Antonio Margarito Planning on a Ring Return For July

[Tha_Greatest]

I stopped taking you serious after that.


By the way I love Tito.. He was good for the sport. They didn't find any illegal substance though. Just wrapped the wraps a different way.

by the way , who are they, are you talking about the puerto rican boxing commision, they didnt find anything or nothing illegal in or from trinidads wraps, why did the new york commission state otherwise from the hopkins fight

Margarito and Arum diggin their own grave, what a dumbass. Does anyone even care to watch Margarito anymore in Mexico? I thought they were pretty hard on him after the controversy.

[Nesty]

Great for him... I'm even told that officials in Mexico will even accept the illegal wraps!!!! Hey everything for a countrymen.....!!!!!!!!!

I think is a bad move for him, he should take a year off - which happens all the time for fighters in his level - and then come back are reapply for a license. But if he fights in Mexico, I think that they will give him a harder time to get his license back.... Well maybe Arum has a commissioner somewhere in the midstates in his pocket and the license is a sure thing.

Only Mexicans want to see Margarito

Margarito said he didn't even know about the illegal tape, he is just a fighter. Right! Fighters don't watch their hands being bandaged, they read books during that part. Ha! Give Margarito some sparring partners to beat up in Mexico, but no more big paydays. That might keep the Mexicans happy.

For anyone who didn't see the Mosely interview he stated that the wraps were wet when the were taken away from Margarito's locker room. That alone is illegal and intended to give the boxer and advantage as the gauze hardens. Maybe Margarito didn't see the 'plaster' block put in, but he should have felt/seen the gauze being wet. After 15 years he has to know that soaking the gauze in illegal. People that say that Margarito didn't know are calling him double ****** for missing the block and additionally allowing his gauze to be soaked.

While it's easy for us to say that he should abide by the ruling and not fight anywhere, boxing IS what this man does for a living and it should come as no surprise that if he can fight in Mexico (or anywhere else), he's gonna do it.

So by your logic, if I was a bank teller and I stole a roll of quarters and got caught I'd have every right to go get a job at a different bank because that's what I do for a living.

Remember, there's no guarantee that he'll be re-licensed after his supension, or that he'll even get a shot at a big-name, big-money fight. I suppose he's gotta do what he's gotta do. It may be wrong, but that's just the way it is.

You don't think Top Rank would be able to reinstate him if he sits out for the year? I don't even doubt he'll be fighting in the States before year's end. He only hurts his chances to keep the suspension at a year if he fights in Mexico.

And for everyone that keeps saying that he'll be fighting for cents or peanuts in Mexico...look, he might not get million plus dollar paydays, but he'll still make six-figure purses for his fights...which is what he was making here just a couple of years ago.

His last fight in Mexico was in 1999 against a guy with an 8-8 record. I'm no expert, but I bet you he didn't make more than $50K for that.

He's ****ed 20 different ways - you know it & I know it - and it's all his fault.

Agree 100%.

If he fights in Mexico, he can forget fighting in the U.S. for the rest of his career.

Unless they can provide a valid reason not to re-license him, yes he will.

Fighting in Mexco isn't breaking any of his suspension conditions.

i know,Tyson, Czar Amongsot, Mesi, Valero are now currently out of boxing because their ban, lifetime ban

Steroid people cant play sports, look at baseball, every former baseball star is outta baseball, Mosley is serving his time for steroid use

Margarito and Tito are two handwrap cheaters who will never fight in the US again

Good point, Boxeo Borikua

Do you watch boxing? You know this is a site for boxing fans right?
Margacheato was suspended after an investigation...Tito was told to rewrap, no foreign substance.

LMAO..Now thats some funny ****..

??????????????????????

You're implying the u.s. is the only place a fighter can step foot in a ring.

I dont remember implying that simply because I have an education and know a little bit about boxing. But ok? I said I believe Margarcheato should fight in Mexico...see if the repercussions aren't worse.

Margarito said he didn't even know about the illegal tape, he is just a fighter. Right! Fighters don't watch their hands being bandaged, they read books during that part. Ha! Give Margarito some sparring partners to beat up in Mexico, but no more big paydays. That might keep the Mexicans happy.

As harsh as that might seem ....its reality.

[Slimey Limey]

Margarito is an entertaining fighter to watch so I don't mind him staying busy in Mexico.

I watch boxing because I want to be entertained by the great sport. I want Margarito to fight again against the big boys and see him kick some ass or get his ass kicked. It's simply awesome.

I really don't care about this handwrap situation. I want to see a great fight. Period.

[supRa]

let the man fight....
he gotta stay active....
