      He came on very strong in the late rounds against Paul Williams. Williams won round 1-7 easily, then all of a sudden Margarito was able to hurt Paul, something he wasn't able to do early on. Keep in mind, he also K.O'd Sergio Martinez, this guy might have worked his way up cheating for all we know.

      Again, this is just an opinion, I wouldn't throw around as a fact.

          Please don't belive the HBO segment saying his career was over after the lost...If Zab can come back, you best belive Margo was not done after that loss.

                I think it's safe to say.. that if he tried to use them against the guy who lost to the guy he beat.. Then he probably used them against the guy he beat as well..

                  Nevermind Larry...You just don't get it.

                  no one, NO ONE, but the haters held the losses as a teen against him. Paul Williams was his first loss in like 12 years...

                  Why cheat?

                    its possible and probable, but there's no evidence. we only know that he attempted to cheat against mosley. we don't know anything else about prior bouts, especially because he was never caught before by boxing commissions or other trainers who are allowed and expected to be present during the handwrapping.

                    I don't. I happen to think the guy is a top notch boxer with skills.

                    Carry on.
                    I think he was a limited brawler with a granite chin.
