What does Margarito have to do now...

[mrlopez]

to earn back some respect from fight fans???

I'm a fan of both Margarito and Mosley, and was really looking forward to an all-out war on Saturday. But like most people, I though Margarito would take it via UD. Mosley's performance was amazing and I'm happy for his big win!

So now that Margarito has been knocked off his cloud, and found with that bull**** handwrap thing, what do you all think he needs to do to earn some respect back???

Would another win against Cotto in a rematch do it? How about if the rematch doesn't happen? Would a solid win against Clottey in a rematch help???

Serious answers too by the way please.

#1-Hand wraps should be investigated and if found guilty of cheating, serve his suspension like people who are caught with P.E.D's and other substances do(unlike Mosely, although i dont ever remember him being caught with them in his system after his fight with DLH)...If not found guilty then get over it, take a long rest, and go back to the drawing board....

#2-IMO, a guy standing at 5'10/5'11 and walks around at a normal weight of 175-180+ should NOT be fighting anywhere close to 147, i think he should move up to 154 and make the rest of his career out of it....PWill, Santos, etc are fighters out there that he can fight....

That's true. At the same time, I don't think he should get in the ring with some can either (Golden Johnson ), 'cause that'll just lead to more ridicule from fight fans. How about someone like Luis Collazo? Carlos Quintana? Those guys aren't pushovers, and have the skills to outbox Marg, but they aren't as heavy-handed as Cotto/Mosley/Clottey. Would a win against one of those guys help?

thats a good idea he should fight carlos quintana he would beat luis collazo tho BADLY IMO. even with his great performance against andre berto.

I think as long as he can make weight without any problems, there's nothing wrong with that. Hell, he's not the only one. Doesn't Hatton blow up to the 180s between fights??? And he gets all the way down to 140!

Having said that though, this might be the time to move up to 154. He can go for the a Williams rematch, a third fight with Santos, a rematch with Martinez, etc.

bottom line is something extra was found in his wraps no if or buts about it and also he punished a lot of people before the Cotto fight and none of their faces looked like Cottos did and Cotto has been in battles himself.It makes sense.we will never know but i say he cheated....

Depending on how damaged Margarito is, I think both Quintana and Collazo would give him a good fight...then be broken down in the latter rounds by Tony. Again though, depending on how much he has left.

whats with all this if tony has anything left stuff????


it's not like he's going to immediately comeback he will take a break.
he WILL comeback an dominate and be champion again like he said.

If it's proven that he's been cheating, then there really isn't much he can do.

I wouldn't say that. Cotto actually didn't look that bad...it was the bleeding from the mouth and nose that made it look worse. In fact, it can be argued that Margarito's face has never looked like it did after that fight. So should we assume that Cotto had something illegal in his gloves??? No! That's ridiculous!

Look, I'm not defending Margarito. I believe he (and his team) need to get this cleared up ASAP. If found guilty, pay your fine and do your suspension. If cleared, okay then. Either way, this topic is about what Margarito should do AFTER the handwrap issue is addressed.

The only thing i dont like about is this marg loaded gloves bollocks is it

I hope so too man. It's just gonna be interesting to see what he does have left. You gotta admit, you didn't expect him to take a beating in the way he did on Saturday night. Had he just lost a competitive fight, that'd be one thing, but that ass whoopin was something else!
