    I disagree.

    While he seems well mannered enough there is defently something about him that makes me not trust him.

    Kind of a rogue Mexican.

    that big grin he does...........its like he knows something you dont

    he is no angel

    Pull a few naughty tricks and smash Cotto' head in with a bit of cheating..........no problem

    I feel he is capable of this and is probaly guilty of cheating

    cotto was ahead on two judges cards when the fight was stopped. Margoitos how style is break down opponents. if hes got extra power in his punches, how many of the guys hes stopped late or forced to slow down and loose rounds late would of been able to outlast the punishment.

    Yes, I think it has been sent off for analysis according to reports.

    yeah he is a throw back fighter........thats the thing..........throwback fighters are brutal and bend rules because they are brutal

    they dont care

    they dont lose sleep at night about the faxt they cheated a bit to smash someone in

    its their brutal way of life

    Colin Jones admitted to cheating as a amateur.............when they were dishing out the gloves for all the boxers at a amateur show when no-one was looking he grabbed a light pair.........just mere training mitts..........and he went out there and pole axed the other guy with one punch

    "A bit naughty but itdone the job mind"............said Colin

    he did have any worries about doing it

    he was in a brutal sport and wanted every advantage he could to destroy his opponnet

    he said he

    "loved hurting people it has been bred into me since I was 9 years old"

    at the boxing shed behind my back garden

    he also had a Swansea V cardiff grudge fight with Billy Waith early on in his pro career

    he ****ed up waith with illegal kidney punches and said he was pleased to leave Waith

    "squealing on the floor like a pig"

    he was brutal , he didnt care about bending rules to smash someone in

    now I'm not saying that is anything to be proud of

    but the point is people like this think brutally and Margrito is this kind of guy too

    a throwback raw brutal fighter who is prepared to bend the rules


    You wouldnt know the girl in my avatar..........she is a friend of mine

    I think TFFP has made the middle choice in his poll of sitting on the fence espcially for Jeff Thomas

    "Khan will either lose to or beat a past his best Barrera" :lol::lol::lol:

    Yeah but Mosley seems like a decent guy. So does Evan Fields. Don't mean you don't cheat.

    no wonder Cotto quit

    can you imagine having hard plaster smashing into you round after round

    its all very well to call him a quitter

    and use cheap cliches like "death before the dishonur of quitting"

    but thats easy to say

    every human being has their breaking points and usually that i before they die they would quit rather than die

    Cotto reached his breaking point against Margarito

    And I dont blame him............theres no shame in that...........I feel bad for him

    If he had a hard plaster smashing into him round after round he is lucky he didnt have his skull cracked open

    I'm a huge Cotto fan, and to be honest I don't have a problem with the defeat.

    IMO last night the two "cheats" should have been left to each other, it would be quite interesting to see how loaded gloves do against a junked up fighter. Mosley is, and always will be a disgrace in my eyes, Margo on the other hand has to be proved guilty beyond rumour mongering before we can slait him

    I've gotta say that the damage to Cotto's face did not look normal, to me anyway. Even after a twelve round fight. But I'll reserve judement until it's proven.

    Wait, is it definately proven without doubt? Have the results from the Commission come back yet?

    What substance was actually supposed to have been found in Margos wraps, everyone keeps saying plaster but that is patently ridiculous.
