    Equal. Margarito knew he was doing something wrong. The man has been a pro fighter since he was 15 years old.

      To me...Saying capetillo is more to blame then Margs...is the Equivalent to letting a CEO get away with a handslap and sending a scapegoat to jail...

      Blame should always start at the top and trickle down...and Margarito is the boss man...

        How does one mistakenly put a foreign object into the wraps on both hands?

            People are saying Margarito knew nothing about it, but the guys been pro since he was 15. I'm sure he knows the difference between illegal and legal wrappings.


            There both to blame. And why the **** is Arum even defending him?

              Both! There is no way that u can tell me that Marg had absolutely no knowledge that his trainer was adding illegal substances to his wraps.

                I think at this level of boxing you should know what is being wrapped on your hands. Now weather or not Margarito had anything to do with the actual wrap is debateable but is it his responsability to know whats being put on his hands? Yes it is!!!

                I think thats one of the reasons why he was only given a 1 year ban up to this point.

                People tend to forget that it is very possiable that his trainer may have screwed up his career without him knowing anything.

                  I would blame both of them, the also would leave a doubt in people's mind who would start questioning Margarito's other big wins now, Because if they could try and pull this stuff against a 37 year old fighter who is past his prime in Mosley who say they wouldnt have done that against a prime,young and fit fighters like Cotto,Clottey,Williams or cintron??

                    I think it's unfair to say anything like that since their is no actual proof!

                    Plus if they were using the substance in the other fights why did Tony also have such a less than steller record before the Mosely fight? You would think the wraps would have had more of an impact against other fighters if they were used.

                      Its not unfair for any boxing fan to think he might have done it before prior to him facing Mosley, Am a fan of margarito (Not a major fan) but i wouldnt say its unfair if anyone question his previous fights.

                      How would there be proof??? The commission have alway signed off his wrap as legal in the past and they did so on this occassion as well if not for Mosley trainer.
