announces hes coming back right before cotto-clottey. when cotto destroys clottey....margarito will announce there havin a cotto-margarito II

How can he Marg fight Cotto in September? That won't be a year and Cotto said he's not fighting in Mexico. I'd love to see it but i'm not sure how this is going to happen.

[Xyei]

Last night I just watched his fight with Cotto again and it's so disappointing thinking that he probably had loaded gloves for the fight. It was such a great fight, one of the best of the year and Marg ruined it by getting caught cheating against Shane. There will forever be a cloud over that fight now. They were trading almost evenly throughout the fight with Cotto at a small but clear edge. The difference was that Marg's punches were doing more damage than Cotto's. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but it's hard to believe that he didn't know what were in his wraps or that he didn't do the same against Cotto (the biggest, most important fight of his career).

With that said, I kinda think Margarito deserves a second chance because we cannot prove 100% that he knew he was cheating. If on his return, he loses every fight, it will be evident that the loaded gloves played a big part in many of his fights in the past few years.

I think the proof he knew he was cheating lies with every other boxer in the industry who said its impossible to not know what is being done to your wraps. Especially if they aren't always done the same way. Too many dudes stepped up and parroted that for it to not be true.

Antonio Margarito To Make Ring Return: That was the headline today on most boxing websites, and it said it all.

It revealed what most boxing fans have openly opposed.

The return of a disgraced fighter who, in my opinion, should never again be permitted to fight professionally anywhere in this hemisphere.

The article first appeared on the Mexican magazine ESTO website, and stated that the 30-year-old former 147-pound champion expects to be back in contention as early as September.

High expectations, if I do say so, for a guy who is now fully suspected of using illegally loaded gloves over the past two years or more.

The black listed welterweight also brazenly spoke today of how he has been diligently training in hopes of a triumphant return to action this fall.

And, still taking no responsibility for his actions, Margocheato—as he has been aptly named—claims that "the butler did it."

Well, not exactly, but he does put the onus on his trainer—who was also suspended—saying that the illegal substances in his hand wraps were applied without his knowledge (yeah right.)

The exiled fighter also had this to say, "I have not stopped training because this month I will get my license given back to me by The California Athletic Commission."

"My lawyers are working on that now. I will reappear in September. In the coming week, my company will let me know who will be my rival. I would like a ten round fight and then next fight for a world title."

Seemingly without conscience, Margarito further stated, "I do not have a preference, but I want revenge against Mosley," Margarito continued. "I could also fight [Miguel] Cotto (again) or Manny Pacquiao because Mexico would love a Mexican to defeat the Filipino, and that will be Antonio Margarito."

What makes him so confident that his fellow boxers and fans are going to welcome him back with open arms?

A great question and one that will surely be answered in the coming months.

Margarito lost his boxing license and also many of his loyal fans due to these events, but a man who suffered more than anyone is welterweight top gun Miguel Cotto.

The tough Puerto Rican superstar boxer was battered bloody and badly bruised in a courageous losing effort against Margarito last year. This was another fight in which I, like many others, also believe that Margarito was using illegally loaded gloves.

Cotto had beaten Sugar Shane Mosley and was nearing the top of the pound for pound ladder, when he was knocked backward and off by this disrespectful, cheating pugilist.

My opinion, for what it is worth, is that this is a horrendous act committed by Margarito—a professional athlete, which could have killed or maimed one of his unsuspecting fellow fighters.

Furthermore, as far as I'm concerned, the old adage applies here, that is "once a cheater always a cheater."

And if there is a God, and I'm sure there is, I truly hope that he shines down upon The California Athletic Commission and allows them to do the right thing in this circumstance, which would be to deny Margarito his boxing licence.

To further allow this irresponsible, incompetent fighter to continue his cheating ways not only would be putting the life of innocent pugilists in danger, but it would also be a detriment to the sport of boxing.

The return of a disgraced fighter who, in my opinion, should never again be permitted to fight professionally anywhere in this hemisphere.

that's foul....

High expectations, if I do say so, for a guy who is now fully suspected of using illegally loaded gloves over the past two years or more.

***in cheating ass

And, still taking no responsibility for his actions, Margocheato—as he has been aptly named—claims that "the butler did it."

The butler did it...

That's hilarious, I created the name "Marga-cheato" and now it's worldwide.

wow..just wow.....this is sickning..still no appology or ****..margo doest give a ****

It's kind of difficult to feel sorry or shame for something you didn't do isn't it mate?

[2nd Round KO]

I know you don't even believe that Slimey Limey.

There are other ways to get attention around here.

Put some **** in your avatar or something.

Margarito did not cheat against Cotto because his hands were wrapped with wraps provided to him by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Not only that but the entire process was watched and taped by the NSAC.


Margarito battered Cotto fair and square. The writer is too emotion and biased in his writing.
