Cotto Says Margarito Should Be Banned For LIFE!!

[denilson200]

I actually thought that Mosley would win BEFORE I knew about the hand wraps but I thought it would be on points. I think the fact that Mosley so dominated and outclassed Margarito so comprehensively shows that Margarito hand wraps played a MASSIVE part in his career. When you look at the style and trajectory of Magarito punches, to me, he doesn't punch like or shape like he punches hard. He doesn't look like he puts everything into his punches, turns his whole body and shoulder. Yet he was destroying guys. It's not like where you watch the old Tyson or Julian Jackson or Thomas Hearns those fighters LOOK like they punch hard. I consider Margarito only couples of notches above Luis Resto

Good post that.

I totally agree that technically Margarito really doesn't look very good. He does have a great chin and a lot of stamina, but when it comes to throwing punches with mean intentions I struggle to see where the power is coming from. You point out how someone like Tyson throws punches and tries to get serious leverage on his shots by bending his knees and really letting his
body turn into the shot. Margarito, for me, has always looked sloppy when he throws. As much as I love Calzaghe, I think of Margarito as having a punch style more in that vein rather than a fighter who can really accumulate damage. And yet he did accumulate damage, I'm not saying he hardened the gloves in previous fights, but it does make you wonder to yourself.

Margarito should be banned for life, if some of you question the fact that having plaster in your handwraps can change a fight,it's like having a weapon!

it's cheating, there are no excuses, and he could have killed a boxer that night or the other nights. I'm just so happy Shane's people were there to examine his handwraps.

Margarito don't deserve to fight again, his cornermen and team should be kept outside boxing organisation. hell he even shouldn't be allowed to watch the fight.

Cotto's defeat should be scrapped from his record to a non contest. Margarito cheated like this guys years ago whoi fought a brave kid with fake gloves (they removed the protection of gloves). I still see the father examining the gloves at the end of the fight...these people are murderers.
