People have labeled him a cheat....The saddest is the fact that they look for other reasons beside the Mayweather/Pacquiao goings on to bring it up....

Who says Cottos career is ruined? If Manny took the test tommorow and it was proven he does not use enhancements what does that say about Cotto?.....

Regardless of what was found on Tony's wraps before the Mosley fight who is to say for certain that Margarito had loaded gloevs for the Cotto bout?

All is just suspect when you post stuff like this you should treat it as not as if it was written in stone....In the end you make yourself look like a tabloid follower
I hate to say it but it's possible that you're correct on both counts.
Both of these statements may be completely true:

1. Marg's corner decided to put the plaster in his wraps for the Mosley fight, where he was a huge favorite, they claimed it protected his hands (lol, and they had to rewrap them multiple times due to defiance). For some reason they decided not to do this for the biggest fight of his career against Cotto, where he (Marg) was the underdog.

2. Pacquiao wasn't juicing, his climb through the weight classes was legit. He is just honestly scarred of needles to the point where he feels it'll weaken him (mentally, not physically) in preparation for the fight - when he knows his opponent would have to undergo the same random blood-testing methods. For this, he's decided to pass on the highest-grossing fight in history.

Like I said, both statements could be true, but neither is likely, especially the first. It's too bad these things are impossible to prove. Fighters like Marg and Pac make me question why I am a fan of this so-called "sport".

Regardless, Cotto is a true warrior. His career has undoubtedly been ruined, he had to dig deep to get the championship rounds of those fights, but was ultimately outclassed (probably unfairly). I feel the worst for him, in that neither of those two fighters has been proven to be a cheat, and they are both still fighting. These things must weigh on his mind every day. Nevertheless, he has been a true gentleman about the situation, saying that (although both are suspicious), only camp Margarito and Pacquiao know if they cheated, we will likely never find out. I tip my hat to Cotto, who, if he'd forsaken his vow to fight the best, I feel could've been one of the greatest fighters of our generation.
