Do you think vs. Mosley is the only time Marg tried to cheat??

I don't think it was, but I have what I think is a pretty good reason it might have been. Think. He just got out of the most brutal fight of his life against Cotto. Yes he won, but he took a serious beating. He was finally on top of the world, but he was also older. It's not that far fetched IMO to think that the Cotto fight took a hell of a lot out of him and he felt he would have to cheat against Mosley in a desperate attempt to keep the title he had just earned. I mean, if he was using them in all his fights why the hell did it take so long for someone to bust him? Does anybody remember how he was breaking peoples ribs and shàt, but has no knock out power? He punches with his arms.. elbows tucked but could break your skeleton...very odd

I think he started after the Williams fight.

man ill tell you this, when a fighter is caught trying to do those things, no matter what he says otherwise, the fighter deserves to have his whole career question due to the fact that his act could end lives. So No Matter if he did or didnt, he deserves to be questioned, this aint no 3rd strike rule, the 1st strike could kill people and it ended(imo) Cottos career to a certain extent. But to tell you the truth i was a huge huge fan of Margarito back in the day, ever since he beat martinez i was following him, the Johnson, Kyvelos, Cintron, Clottey, Cintron 2 wins were a huge impact and he topped my favorite fighter list, then the Cotto fight, that really assured me this guy was gona be a great, i had him beating everyone at that point, so its sad and good in a way he got caught, bad because he couldve hade a hell of a career if he was clean, and good beecause if he was caught once he would do it again if he got away with it.Cheaters or "Potential" cheaters dont deserve the spotlight no matter what.

I don't think it was his first time. There was some fishy stuff said in his corner in the Cotto fight, and looking back through his career there may be more of that talk. Someone would have to have the patience to go through all that though. Glad Mosley knocked his ass out. I believe Cotto cracked Tony and Shane obliterated what was left of his chin. Any heavy puncher he fights now will hurt Tony.

There would need to be a reason to cheat. So after one of his losses. Since he beat Cintron quicker the first time i would say after losing to Santos. Or because of the stupid mistake pre mosley fight losing 2 lbs he didn't need to. So he felt he needed to get back something and used the plaster.

People who answer no have the intellect of those who frequently are on the brink of losing their life after choking on their spit. Why would he cheat against a supposedly washed up Mosley, who looked terrible against Mayorga in the fight before, but think that he only needed his ability to beat an undefeated Miguel Cotto, who was P4P ranked, in a make or break fight for his career as a relevant, elite fighter? It's just SOOOO stupid that anyone thinks that Mosley was the first time that he cheated.

Honestly, although theres no actual evidence i honestly believe he had loaded gloves against Cotto, he came from behind to dominate and hurt Cotto with every punch he threw, that **** seemed suspext before he got caught then when he got caught for me i was sure he used them in that fight. In other fights i dont know but he was very dominant before he got caught then after he got caught he hasnt looked to dominant, but who knows, i cant be proved but his will have a dark cloud over his legacy forever..

I think it was his first time because we know Mosley can take a punch and would have fared better by trying to whether Margarito's storm that most, if not all, of Margarito's opponents.

I think I can get some more red for this, but... After what happened before the Mosley fight, it is quite "obvious" for me that Margarito used some illegal things in his gloves in the Cotto fight. Of course I cannot be sure, but it was weird, how Marg (never a big puncher) destroyed Cottos` face in some two rounds (I mean he was really landing some power shots in just two of the 11 rounds). Now take to consideration that Cotto always engaged in wars in his previous fights, but I don`t remember any time, when his face was such a mess... I know that many people here consider Kermit Cintron a certified cry-baby... But, he said that he had never been hit before like in the II Marg fight... Marg "bulldozered" Cintron in that fight in some 6 rounds. So I think Marg could have cheated in that fight also... And one more thing... In his comeback fight he was landing shots all night on the head of Garcia, but Garcias` didn`t look like it was going to fell apart...

Yeah those guys also didnt load u their gloves. What is meant is that being a Favorite doesnt give you the win. There was merit for him wanting to load his gloves against a man like mosley

So was DLH over Pac and Dawson over Pascal Yeah those guys also didnt load u their gloves.

Why the hell did he cheat anyway he was already favore big time over Shane. So was DLH over Pac and Dawson over Pascal

I see alot of non sense on the boards especially with a dumb Gomez and Sanchez thread. How many of you think that January 2009 was Margs first time trying to cheat? Hell if Nazim didnt have the eye of the tiger this bastard would still have his gloves loaded. Poll to come. Do you think that was first time. Yes or No. stupid thread...

Obviously not. Before getting caught Margarito was unstoppable. Then he gets caught before fighting Mosley, Mosley proceeds to completely destroy Margarito. He gets banned, in his come back fight he fights a bum and can't even knock him out. I think he has been cheating for a long time.

Why the hell did he cheat anyway he was already favore big time over Shane.

this is a shame

dude, even if you've really started here since feb 2010, this **** is old. Holy shiit 21,000+ posts since Feb? Wow

dude, the "DID MARGARITO CHEAT? " THREADS ARE ****((NG OLD. oh wait, im trying to talk with somebody that has posted 21thousands times in a couple of months, obviously I wont be able to get things through your head. you win. Is all that called for? You dont like the thread dont post in it.

I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that he used them on Cotto. I can't really say if he had before that, but I'd bet all my money of that fact. I mean c'mon, he tried to use them on Mosley, who was beat by Cotto. Why the hell wouldn't he use them on Cotto as well?
