Cotto might be one of the most boring fighters alive, but Margarito is pure gold at playing the bad guy.
Now I do think he had loaded gloves vs Cotto. If you watch how Cotto's face and nose in particular just seemed to get demolished by not that many punches I think there is some evidence pointing towards Margs gloves being loaded. Especially when you take into account the fact that Marg isn't a huge puncher too. Anyway that cannot be proven so there is no point really getting into it.

Agree that Marg is great at playing the bad guy but being a complete dick head certainly helps in that department . As for Cotto being boring I assume you mean outside the ring?

This year could well be turning into a good one for boxing, we have 2 meaningful fights at HW signed and ready to go (all being well), Pac is finally giving Marquez his chance to settle the score although slightly out of his comfort zone, Floyd is making a comeback against a fast young southpaw which is hopefully a sign that the Pac fight may be in sight providing they both come through, and now this controversial fight can be re fought and Cotto can get his revenge if he does indeed have what it takes. I think he will have too much for Marg and I see him outpointing him comfortably.
