    Margarito and the hand wrap scandal...did he use illegal hands wraps vs Cotto

    I am tired of seeing all these threads about other topics and then this issue gets brought up and the thread gets chopped and an argument breaks out with some Margarito fan using a ALT and bad mouthing Cotto and insulting the PR people. I have seen the thread where some pics were posted of the supposed pads that were removed from Margarito's gloves on the night of the Mosley fight. There is a blood stain on this pad. The poster also showed us some pictures from the end of the Cotto fight where Margarito has his left hand raised and it appears he has a similar blood stain in the same spot on the pad or wrap. The poster tried to use this a proof that Margarito used the same illegal hand wraps/pads in the fight against Cotto.

    Now while I agree the actions of Tony and his trainer are suspect now in every one of his bouts. this definitely leaves a big question mark around his recent big wins. Margarito supporters use the Williams fight and try to say well did he use the plaster or the illegal wraps in that fight. What is Williams not fazed by the plaster in Tony's mitts? Truly I say this for Cotto fans and for most every boxing fan we have to move on. Let’s get it out of our system and move on. Cotto has done so. he has no question looked past this and is moving on with his career. he can't let that be the deciding factor in his life. Same for Margarito fans you have to move on. either continue supporting you fighter and try to ignore the remarks made by others.

    I mean face it fellas your man got caught trying to cheat he tried to do something wrong. It is what it is and there is nothing you can do to change it. Either look at one of the many brave Mexican warriors out there that are fighting their hearts out and take one of them as your hero. Worship them and stand behind them just as you did Margarito. They are fighting like true warriors and doing it the legal way. You should support them and forget about Tony for now. Look at JMM or Victor Ortiz Juan Baby Bull Diaz there are so many I can't name them all but these guys are true warriors truly deserving of your support.

    maybe somewhere down the road Tony can come back and fight again in the states. maybe somewhere down the road he will get another shot against Cotto or another top 5 WW and this time he will fight and win and be redeemed then you can come back strong for Tony and stand up to the nay Sayers. I am a Tyson fan true and true. I remember when he first loss to Douglas I was pissed he lost. I got clowned by some but many were just as shocked as I was and they really didn’t come at me too hard. Fast forward to his fight with Evander and the ear biting escapade and I was getting hell about him. People saying he cheated and found a way out of a fight with a true champion. that he was nothing. I tried defending him but really what defense did I have for that. it was a black eye on boxing and cast a big shadow on the sport.

    This is a sim issue and there really isn’t much you can say to defend your hero you just have to deal with it and realize that even hero's make mistakes and they are human. Let it go for now find some other Mexican warrior to worship who deserves your love and support. Like I sad maybe Tony can come back down the road and redeem himself. This is a poll read the options and vote. State you thoughts here and keep this thread. I know we all clown each other about who we support in the ring racial insults are not appreciated. Cotto fans caught a lot of abuse when Tony beat Cotto last July and it is hard for them to lay off this opportunity but try to think if it was one of your favorite fighters who got caught like this how much it would affect you.....Lefty

        There's no reason to believe that he didn't, but there's equally no way to prove that he did. This is the inevitable conclusion of any argument involving this. My vote is just shutting up about it.

            Fellas state your business. If you are going to vote and accuse or defend him make a point to give a reason why you think the way you do. let us get it out of our system and bury this once and for all.....Lefty

              He did it against SSM. That's what we know. He likely did it against Cotto, Cintron and 2 others I forgot.

              And of course he knew about it. Pathetic of him to say that he didn't.

              Jail him for a couple of years and ban the mofo from boxing for life. He did a cardinal sin.

                Nuff respect Bat you always get my respect sir. People got to express them selves coming from Bat he explained what he thinks to be true. Sure there is no way to prove that he used those wraps prior to what he got caught doing but we all have the right to our opinons. Cardinal sin is right goes against everything that boxing is about....Lefty

                    Right sir. I also said that he LIKELY did it before although that really doesn't matter. Fighter Luis Resto got 3 or 5 years behind bars an a permaban for assault with a deadly weapon.

                    Margarito should be punished for (the proven) attempted assault so a shorter sentence to go with a permaban seems about accurate to me.
