    The Mosley fight is a bad example because he practically didnt land anything on Shane that night.

    of course they were loaded, there is no reason to believe otherwise.

    yea but if Nevada supplies the gauze, and the the knucklepad is made of that gauze that is supplied by Nevada, then its impossible to conceal something inside the pad.

    if indeed margo attempted to load his gloves against molsey, it is highly probable that it's was not the first time he did it. and it highly probable that he was loaded against cotto that time was undefeated and just won against mosley. but it also possible that he tried to load against mosley knowing that shane has granite chin. but we can only speculate!

    Nevada supplied all the tape and gauze, and had a commissioner in the dressing room who actually did their job... Nevada had already cleared Margarito of any wrong doing.
    There for the answer is NO~ Margarito did not have loaded gloves for the Cotto fight.

    The logic some of you people use to come to the conclusion that his gloves were loaded is plain ludicrous. :patsch Sherlock Holmes you are not.

    No!

    If there was something wrong with Margo's gloves,

    Evangelista and/or the NSAC would have said something.

    So by your logic, Mosley was juiced in the Margarito fight. No wonder he looked like Superman in the Margarito fight and a scared cat in the Mayweather fight.

    Bull****. Cotto was not the most accomplished and dangerous fighters in the entire sport. What had the dude accomplished? Fighting at jr. ww where he pretty much dried himself out so he could have a huge advantage over the other guys? Or getting rocked by Corley and Torres?

    Cotto was good, but he was never the "great" fighter a lot of the Puerto Ricans were making him out to be. He was a good solid fighter who beat some decent fighters but he had too many flaws to be called great, especially with the minor accomplishments he had made in boxing. He never took a title from a champion.

    In Margarito he met a fighter who was taller, tougher, and more resilient than him. I knew once the fight was made that Cotto was going to have a tough time winning against Margarito. It was not a good match up for Cotto and it was proven on that night.

    Not at all impossible. A lot of this would hinge on when exactly the fighters are given the gauze and how closely they are monitored by the NSAC representative assigned to the fighter. Either way, it's still completely possible non-comission issued wrapping materials could have found there way into the dressing room.
