    Margarito is done as far as a top welterweight. It would have been one thing if Mosley had beat him on the cards, but not only did Mosley brutally knock Margarito out, he also established that by sticking to the blueprint of combination punching from distance, going to the body, and clinching, beats Margarito. Also, Margarito couldn't adjust. He saw what Mosley was doing, but he didn't know how to react.

    It is doubtful Margarito beats Cotto next time around, but if he were to beat Cotto again, then it may be the case that Shane just has his number. Like Margarito has Cintron's.

    I think that there is a good chance that he is finished. The thing that enabled him to make opponents fear him was his chin, & that was his big selling point to the media. This was the man who COULDN'T be knocked out. Now that that is clearly no longer true, I think it will be tough for him to be the same fighter he was. Still a lot of admiration for the guy as a fighter

    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.
