Gloves. Somebody could die from that ****.
Which is more disgraceful to the sport? Biting, Loaded Gloves or Steriods?

A lot of people probably don't know this but Evander Holyfield once bit a guy in the amatuers, then years later gets his ear bit off by Mike.
Tony and Tito both got caught trying to cheat against Richardson's fighters.
Shane and Fernando both felt they needed to juice to beat Oscar De La Hoya.

Few things (and I know they have already been brought up).
1. Trinidad didn't load his gloves, he just had an illegal tape job.
2. You don't just inject steroids and become strong, they assist you but you still have do some work, while loading your gloves do have the immediate effect that you want in that when you land your shot of equal strength of your opponent yours is better because of the illegal substance. They are both cheating but glove loading is like brandishing a weapon of sorts.
3. Can we please get past these type threads? I mean really Toni fans, all the above mentioned are cheating, and even if steroids were considered "worse" that doesn't make loading better.
Others cheating is not a justification for your man cheating. To say Fighter A cheated and didnt get in as much trouble means that Fighter B shouldnt get in as much trouble for cheating is totally incorrect. It just means officials ****ed up by not punishing Fighter A worse. Its not "fair" but it does not mitigate Fighter B of the responsibility of what he did.Comment

If you have such a problem with the US you can always take your greasy azz to your beloved mexico.the us has accepted steroids as a way to compete so this is a bull **** option, its loaded gloves, the US sports is filled with American roiders, if they werent roiders in their home country, they became roiders as soon as they got to this country, the americans support steroid use, look at the poll, all 3 options are cheating and threaten lives

Tito had a CAST made from layer upon layer of COMPRESSED TAPE AND GAUZE..Few things (and I know they have already been brought up).

He also had tape DIRECTLY ON HIS KNUCKLES..also ILLEGAL.
Not only that..
He had his LEFT glove taped before the officials arrived.
Tito is just as much a b*tch as Tony..he even threatened to pull-out of the Hopkins fight if they made him rewrap his left.Comment

No see thats not loading gloves. Trinidad alternated multiple thin layers of tape and gauze (creating what has been refered to as a concrete/cinder block/bell wrap), instead of the usual 1 thick layer of each . Yes it is highly illegal and he should have been penalized further for it, but its still not loading as it was still all tape and gauze. Maybe its semantics as both offer the potential to hurt your opponent, but its not "loading" which implies something foreign was involved.Tito had a CAST made from layer upon layer of COMPRESSED TAPE AND GAUZE..
