    I don’t need to because he was caught with loaded gloves in the Shane Mosley fight.

    Loaded with what? Against the same Shane Mosley who admitted to doping? Where is the outrage for Shane not proving he was clean in that fight? The reality is that you can’t prove it and are basing it on emotions.

    If the handwrap was hardened as you say, why weren’t his hands broken?

    The "CJ" Defense. If his hands weren't broken, the wraps couldn't have been hardended. Who says hardened handwraps result in hands being broken? What broke were the handwraps. Hardened or not, were still protecting the hands since they were wrapped around the hands prior to hardening. However the harder the wraps, the more damage punches cause, which is why they're not allowed.

    Yes, go rewatch that fight there was controversy with the wraps when they were wrapping his hands, than all of the sudden Margarito had his eye busted up BAD before the 4 round

    Two wrongs don't make a right. Whataboutism over Mosley's doping admissions don't make what Tony did OK. And the difference is that Tony was forced to re-wrap vs Mosley, but he wasn't vs Cotto. The damage he inflicted with hardened wraps occurred vs Cotto, he was just caught trying to do it again vs Mosley, as California has stricter hand wrap rules than Nevada, where he fought Cotto.

    You must have forgotten the controversy when they were wrapping Pacquiao hands...

    Was he forced to re-wrap? Did Margarito's team object to the wraps, but were allowed anyway? What exactly happened? Sounds like a more borderline situation than what happened with Tony vs Cotto.

    No he was caught with plaster of Paris in his hand wraps and was subsequently suspended. Mosley gave him retribution in the ring that night beating the **** out of him. Further justice dished out by both Pacquiao and Cotto in the rematch messing up his eye.

    I am glad Cotto got his revenge blinded him.

    That's how a lot of people felt, that he got what he deserved for cheating, not just in the Cotto rematch but also vs Pacquiao with the eye. I'm not sure how fair that is, though, but no one had any sympathy for Tony after what he did to Cotto.

    Are you gonna try & start that rumor you idiot? Although Robert Garcia complained about Pac's wraps for that fight but the commission refused to make him re wrap after Freddie has a hissy fit lol. Might have been stacking who knows

    I really thought you had more sense than that Olu. You know he NEVER needed to cheat unlike your Floyd & Canelo Now THEY are the cheats
