed off with the cheating ****. He is always going have that loss on his record now and to be honest no one will likely ever know for CERTAIN whether he did for the Cotto fight, even though I will always see it that way.

    In a way though, Cotto could see it in a positive way and try to write the loss off in his head and see it like he is still undefeated.

    I completely understand where Cotto's coming from. Marg should be banned for life. Boxings dangerous enough when fair.

    I am sure there has to be some kind of law against trying to hit some one with a brick.

    He was winning the fight until the stoppage. I think I can understand his feelings.

    Margo already told him to shut his mouth. Dont be surprised if he shows up at the Cotto/Clottey press conference.:lol:

    disappointing statement from Cotto. I was expecting something like "This time i'll fight him without him using illegal handwraps and kick his ass", which IMO is what a true fighter at heart would have said

    It is obvious that the kind of **** Margo had in his gloves causes odd facial damage..just like in the ****ing Ear dudes fight. Cotto WAS NOT BEING HIT THAT HARD. Its not like Margo was hitting him with all these power punches. But you seen Cottos face bust up to crazy proportions. Just like ****ing Resto. You simple asses. He ****ing cheated against Cotto period.

    Cotto's been giving him the benefit of doubt ever since he heard about this scandal, and on top of that he's never made excuses, all he's said was; "he won and it was his night"

    But now there's no longer any doubt in anyones mind, the lab results proved it all, so of course he's mad and of course he's got something to say, we'd all be on the same ****, and most of us would of been on it a whole lot sooner

    Agreed. Like Philla said he shouldn't be running his mouth on the issue unless it's about a rematch. Basically kicking the man while he is down instead of challenging him to a fight.

    Margarito's wraps won't be overlooked in any further fights now will they? :deal

    absolutely!

    Look at it this way, if he was able to do that to Cotto without illegal wraps, then why the hell would he feel the need to wear them vs Mosley? That makes no sense.

    Cotto has the right to say whatever he wants to in this case. Even more than most.
