Past their prime great fighters can still win "big" fights.
Ali beating Spinks Duran defeating Moore and Barkley Ray Robinson beating Basilio and Fulmer Joe Louis KOing Wlacott Mickey Walker beating Maxie Rosenbloom Ray Leonard over Hagler
But SHOT fighters I think by definition can't win "big" fights. Unless somehow they meet another shot fighter and the fight is somehow still big.
The idea that Morales, coming off a SD loss to MAB after six straight wins, was somehow shot when he beat Manny is just dead wrong.

I've read every post in this thread and I appreciate the information. All the so called shot fighters on here (Well most) are HOF fighters who honored the sport. Here we go again. Let's look at Marbles list of figthers who fit this description.

Antonio Margarito over Manny Paqauiao. What's wrong with this picture?? I can't understand why intelligent people actually question whether Tony loaded his gloves against Cotto. I'm a long way from understanding that. The following things are more likely to happen than a Margarito victory.
1. A courtroom exists in America on this day. Not ONE lie is told for 24 hours.
2. A drug dealer has just been arrested for 6 kilos of cocaine. However, because of the location of the drugs, he has a chance to beat the rap. The dealer becomes a Christian on the spot and confesses to owning the cocaine.
3. The Democrats sweep the House and the Senate on Nov 2nd .
4. Wolfganster becomes a Rabbi in a very well known Synagogue.
5. Al Sharpton and Howard Stern start their own radio show.
6. Mike Tyson never sees the inside of a jail cell again.
7. On this 12th day of October, you can look at a magazine rack and not see a big rack of tits anywhere.
8. In the next 48 hrs., no member of Ninja will visit a porno site.
9. Ann Coulter endorses Prez Obama.
10. Someone will find the REAL killers.

It may simply show I'm not intelligent but here are some reasons for thinking Maragriuto's gloves weren't loaded for the Cotto fight.
1. Cotto suffered no unusual injuries for a guy in a long and grueling fight. 2. Margarito paraded around the ring in just his wraps shaking hands after the fight 3. Margarito practically waved his wraps in Kellerman's face after the fight.
