“Fighting Words” – Punishing Margarito: A Year or A Career?

[vitali1999]

For life

We had a manos de pedra, now we have a monos de plaster, whats plaster in spanish. He should be banned for life because this is not the first time he has done this, just look at his past opponents and you see how quickly they got blood and busted up. After his hands hardened this was when you started to see alot of blood, i was scratching my head durring the Cotto fight and axeing myself how did Cotto get busted up so quickly, usually it takes progression to show that kind of hurt. But i found out why just before the Mosley fight started. He should definatly be banned for life. No doubt about it. He's put alot of hurt on alot of fighters that was not nessisary.

I think people saying a life time ban is too much is because even though he got caught with bricks in his hands he never really got to use them and we don't have any evidence that proves he used them on other fights (But we all know he most likely did) something tells me he will fight again because he never got to "use" the bricks so they will let it slide and maybe in a few years let him fight in the states.

I say **** that cheating bastard he should get banned for life.

See here we go my ass...Its two different cases...plus that **** was years ago...I'm not the one who made the damn ruling...Why dont you write an article to the commission..

You fucking crybaby!

Stop defending this cheating prick....No body is defending Margarito for what he did....at the end of the day they're both cheaters....

[Mickey Rawk]

Hell, I'd sign a petition if there was one online, to get him banned for life.

Here you go...When did I defend Mosley? I'm just clearly stating that you Margorito nuthuggers bringing in others like its going to ease the pain on Margorito...You dude serioulsy make me laugh..Grasping for straws whenever you bring up a case that has been already resolve...Like I said before if you dont like the verdict that Mosley got, write a petition!

Not trying to justify cheating on any level but what tony tried to do and what shane tried doing are two completely different things. Tony in a very direct manner attempted to cheat, thats as straight forward as it gets. Shane did it in a more indirect fashion. His case is a totally different thing, he wasn't attempting to club fighters with plaster. In the end the only thing they share is that both attempted to cheat but thats where the comparison ends IMO, Resto and Panama lewis is the more accurate/valid comparison. Again I don't condone cheating by any means or on any level, if any fighter cheats they deserve to be punished.

fighter, and trainer each deserve a permantent ban from the sport.

I agree and they both should be punched in the face 50 times with concrete gloves!

I don't know but I rather fight a guy at my weight on performance enhancing drugs than a guy with brass knuckles!

[bobbyb363]

its possible that margarito didn't know what was happening... he doesn't look like the smartest guy around

Possible but after his fights and his gloves were unwrapped you would think that that brick like pieces hitting the floor would make him scratch his head at least once or maybe he believes his sweats concrete...who knows?
