That's fine , it certainly doesn't absolve Mosely from his own cheating , to me though plaster in the wraps is orders of magnitude worse than juicing , and juicing is pretty bad ?
Margacheato was caught red or should I say PINK HANDED . I don't know when he started doing it so I have to assume that it was happening for his whole career.
He should be wiped from the record books and history of boxing as if he never existed.
Maybe Margarito learned about Mosley's steroids cheating before the fight and had to figure out a way to combat the corruption instead of canceling the fight?
Thanks for the conspiracy theories but I live in the real world. In the real world, Margarito got busted with gypsum in his wraps. There's no if's ands or buts , That's what happened. Capetillo took the blame and was banned for life and Margarito should have been also but Capetillo covered for him and Margarito only got a bull**** one year suspension.
- - U busted at birth with a noggin full of gypsum that can't bust a soap bubble.
BALCO Shane was a guaranteed Cheat in his Oscar fight that Oscar clearly won, but dirty Vegas Commish wanted to put Oscar down because he was Bigger than Boxing in his heyday...
Mosley has never said a word about it. Perhaps because he was cheated even worse with steroids and fought like prime Tyson Ray Leonard where in his previous two fights he looked like a six rounder.

Mosley didn't complain about the wraps because Naazim Richardson caught the loaded wraps BEFORE the fight . Margarito was made to rewrap his hands and the original wraps were taken as evidence and were tested.
The wraps that were taken off of Margacheatos hands had knuckle pockets filled with gypsum. There's nothing to buy or not buy , those are facts.

Shane turned marg into prison itch
- - Margs wraps were in public view on the training table for any visitor to see. Commish already signed off on one wrap when Brother ****m entered and threw a fit.
Wraps showed plaster crumbles, but what Marg and his trainer Javier Capetillo were trying to do was create a disturbance to the fight odds where Marg was a big favorite over Mosely to let the fans know Marg was not right for this fight.
A few days before the fight, Marg had emergency eye surgery and shouldn't have been in the Ring. Net result fight fans got a chance to use Mosely bets to cover their Marg losses...

I’ve been to many conventions over the years and two guys really stand out.
The first, Badou Jack, I’ve never seen that dude charge for a photo, autograph etc, he’s the only fighter I can say that about too. Seems a real genuine guy who cares about his fans.
The second, Marco Antonio Barrera, especially with younger fans, I’ve seen Barrera on his knees sparring with kids pretending to be KO’d etc. Seems a really nice guy.
I've met a lot of fighters and people in the boxing world. I haven't met anyone who wasn't really nice and friendly. Jermaine Taylors mom and wife Erica were some of the nicest people who I met , The Berto family including Andre were super nice too. Meeting Roberto Duran and hanging out is one highlight that I will always cherish. Roberto , if you are reading this , the t-shirt that you gave me lost all of the gold glitter when I washed it , can I get another one please ? Gracias. Steve Farhood was shocked that I recognized him. That was back when Sho-Box was just starting up. Sharmba Mitchell bet me 10k on the Trinidad / Joppy fight that I am still waiting to collect.
He's actually a nice cool guy. Humble. He got cheated out of the shot vs Floyd which he earned. Floyd was scared of him. I don't buy the wraps BS, Mosley was steroided out of his gord and never once complained about the wraps. Margarito would have slaughtered Floyd in 2004.

I met Butterbean 20 years ago. He's obviously nowhere near as popular or famous as many of the boxers previously mentioned, but he's the only one that I've ever met. It was a pleasant experience. Great dude.
I've met three boxers and one trainer.
Ricardo Lopez (I was intoxicated at the time but my fuzzy memories are pleasant), Razor Ruddock (nice guy), Thomas Hearns (also nice, but kind of aloof conversationally), and I met trainer Richie Giachetti twice as he was a somewhat close friend/acquaintance of an extended family member. Giachetti looked exactly how he lived and if I were to spend a day with him in full, I'd probably be looking for an exit by the final hour, but he was a surprisingly sweet man on the surface and SO. FRICKIN. FUNNY.
I see Diego and David at least once a quarter in the flesh
Stereotypical friendly Mexicans
David cares about fans and is a nice guy. I didn’t expect him to be since he’s easily angered and beefs with damn near every opponent
First sentence out of David mouth when I spoke to him for the first time
“Did you like it ?”
the response of a man who clearly cares about the boxing fan experience
Nice to confirm David Benavidez is a good guy, a true champion of the people. Sensed that he is by his demeanor in interviews on TV, class act. Margarito was too actually despite the smear campaigns to ruin his image. Beefs with opponents - business is business, it's not personal. )
Have met quite a few former and current fighters. Majority are cool and willing to take pics.
Was in Tahoe a few years ago and Ginger was playing at Edgewood. I screamed "no tienes miedo, pelea con Benavidez"
HIs people didnt like it and told me to go to hell lol
Chickens.hit got his comeuppance by getting embarassed by Bud
Boxer recognizing hack
Look for fighting age males running alone in the morning usually before 9 AM
Often Mexican or Black usually Mexican
dressed warmer than people who are running just for health and exercise
You can just feel it if you’ve done some training before yourself
their running tends to be slower
Diego the type of morning runner who will go the extra mile and smile as you run past him
my overall experience with boxers has been good whether they be elite pros or amateurs
disciplined and focused hardworking people
