I've heard the stories about hopkins alleging that he did..
but I've never heard of him being found with anything out of the ordinary by a commissioner or anything in his wraps. because an ex-con (who isn't very trust worthy) claims something doesn't make it true.
so I just wanted to know if they caught him red handed like they did margarito?

To my knowledge, it was never followed up by the Commission. But I just want to make this clear to you : It wasn't Hopkins who alleged Tito illegally wrapped his hands, it was his trainer Naazim Richardson. You seem to be very hateful of Hopkins for some reason Vick, let it go son. Let it go.

no he wasn't.all hopkins camp had an issue with was the way it was wrapped.see sig.

He was forced to re-wrap his hands for the hopkins fight after ****m Richardson complained about it being taped illegally.

All tito did though was put too much wrap on his hands, which isn't anywhere near as bad as what margarito is accused of doing.

and regarding the tito-hopkins fight, IIRC they gave hopkins the option to wrap his hands the same way as tito...he declined and made tito wrap in his way

I talked to William Joppy before his last fight and he brought up an issue that Trinidad's people wrapped Tito's hand illegally and that is why he lost. He said that your people caught Trinidad illegally wrapping his hands. Can you tell us what happened?

I tell you, Ike. They have been getting away with that for a long time. I sent my people to Trinidad's locker room to make sure everything was right. When they got there they came back to me and told me that Trinidad's left hand was wrapped before they got there. So, I had to go over to his dressing room myself, this is my business and I have been doing it for over 50 years. When I got there I told them to unwrap the hand and do it over because we need to see the hand being wrapped. They refused to unwrap the hands so I told them I guess the fight will not happen then, we can reschedule to another date. The officials came in and said we don't have time to do this over. I told them, well we must do this right or no fight. They know the rules, no tape on the skin or tape on the ankle. His left hand was heavy just like your camera. Guess what, the officials then said you can go and wrap Bernard hands anyway you want. Trinidad's father and his people didn't want to make the change because they knew they cheated and they tried to cover it up by asking me to wrap Bernard's hands anyway we wish. I wasn't going for that, we have to do this right, they raised hell like you couldn't believe. I said you can do it your way, but there will be no fight if you don't do it right. They said we are going to leave it as it is, so I told them we can reschedule the fight untill next week. They didn't want to do that. This is why we had a delay coming out. When they saw Bernard they tried to ask us to take off just a little tape, but they had a half roll of tape on Trinidad's left hand. This is why people say he has a good left hook. David Reid paid a big price, Trinidad took away the fighter in him. David Reids people were trying to schedule a fight with Bernard and it could have happened if Reid would have won his last fight. I'm glad it never happened.
