    Just look at the handwraps the gauze doesn't break like that, there was obviously something very wrong with those handwraps. Miguel Cotto was able to push Antonio Margarito back, and stand his ground later in the fight. It's obvious Antonio Margarito's punches had nowhere the same effect. And if Antonio Margarito attemped to cheat vs an aging Shane Mosley, a fight in which he was a pretty solid favourite. You don't think he would of cheated against an undefeated 2 weight champion in his prime ?

    Nope because Cotto has been severely hurt by lesser fighters prior to their bout.. Ndou pushed him in the late rounds, Corley had him on queer street, even a green Torres almost got him out of there, and Judah did the same until he was low blowed out of desperation..

    With that said, Margarito had no reason to worry about Cotto to a point where he would have loaded his gloves.

    People make him out to be an ordinary puncher without plaster, but it's not true.. You can just tell by the way he throws his punches that he's a hard hitter regardless..

    Actually Antonio Margarito throws alot of arm punches, he don't really throw his punches with alot of technique or bodyweight behind them. He's just very tough and is able to walkthrough opponent's shots and wear them down with sheer pressure.

    As for your other statements most of those fights were at 140, where Miguel Cotto was weight drained. When he moved up he was alot more studier, and was coming off an impressive win over Shane Mosley, a guy who totally destroyed Antonio Margarito.

    So why would Antonio Margarito attempt to cheat, against a guy he was heavily favoured to beat aka Shane Mosley. And not cheat in a fight where he was the underdog ? that doesn't even make sense.

    And it's pretty obvious just looking at the evidence, Antonio Margarito is a cheater. The bloodstain on the handwraps, the gauze breaking which doesn't break which means it wasn't gauze.

    The fact he pretty much hasn't won a round, against any good opponent since he was exposed. Or hasn't been as effective with his punches, i mean he couldn't even really dent a journeyman like Roberto Garcia.

    I don't know why anyone defends Antonio Margarito, i bet the real Mexican greats are looking at him in disgust. He showed no remorse and acted like a complete jackass.

    The bold part is just entirely wrong and misses the point at the same time. Margacheato had no reason to worry about Mosley either. Mosley was an old man who had struglled with Mayorga. Margacheato was a big-time favorite going into the fight with Mosley. In contrast, going into the Cotto fight, the odds were even, and many people thought Cotto would outbox Margacheato. Additionally, for Margacheato's career trajectory, the Cotto fight was much more important than the Mosley fight. The Mosley fight was supposed to be a tune-up type of fight before a bigger pay day against Mayweather or someone else.
