    Put aside your hate for Margarito for a second....

    I thought it was kind of a punk way for cotto to win that fight. I was at Margaritas fight against Moseley when he got busted for plaster wraps

    I still was pulling for him in the cotto rematch tho , and I felt like Margi was pressing the action again, but Cotton was all chips in against that eye

    Punk move? That was fair game. Margarito got in the ring that night. He knew what could happen.

    No, that's what you're supposed to do. Come in the ring damaged, there's no excuses.

    When you can make a champ like Cotto take a knee and quit by just jogging towards them you know we're dealing with a badass here.

    Absolutely not. And yes Cotto took the b**** route as usual, by targeting an injury.

    Cotto NEVER beat Margarito. That crooked Doc stopped the fight because Margarito was coming on & Cotto was wilting. He couldn't let Pretty in Pink quit AGAIN!!!!!!! Margarito was fighting with one good eye from round 2 thanks top Cotto lacing his eye & Quitto still couldn't beat him
    Oh BTW There never was any plaster only in Richardsons imagination:fire:fire

    Yes because he did I saw his hands wrapped for Cotto 1 & the only thing dangerous in them were The Tijuana Tornadoes fists

    The second fight seem to be going the way of the first until the stoppage.

    Nah. Margarito was getting used as a bobble head in just about every round and Cotto was able to keep the action in ring center for most of it.

    Youtube both fights simultaneously and you'll see an eerie resemblance.
