Isn't it possible that Margarito is ruined for good..

i think a fighter can only take so many punches before it starts to catch up with them and nobody takes more flush punches in a fight than margarito.

Check out Librado Andrade (he looks like Margarito's uglier older brother & that's sayin somethin) he literally defends with his face so he can get his punches off.

This past fight could have cracked Toni's chin but I think it just showed the way everyone should fight Margarito if they want to win. Miguel Cotto was probably kicking himself by the 3rd round of the Margarito-Mosley fight because he had the opportunity to do exactly what Mosley did but he moved too much and took the power off his punches and tired himself out.

ALSO there is the BIG issue of illegal handwraps, was Toni using illegal wrapping when he beat Cotto? Is that the reason he damn near took that guy's ear off? There are SERIOUS questions about Toni's career from this fight....but he does have heart, I'll give him that

Think both Cotto and Cintron power is over rated big time i think Mosley did to Margarito because he is was mentally and phsically thougher then both those guys put together not only that but with his speed his power is more effective Margarito has never had punches hurt him that bad.

Im going to put it like this. If all this handwrap issue is true then its pretty hard for anyone to think that he never used plaster in the first place. If he used it against Mosley then he used it in his other fights IMO.
