Was Margarito's gloves loaded in the Cotto fight?

Impossible, anyons only exsist in two dimensional systems, and particles hardly have the power of x-ray do they?

 

I think Margarito did have loaded gloves, yes.

 

In my opinion "Yes" but it's unfortunate that we'll never know for sure. All I'm saying is "WHY" would you do it against an old Sugar Shane Mosley and not for a PRIME Miguel Cotto....Plain and simply put Margarito and his team were caught cheating.... So to fault anyone for believing this wasn't the first time is beyond rediculous in my eyes...Because it doesn't make much sense when you look at it from a logical and neutral point of view.

 

Logic would say that the most likely scenario is that his gloves were loaded.

 

Exactly. At the time of the fight Cotto was one of the most accomplished and dangerous fighters in the entire sport; while Mosley was seen as being over the hill and too old. Given his obvious lack of honesty and the danger posed by Cotto, there is no doubt in my mind that Margarito cheated.

 

Cotto was the biggest fight of Margarito's life. Cotto was undefeated, looking great, hyped to hell and delivering the goods. And he hadn't long outboxed Mosley. Mosley on the other hand had gone life and death with Mayorga, had recently lost to Cotto and seemed old and potentially shot.

Why would Maragrito, after demolishing his toughest test in Cotto and looking unstoppable, suddenly decide to cheat against what was perceived as an easier fight with Mosley? And yes, hindsight is a *****.

It just wouldn't work like that. Margarito tried to cheat with Mosley, which means he'd been cheating beforehand.

So, yes.

EDIT: If anything, they probably started cheating after the loss to Paul Williams where Margarito couldn't get into his whirlwind rhythm and gave away too many early rounds. More firepower would have helped him out there. He then went on to demolish Golden Johnson in 1 round, who although being a gimme fight was dispatched very quickly for the notoriously slow starting Margarito. And then he went on to batter a much improved Cintron.

 

Margarito is an arm puncher. The turnaround was dramatic. Can't be sure but it is a possibility.

 

I think its quite obvious that they were. Dont tell me you think Margarito is a "slow starter.'

 

They...appreciate his mullet?

 

Me too. That mullet was tasteful but daring. You can't say that about Cotto's haircut, that's for sure. No wonder he's a catcher now.

Still, it's irrelevant, really. The plaster wasn't on Margarito's actual hand wraps, but instead on a pad concealed inside them as you can see demonstrated in this GIF...

Margarito has=

Also timing and distance are important, Margarito ain't good there either
