Cheating is just one variable on the journey to being great.
In most contact sports i'd say illegal tactics are used by the very best.
Cotto aint no angel either......the low blows that got him back into the fight against Torres and the kidney shots he was hitting Quintana with.
It's a rough game and your opponent is trying to take your head off. A bit of rule bending here and there is sometimes the difference between good and great.
Personally it's the referee's job to sort it out....but while fighters get away with it, they're not going to stop. And i don't really blame them.
