i think it is unlikely that he used loaded gloves. he could have but if he had used them before in other fights wouldnt he have gotten caught using them? or attempting to use them?:confused:
Not really. Luis Resto did not knock Billy Collins Jr. out with loaded gloves.Quote:

This f...ing cheater should not be allowed to fight anymore. Of course is very likely that he had used the loaded wraps before. Probably we can guess when he started loooking at the frequency of his KOs.
Absolutely sure he did cheat before, he was not near as damaging in the Mosely, Garcia and Pacquiao fights. This guy is a freakin bully and cheat I hate him.
im not sure you can use margaritos record against him like thatQuote:

Also since the BALCO scandal broke in 2002 Mosley's record ain't all that geat either, though Shane has gotten older anyway so it's kind of harder to determine how much roids helped him.
he lost to mosely but he had just been caught, i reckon when you get to that level the affect that that can have on you mentally can lose you the fight
his other loss was against pac and i thought he put in a decent performance when you compare it to pacs other recent opponents
Whilst I believe Marg did cheat I was impressed by his performance against Pac Man and believe he does deserve to fight Cotto.
I think Cotto takes him apart this time!Quote:

Look at Resto vs Collins...by all means Collins nailed Resto with plenty of power shots that really should have hurt him or stopped him or slowed him down and in previous fights it would have, but he had loaded wraps AND gloves that had been tampered with and that gave Resto the courage (and I use that term ever so loosely in describing what he felt) to keep attacking Collins.
I think loaded wraps gives a fighter a mental edge plain and simple....we'll see how this plays out with Cotto-Margarito II though, I think Miguel can stop him this go round.
Sorry mate but i disagree with you on this - if your clocked with a knockout punch it doesn't matter if your dressed in chain mail, have glass tapped to your fists and spikes in your boots - 9/10 you are going to go down. Wether Maragrito used loaded wraps or not in the cotto fight - there is no denying that he had/has a granite chin and Cotto hit him with everything he had. This is why he lost he went out and executed his game plan to perfection and Margarito just kept coming at him.Quote:
