Please list the cheaters in boxing and what their crime was. You can post cheaters from today and from the past. Should all cheating be regarded equally or is some cheating judged more harshly?
I think plastering should be considered far worse than PEDs.
Plastering is essentially bringing a weapon into the ring. Light-punching Luis Resto ****ed a promising fighter's face so badly he had to quit. The fighter then committed suicide.
When have PEDs ever done that?
The bolded part is debatable. The police ruled it to be a drunk-driving accident, not a suicide. Collins' dad says it was a suicide, but he was also lawsuit-happy for a decade after the debacle in MSG.
Mosley steroids, Margo plaster, Jones steroids, Tarver steroids, Berto, steroids, Peterson steroids, Salido steroids, Resto padding removed from gloves, that's all I can think of off the top of my head. There are rumors that Dempsey had hand wraps that were tampered with against Willard, and if you look at the injuries Willard sustained it's hard not to really wonder.
I'd put hand wraps being tampered with a level above steroids, but that's just my opinion.
sad part is , out of those so called cheaters, only 3 got punished...African american fighters get away with everything it seems like..hell, they did'nt even strip petersen for **** sake
does demanding a fighter to come down in weight to fight you in a division where you've already fought at count?!?....lets say you fight Joe Blow at 147...then a few fights later, fight a better fighter than Joe Blow who has a 147 pound title at 145....then right after that you fight another cat at 147 and but tells the the top dude in the division that you'll fight him at 143...is that cheating?
I'm not too mad with the roids issue, most of the guys getting caught just got lazy and didn't upgrade their chemists.
The only cheating that really fizzes me up, was Margo's stunt with the wraps.
Floyd Mayweather Jr cheated disqualification when Uncle Roger decided to enter the ring during the fight to give Judah a piece of his mind, especially without a translator. Betcha y'all forgot this one.
-Golota: biting, low blows
-Capetillo and Margo inserting plaster
-Eder Gonzalez vs Martin Coggi 1, the ref, the time keeper and the officials aported to that fiasco. One of the most blatant ever
Terry Norris vs that Dominican fighter that kept faking injury two fights in a row and won by DQ
Juan Martin Coggi vis Randall 2, Coggi faking to be unresponsive

I don't understand why diuretics are considered to enhance a boxers performance, but then again I'm not the most knowledgeable either. Anyone care to elaborate?
They don't.
But they help you make weight unfairly.

Richardson claims they were putting gauze then tape, gauze then tape. Supposedly with sweat and water that form of wraps hets really hard. Hopkins also claims that sometimes they dip them in water before the fight, something like that.
Edit: i found the quote.
great post man!
There's so many ways of cheating, some just use dirty tatics, others use things like doping and other things to give them an unfair advantage.
I see the same things in other sports and it ruins them.
If you do anything 2 wraps or gloves you shouldn't be able 2 box again. Quick question does steroids improve your punch power or make u take a better shot (sorry if that's a stupid question but don't have a clue about steroids).
I'm not sure, but I always associated them with increasing strength and endurance. The reason I asked whether one type of cheating is considered worse was because of this. I think we shouldn't take any form of cheating lightly, since most increase the chance of an opponent getting seriously hurt. Especially, in boxing. They make a huge deal in other sports when their athletes get caught juicing.
didn't they make tito rewrap his hands for the hopkins fight cause he wrapped them wrong
I don't know the full story on that one so I don't comment but sure Tito too.
Watch video then tell me who was the dirty one that night...

Panama's removing the knuckle padding from Resto's gloves that inflicted damage to Collings face. He should have been in jail for it for a long time! Now he's been again active and the people who associate with him should be ashamed of themselves. Taking advantage of situations that don't lead to the brutality of a fighter is one thing but when you purposely take part in a crime to hurt a fighter your not only a punk your a coward too!!
I've heard this low life has been employed by Judah's people to prep Zab for the Khan fight, thats pretty damn sad on Judahs account!
I met Lewis at the old Totawa Ice rink that ESPN first used for their live boxing shows and didn't care for the guy very much then. I saw an interview with him recently and he still has the Mr. T gold chain thing going, a real taker not a giver!! Still denies today he altered the gloves, liar!!! Ray
