Arum did discuss what Margarito will need to do in order to make people forget about the incident that has resulted in a cheater jacket being hung on Margarito's back.
Arum noted that some have wondered if Margarito had been guilty of fighting with illegal wraps prior to the Mosley debacle.
"There is some skepticism that, did that happen in other fights?" Arum said. "And the only way he's going to get over that is for people to see him in his next few fights. If he's as devastating as he was before, then people won't dwell on it.
"If he isn't, then people might very well dwell on it."
Arum pointed to the situation surrounding Mosley, who was found to have illegal substances in his system prior to his second fight with Oscar De La Hoya in September 2003.
"The same for Mosley," Arum said. "He admittedly took steroids when he fought Oscar the second time. Since then Mosley has been quite a fighter even without steroids; he has been tested so extensively.
"So the steroid issue that focused on one particular fight has now become less consequential."
