Miles WTF why the hell are you rooting for a cheater ? a guy who was willing to load his gloves. Permantely damage a fighter for his own gain, then has the nerve to come into the fight that smug ?

F*** Margarito he cheated in the in the 1st Cotto fight, and got his ass kicked and exposed again.

---

You have no hard evidence so calm down. I am a human being and people deserve forgiveness. Get over it. You should probably have a nap.

---

How about evidence from a guy who's been in the ring with him ? basically admitting his punches didn't have the same effect ? and why should he be forgiven ? he got a slap on the wrist and shows no remorse.

There is no smoking gun, but there is a shit-ton of circumstantial evidence. I think you can conclude that Margarito likely cheated in the first bout.

Yes, Cotto was gifted a handicap by Pacquiao. Take away that fight and Margarito does the same thing again. He could have fought with more abandon and make Cotto meet his maker.

Unlike HBO, this fight makes me think that Margarito wasn't loaded the first time. The only difference was the eye making him a little more cautious and an eye that wouldn't hold up so long.

Cotto boxed well, but it was a little bit empty in the end.

---

Same here, bro. Cotto's punches had no effect in slowing down Margo, despite making his right eye that was already damaged by Pacquiao swell up. He just kept on coming like Cotto's punches weren't anything and his punches were effecting Cotto. Say what you want, but you can't load up a chin.

I'm not sure how I feel about the stoppage, but I find myself agreeing with Kellerman here.

Yes, fabulous win for Margarito tonight. Cotto didn't belong in the same ring with him.

He felt he did no wrong and boxing has allowed him to continue. Shame on humanity and boxing commisions then, but Margarito didn't grant himself a license. There are a lot of people to blame and bigger fool Cotto for not checking the wraps in the first place. Stupidity and blame abound, but you get over it and you move on.

I will not hate on anyone other than Amir Khan for the duration of a lifetime.

Yeah - we all know Margarito is a tough hombre. He might think Cotto hits like a girl, but only one guy got spanked like a little girl in the ring tonight.

That's what I was thinking, Cotto looked tremendous, I especially liked it when he tied Margarito up and bulled/wrestled him into the ropes. Margo kept coming, and was aggressive, but he wasn't effective with it.
Nice win for Miguel, I feel like he vindicated himself.

Perhaps, but we cannot say with any certainty. And even in the event that he did so, I believe in forgiveness. A man commits a crime, then we rehabilitate, we do not put away forever. If he doesn't try to cheat again, then I don't really mind him fighting. Cotto should really have checked his wraps in the first place. It would be like me coming to class without my materials. You have to do your preparation properly.

A case of what was was and that everyone should move on and learn from past mistakes.

He really shouldn't have to. It's a sport, not a fight to the death between two arbitrary people.

I believe in forgiveness too, but only for those who deserve it. Having courage doesn't make Margarito any less of a cheater, and he has been a belligerent and blatant liar ever since he was caught. I have no respect for him as a person or a fighter and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the beatings he took in the last two fights.

Sorry, but a man who risks taking the life of another man by cheating, does not deserve forgiveness. Especially if that man has absolutely no remorse for what happened.
