Also there was an Australian 39 year old champ whom all the sites...ALL...reported as having committed suicide, was on life support was taken off because he was dead. Everyone reported him DEAD, there were many RIP condolences here on BoxingScene. LO and Behold, what had happened was they took him off life support because he was recovering, although according to the boxing world,,,meaning boxing sensationalist reporters and ignorant "jump-on-the-bandwagon-fan loonies, he was dead. I'll bet that most of them don't even know or want to admit yet that he's alive and kicking.
Look how an accidental discovery that Margarito's knuckle pad although looking as new as it was supposed tobe, actually had a strip of "slightly stiffened in places" (according to the first Commissioner who handled it) alrad used gauze inside. This was immediately made into "bandages covered with Plaster", "bricks falling out of his wraps", "cement blocks", and must have generated at least a 1000 idiotic posts wishing him dead, adnd horrible mutilated as well..etc.
All the exhaustive investigation turned up was that slightly stiffened in places strip of gauze, which, being used, technically made the pad illegal, causing an infringement of the rules. But since many of the Commission thought Margarito was innocent and should be exonerated, a sub clause in the Rules made him liable to penalty. SOoooo... their verdict, as stated in the OFFICIAL DOCUMENT, was that we beieve that you were unaware of the used pad, but "because you are the head of the team" you are liable. So agin they compromised, by levying the smallest penalty allowed by the Rules.
THIS IS ALL DAMNED WELL ON OFFICIAL RECORD, yet, it ruined Margarito's boxing career, and likely his life, and "Plastercheato" or whatever the hell they call him, will follow him to his grave. All from the mouths (I don't say brains) of US boxing fans.
And these little examples are only a small sample of how stupid boxng fans are. I do believe, that of ALL the sports, boxing fans have by far the lowest IQ's. And they're sure to keep repeating the same garbage for ever, to manufacture boxing myth after boxing myth......like you. So stop being silly, and be more selective, before jumping from rumour to speculation into downright untruth.
And you think I'm naive........ Oh my.
