    There is nothing controversial or particularly stupid in Margarito's comments.
    Cotto had taken Margarito's "best shot" and gave him 4 solid punches in return, he wasn't slowing down at all, and his stamina has been superb in his last 3 bouts, so you can through that fading down the stretch bit out the window, Margarito's ego took a hit, cause his ass was handed to him by a guy who he say's hits like a girl, where was Tony's devastating punching power? nowhere to be found, stat's speak for themselves and the biggest one is that Margarito is now 1-3 since being caught with the plaster wraps, don't really see how no one can acknowledge it

    Margarito got closer to Cotto in the last couple of rounds (even as he couldn't see) but Cotto seemed more willing to trade with him. It was as if Cotto felt Margarito's power and knew he wasn't going to get destroyed. Yes, after trading a few times in the last few rounds, Cotto went back to boxing (as that is still the smart thing to do). Fight was stopped at beginning of round 10. I think by end of round 11, Cotto would have started going onto the front foot and trying to really put a hurting on Margarito. I believe the eye being completely shut robbed him of that.

    Great point. I was pointing this out to some of the Margarito supporters I know and they refused to acknowledge this as suspicious. I mean the guy has never went 4 fights in a row without a KO let alone looking like crap with little power now and getting stopped on 2 of those 4 fights. And he was brutally beaten in the Pac fight. I posed this question to the guys I know...Before he got caught with plaster Margarito was brutally hurting most fighters and was once labeled the most feared/avoided fighter in boxing. Margarito still applies the same pressure why is it that he is not hurting anyone anymore?

    I'd like to see a source for that. Not that i don't believe you but I remember reading that Mosley was also 'suprised by the lack of pop' in Cotto's punches.

    Margarito’s a cheater of criminal proportions. Good riddance. There’s no way to know how much a price, if any, Cotto paid in terms of permanent damage to his boxing ability…but I’m thankful he had enough left to extract this revenge. I find it hard to understand those who can’t feel some joy for the guy. And I’m otherwise indifferent to Cotto.

    As a sidepoint, PBF has great instincts. Magarito, along with Mosely and Pac, are the 3 biggest examples his distractors use as evidence that he ducks. 2 of the 3 are proven cheaters. I’m not saying Pac is juicing but I believe PBF genuinely believes he is.

    It's a video interview, he mentions cotto's speed is deceptive and at around 2.45 he mentions cotto hit him harder than margarito did

    if the fight kept going cotto would have stopped him, cottos punches started hurting margarito, it reminded me a bit of the mosely fight, and it would have been stupid for miguel to stand and trade with margarito on the inside, margarito is an awesome inside fighter and has brutal upprectus that sneak in to the body, miguel fought a great fight plain and simple
