    Cotto could have done the same thing:

    a. had he set down on his punches
    b. not been getting hit with Bricks
    c. fought with some balls and laid into Margo.
    d. all of the above

    Cotto showed his stamina problems in the Mosley fight.

    If he had a little extra he woulda won.

    He didn't

    I got a feeling that Margo underestimated Shane and just didn't train properly or had a sound game plan. That ass-whoopin he put on Cotto probably made him think like it'd be a stroll in the park against Mosley.

    ? Even tho he got knocked out he stood up too a lot of flush right hands throughout the whole fight succuming in the end. Anyway this is irrelevant now after what Margaritos has been suspected(or pretty much guilty) of doing

    Anything to take away from Shane's performance. "Cotto softened Margo"...Margo had to drop 30+lbs"..."Margo didn't have his usual wraps"...Margo had a **** camp and was dropped in sparring."

    That's rich.

    Honestly, there's a possibility. Margarito was very clearly past his prime a couple of years before the Cotto fight (as he's entitled to be, seeing as he's been a pro for over 15 years) and the fight with Cotto was brutal.

    Having said that, I don't give a ****, as he's a cheating ****.

    Simply put most fans ignore the obvious, both men are hard hitters at WW...I've met both men through the kindness of the fallen soilder in my avatar and Cotto has the heavier hands. Mosely imposed his will and utilized his speed and power to its fullest potential, Mosely is also the superior athlete which added to the element of surprise and concussive power. To claim Cotto softened up Margo is quite inaccurate though its no seceret that he took plenty of time off because it was a brutal encounter that would have taken much time to rehab from.
