    it was billy collins fault the he got killed & nobody elses.

    -not his dad; if he really wanted to fight he would fight again. if his dad disagreed he couldve fired his dad. as a fighter you make the decision not anybody else. top rank offered him matches again, & if he passed medical eye inspections, he couldve fought again.

    &

    -not resto;only reason why he felt so emotionally damaged about billy is that he kept the guilty & never owned up to knowing about it until decades later in a documentary.

    Everybody got what they deserved.

    resto's life, reputation, mental state ruined along with his boxing career, banned for life, went to jail, panama banned for life & went to jail. They didnt force billy collins to drink & drive.

    billy sr didnt want his son to fight again so his 60 million dollar lawsuit could be intact, consequently driving his son to alcoholism & his death.

      The irony of this documentary was a little contradicting to the real-life scenario and questions we have about Margartio. I say this because there was a portion in the beginning of the documentary where Bob Arum stated he was outraged that something like this could happen to such a young and up and coming fighter. Yet, he so vigorously defends Antonio Margarito for the antics he pulled at the Mosley fight. It just tells me his integrity and honesty is only good when it suits him and when it gets in the way of marketing and profitability of his stable of fighters.

      Peace.
      You are soooo right. Difference is Arum makes money from margarito. If plaster was another boxer not under top rank arum would be going crazy.
