Sad day in boxing

[Gandalf]

Cotto lucked out, he is way past his best. People are being mean to VD because they have a sentimental attachment to Cotto. He boxed well, but it wasn't as though he outboxed Manny and changed the world. He outboxed a past his best one eyed pirate. Fair enough, I say. But enough of the gay ElTerrible threads.

Cotto didn't "luck out"; he just beat the guy. Margarito "lucked out" until the Mosley fight. In fights where we're certain he wasn't cheating, he's a very unimpressive 1-3. You can attribute the Cotto win to Margarito's decline, but in response to that:

1) You opined before the fight that Cotto had declined more than Margarito since their last fight; and
2) It's at the very least suspect that said decline coincides precisely with the discovery of the gloves at the Mosley fight.
