Cotto does not have the power that Mosley does. That was the big difference.

I didn't watch the Mosley/ Margarito fight yet- how was Mosley's style of fight? Was he the aggressor? I think that lost the fight for Cotto- he was always on the run

You nailed it. Mosley stepped in and beat him to the punch all night long.

The illegal wraps diminish Margarito in my eyes. He is no longer worthy of his place in the rankings having gotten away with this for who knows how many fights.

He probably used these illegal wraps in every fight against a tough fighter, including Cotto. No respect for him after this revelation. What a fraud and a SHAME to the great tradition of Mexican fighters.

What the heck is up with the CA Commission taking so long to issue a ruling? You would think that by now they would know what was up with the wraps.

This has taken a long time. I'm not sure what would be so difficult.

Jose Sulaiman and his Mexico based WBC is in the process of greasing palms and threatening the CA Athletic Commission members that they'll do business only in NY and NV if dont rule favorably for the Mexican fighter. I bet anything there is some fishy behind-the-scenes things going on right now.

I wouldn't be surprised. This decision could have big money implications.

Well, I don't know about him, but I think his trainer is kinda to blame as much as he is.
