cotto had different tactics and didnt get hit anywhere near as much, plus margarito was injured and looked much slower than he did first time around

i'd say if anything there was more to prove he wasnt wearing pads first time around looking at that fight because i think cotto was starting to get busted up and i think the last 3 rounds would have been interesting

im glad cotto won mind

and yes id like to hear someone directly ask him what he thinks about the loaded gloves now, and hopefully he would give an honest response

I don't think there was much to suggest any difference, but I don't think Margarito would have beaten Cotto fair and square first time out and then felt the need to use loaded wraps to fight an ageing Mosely. That wouldn't be the 1st fight you picked to do that.
I kind of half agree with this.. It's unlikely that Mosley would be the first opponent Margarito picked to use the plaster, BUT at the same time Shane was always going to be a much tougher matchup for him than Cotto when you think back on it. Mosley in good form would have never lost to anything that even resembles Margarito, you didn't beat Sugar Shane by being a tough guy.
