I knew that someone fighting Margarito side to side but never in front of him had a chance a
BIG chance to take him out of his game plan
which is a very simple plan , going forward
( straight ) to exchange ALL the time , never
side to side never going backwards like a
boxer will , so Mosley knew which way to
fight Margarito as simple as that and it paid
off.

What I think is that Margarito pulled the same stunt on Cotto that he tried pulling on Mosley;
It didn't work on Mosley's fight, but unfortunally, it worked in Margarito's fight, winning the championship, and stripping the belt off Cotto. I don't think is right.

The thing is that everybody thought that because Margarito beat Cotto he was going to do it to the bigger, faster, more stamina, way stronger chin, and much more experienced Mosley. Cotto was dominating Margarito until Cotto's stamina went away. Cotto is used to fighting small guys as himself. Now he learned a lesson and might train hard to build up stamina and he should also see the fight of Mosley and Margarito because notice that Margarito can only fight putting pressure on his opponents. The key is put the pressure on him and obviously dont fight backwards. Give him Big Hooks and Right Hands like Mosley did to his Stomach. That kept Margarito slow and away from him. I think if Cotto trains the right way he would beat Margarito in their re-match. Cotto has to keep his head up and be careful of those uppercuts. Oh and by they way, I hope Margarito does not ask for a rematch because he has no chance what so ever. Mosley's skills and style is way above him. Oh Wait...About Margarito being a Brick Wall??? I guess the 37 yr old KNOCKED THAT WALL OUT.

Strip Antonio Margarito of his boxing license, and ban him to fight for life for being a cheater and along his his trainers. And start having all championship fights to wrap up their hand with assigned boxing commission inspectors, or have the hands wrapped up in the middle of the ring, have them inspected before the fight to save the lives of the fighters. And never trust those Tijuana Boys again.
