    I like the comment that refers to Margarito as being "Hands of Stone"

    I have been already using the comparison. Duran's "Manos De Piedra", I've been calling Margarito, "Antonio 'Manos De Plaster' Margarito".

    I m not being racist- but this kind of tactic is commonly seen south of the border- in puerto rico- and mexico . a fight between two mexicans- in mexico - is full of these kinds of shenanigans- and theyre accepted pat and parcel as part of the gamesmanship of the sport. So im disappointed- but not overly suprised if the results come positive.

    There was something about the way cotto went down in my mind- now i look at things in retrospect. sure the punches were deadly- and cumulative- but he was being broken down as though he was being hit by a middleweight- not a welterweight- margarito may be a tough son of a gun- but hes not a KO killer. I think Cotto took some enormous bombs from Mosely- but from Margo there was a noted and substantial difference in his reaction- could this be the case??? it certainly seems so now. if it is- i hope cottos record and reputation are restored- and justice is brought . that margo faces the punishment he deserves.

    Im not exaggeratting- but this is like bringing in a concealed weapon into the ring. literally.

    Hate to see it- the sport is dangerous enough as is.

    how does this idiot writer on here say fans are jumping to conclusions....It is called reading what happened....the guy cheated and it it CERTAINLY not out of the realm of possibility that he cheated against cotto...evidence or not...he got caught ,,,anything he has done is now tainted....he is a cheater and worse he is dangerous to other fighters klives and livelihood....he is the true coward not PBF not COTTO for stopping...what a joke

    That's right. The proof is in the pudding.
