Margarito and Mosley?
If you just want to flame don't bother reading the rest.
Putting my argument into point form easier for people to counterpoint.
A) They both cheated. To me cheating is cheating.
B) Margarito's cheating WAS worse as it could cause more physical/permanent damage.
C) They both would of known about. If Pac haters say he knows what Ariza puts in his shakes then Mosley obviously knew too. Marg was looking at the people doing his wraps.
D) Nationality
E) Mosley has had a arguably better career than Marg.
F) Mosley was caught a long time ago, while Marg is still recent.
G) Mosley destroyed Marg.
I can't think of anything else atm. My main reason for this post is that alot of people are saying he doesn't deserve a shot at Pac because he cheated, but Mosley had a shot at Marg and Mayweather when he cheated.
Also I am more of a Mosley fan and when he was caught I was very disappointed. Also I thought him and Mayweather should of fought in 1999-2001 period.
Let a reasonable argument commence, or flame war. I will bet on the latter.
One was admittedly a cheater in a fight and everyone forgave him.
The other was caught before his match, did not have the chance to cheat and was punished thereafter. Never forgiven for the incident.
One's not worse than the other. They're both bad and can damage other fighters.
Cheating is cheating, but steroids are a common problem in all sports, so even though steroids can jeopardize your career and reputation, you can redeem yourself if given enough time, as Mosley has.
Margarito's case is different. How often do you hear of any boxer using illegal wraps vs. the number of positive drug results? It's very lopsided.
What Mosley did can get you fined and suspended. What Margarito did could get you in prison. Pretty big difference
