Yeah, I'm not even a fan of Margarito really and probably prefer Cotto as a fighter, but I see no point in building up the whole 'Saint Cotto got his revenge upon the Evil Satan' nonsense. It's silly. It was a decent fight and Cotto outboxed his man, but clearly there were handicaps in place. And I agree that Cotto is partially damaged too, but you can't really compare broken orbitals and eye surgery with just a beat down or two. If Margarito had done to Cotto what Pac did to himself then for sure I would be more suspicious, but Cotto simply got Margarito all wrong last time out and paid the penalty.
Cotto fought better than Margarito against Mosley, but the same is questionable concerning the Pac fights and more so concerning Clottey. They are both decent fighters with good wins on their resume. In terms of styles they are a gruelling match and it is fun watching them. Just a darn shame about old 'one eyed Willie'. Not because I feel sorry for Margarito, but because the boxing fan in me wants to see the best against the best. Handicaps only detract and I think that was the case last weekend.
