I say that Margarito should heres a quote i got from espn article on Resto's consequences.
"Resto or Lewis never admitted to any wrongdoing in this incident, but both were convicted of several crimes after jury trials. Each served several years in state prison and were banned from boxing for life"
I understand that margarito Got caught before the fight and never got busted prior which I bielieve hes used it in the past. Sicne Cotto was his biggest fight...but back on topic I dont forgive him as a fan of Boxing.
I had respect for him in the past b/c he was a throwback blue collard fight that comes forward and destroys opponents... I respect Margarito's Chin more than I respect Margarito the person.
Hes got it good compared to Resto.

I agree That arum was rooting for Yuri foreman.... Bob Arum doesnt give Cotto the respect he deserves and treats Cotto like a stepping stone for his other top rank fighters..
There was 2 things that proved Bob arums Favoritism.
1. Just watch the pre fight Hype......All Cotto gets is an interview for about over a minute.......ok Cotto Times up....Now its time For the Foreman Back story building it like hes the one thats gonna win and he gets the hero music on backround.
2. Watch Cotto Celebrate with Bob Arum in backround....Bob arum has a fake smmile and had a serious face at times the eyes dont lie.
I am a cotto Fan but I Noticed but I felt like some of his puches were slower being at 154...he still boxed beautifully..... I would like Stewart to add minor ingredients from his Marg fight... Cotto Was Boxing clinic on first 6 rounds and he couldve beaten just about any top welterwghit at that time...maybe except floyd.
i forgot to mention.....it was not a close fight...the only round I scored for Foreman was the 4th round b/c of the 2 clean right hands and a couple of flurries when cotto temporarily let his guard down
