I used to be a big fan of his, but the wraps thing pissed me off. Although nothing has been proved, it made me question if he also had used illegal wraps in the past.
I'm not gonna deny he used it in the past, but it has not been proved, so I want to believe he only tried to use it against Mosley.
I still like Margarito, to be honest. He is an exciting fighter, very good pressure fighter, unreal stamina and he can take a fucking beating and will go down smiling, how can you not like that? :lol1:..
I'm actually looking forward to his return, to see what he's got left in the tank.
He used to be my favorite boxer (before I really got into boxing, I read an article about him and watched a few of his fights). He's exciting and has an unbreakable chin. I want to believe that he wasn't the one who cheated but I don't know if I can...I don't think he used them against Cotto, though. If you had illegal wraps, would you take your gloves off first thing? And then, the ref raised his hand after the fight was over, grabbed him right on the wrist. That's good enough for me. So I'm looking forward to his coming back, but he won't ever be my favorite again.
I used to be a Margarito fan until i learnt he tried to cheat against Mosley and probably did it before. Even if he didn't i can't respect and support that kind of people.
Although i'm a Floyd fan and can't stand the Floyd ducked Margarito accusations;I've always defended Tony in the handwrap subject. It just doesn't add up, 1 year ban for "Plaster-Like" punching pad. It makes no sense, if it was that serious, at this day and age that's a permanent ban in boxing. It was blown way out of proportion, that's why he only got a 1 year ban. The commission knows it wasn't that big of a deal they just wanted to look strict about it.
I never really thought Cotto quit in that fight. He showed heart and balls IMO.
Yeah but before the plaster came to light, looking at Cotto take a knee while getting tagged looked like o.k he needs a breather, he's hurt, he may recover during the 8 count, then next thing you know he back peddaled and took a knee again without even getting touched, that made me furious and question him. But after Mosley vs Margarito I again became a Cotto fan.
i like margarito, i dont like him as much as the rest of my fellow mexicans here in east L.A who love his ass. margarito is cool, i wouldnt go damn crazy about him like everyone else i know here in East L.a
Ever since he was exposed loading his gloves I hate him! Not just because of the wraps though, but because I said alot of messed up things about Cotto for taking a knee and quitting, Cotto happened to be my favorite fighter at the time they fought, and watching him quit made me question his heart, then as soon as Margarito was busted with plaster, I felt horrible for bashing Cotto. Nothing anybody says will convince me that Margarito only loaded his gloves for the Mosley fight. I enjoyed every second of Mosley vs Margarito!

I admit I don't hate him as much as I did on Jan 24, 2009. The hate is fading to just dislike now.
Margarito is the nicest guy i've ever met, He usually doesn't like people mentioning the incident around him and if they do he kindly shrugs it off and doesn't get angry. I've seen him spar in the gym he trains in Tijuana called Mojac, He's a pretty cool dude.
for me, its weird
i was disgusted by what went down with the Mosely fight and i hated Margarito for trying to cheat
but something funny happened while he was suspended; my hate went away
maybe it was the way he entertained me with his fights...maybe the story of a tough mexican kid with no hype climbing the ranks stuck? i dont know
im supposed to think he was a scumbag but when i met him in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, nothing but props and support came out
Same here, for some reason it's hard to hate on him now. Now if he went on to fight before his yearlong suspension it would've been a different story

That's exactly how I feel. The hate went away... I like him again :lol1:.
