    If he loses again, people will let it go.
    I do not understand this logic. How are losses translated as vindication?

    I never lose so I cannot relate.

        Nah, not with me anyway. I use to like Margs and gave him the benifit of the doubt right up until the CSAC released their findings. I don't care what anybody says, he's as guilty as his trainer.

          If he were to whoop Cotto decisively in a rematch, he'd get some credibility back. But he'll never get everybody's full respect again. Dude ****ed up big time wit that attempt on SSM.

            Would it not be prudent by some to point out that beating Cotto took the first time may have finished him? A beating worthy of the ones I administer I might add.

              Restore is credibility??? I really doubt it, He would be looked upon like a outcast who shouldnt be touch by the top guys.

              I would love to see what Arum has in stock for him.

                Sure he can, his name has taken a huge hit with this wrap fiasco, I still think this was all blown up out of proportion to just to **** up his career. Nobody likes a Mexican on top of the game and specially a guy like Tony who is not a finesse boxer and therefore seen as a club fighter for reasons beyond me.

                I think the HBO crowd got really bitter after he completely destroyed Cotto, the betting favorite in that fight so they used the whole wrap fiasco to destroy his name and reputation. I have faith in my champ and I'm sure he will pull through and make a name of himself again, he's not that old yet and he's still got some battles left in him.

                If Roach agrees on coaching him he should be in good shape, learn a few tricks and become a better fighter I think. He should also wait out the remaining of the year and try to get his license back, and he should be OK but a lot of haters will still discredit him as a fighter and his wins.

                      Of course he can....people cheat or try to cheat all the time...

                      Mosley, Manny Ramirez, AROD, Sammy Sosa.........

                      Anyone who says no is just probably hating because its a lot easier to confirmn that you're not using plaster, loaded gloves or illegal wrappings than to prove that you're not on steroids......there's all kinds of substances to cover up steroids....but illegal wrappings can be monitored just before a fight.....simple as that.
