Classic fight not remembered as much as it should be cause of Margarito getting popped for his hand wraps later
Yea I'll never be able to look at it the same. At the time it was one of the greatest examples of "skill vs will" I've ever seen. No matter how much damage margarito took, he just never stopped coming. That's one of them fights that low-key leave you emotional afterwards. I gained so much respect for both guys that day.
But I always thought cotto's face swelling up like that was crazy as fukk. shyt didn't look natural at all. Then after margarito got outed I understood why. Margarito will always be a coward to me. I 100% believe be used plaster in that cotto fight. It's a shame because that fight was so legendary, but I can't even watch it anymore.
