    At the same time you can't exactly say that him cheating with his gloves definitley won him the fight. Cotto threw everything at Margarito and it didn't really have an effect on him because of his chin, I think that had a lot to do with Cotto's confidence diminishing towards the end of the fight and then finally taking a knee

    IF he did cheat in the Cotto fight, then we don't know who would've won if the gloves were legal.

    There's too many factors to come into play.

    Just attributing it to Margarito's chin/Cotto's stamina is too simplistic.

    Obviously, you can't say either guy definitely would've won.

    cotto was outboxing the **** out of margarito early into the fight, the first 6 rounds. Had margo not cheat he would have continued to outbox margo to a UD and the effect of those punches had margo not cheat wouldn't take an effect on cotto

    When your taking blows to the face and stomach and bleeding perfusely from shots that were devastating...

    IF he did cheat...yea...I seriously doubt Cotto would've taken a knee...I mean he lasted to round 11...ROUND ****IN' 11...there's 12 rounds not 15...he could've held out for just one more round.

    IF it was illegal and caught beforehand...obviously he would've been able to make it into the 12th and won a decision.

    I for one was a Margacheato fan until this. I felt he brought alot to the table but now its all down the drain. I think the question here is how long has he been fighting like that ! Look, i think its pretty obivious that its a done deal for him now. He got caught cheating and than got knocked out !!! And reminder here (Shane) isn't a knock out artist at all. The sad part as well is from the 2nd round with a broken nose....until the 11th round before Cotto took the knee. It just wasn't worth it.

    There is no evidence to prove that in fact he did cheat and numerous times, its all speculation. I like Cotto but this isn't the first time he's been hurt before face facts

    :goodAgreed, there may have been padding in the gloves but Margarito's chin was solid in that fight, but what the F*** happened to his chin in the Mosley fight?:huh

    true but how often have you seen cotto's face look like that after a fight?

    bottom line is once team margarito was caught it throws doubt on everything that before it - but - like mosley and jones, most of that can be washed away and it will be forgotten largely if margarito can come back and be a wrecking ball again without it.

    No evidence that he cheated against Cotto.

    Cotto fans just want to make their ****in excuses after their boy got beaten to a pulp.

    And Margarito fans are just as bad. Still trying to keep that conversation going, so we don't actually focus on the monumental ass-whippin Margo received in the ring that night...

    I don't even know what he tried to put in his gloves for the Mosley fight. Apparently the only people that do are Margarito, Capetillo and the cashier at Home Depot who rang up the plaster (just kidding). If all it turns out to be is a soft knuckle pad then it wouldn't have made much difference at all.

    See the real video in your boy Freddy scam's thread. It was not soft. It was flat and stiff and not bendable. That is not knuckle pads.
