The Difference Between Trinidad & Margarito...
"Every story has two sides. In the case of Trinidad and his hand wraps, the two sides are strongly divided. Those who believe Trinidad cheated site the Hopkins story as their biggest alibi, believing that the Hopkins camp had uncovered the fact that Felix Trinidad was cheating, by fighting with illegal wraps. This in turn, added even more to Tito’s devastating left hook, which to some boxing critics has been a career changer for some fighters. On the other hand, those who oppose the hand wrap story believe the Hopkins camp not only blew the story out of proportion, but they did it to distract Trinidad and take him out of his game, which could have resulted in the lack luster Trinidad performance that night. The opposing party also believes that only guys complaining about the wraps were the fighters, as Maxboxing’s Dougie Fischer put it, who were KTFO’D by Tito.
But Dougie Fischer did bring up an interesting point. How is it that only Hopkins’s team found out about the wraps, and not the camps of other fighters like Oscar De La Hoya, Fernando Vargas, David Reid, and William Joppy?
In response to the allegations of illegally wrapping his son’s hands, Felix Trinidad, SR. came out saying that he does place a lot of gauze on the hand of all his fighters, but not an excess amount of tape. On the other hand, the representatives of Bernard Hopkins who saw and contested Trinidad’s hand wrapping, tell a different story, saying Trinidad’s hands had four to five layers of gauze and tape, compared to only having a knuckle pad and then tape.

The Trinidad cheating scandal if you can even call it that was a bunch of he said she said bull****. Margarito on the other hand was found GUILTY by a commission. There is a HUGE difference so when someone mentions Margarito automatically resorting to mentioning Trinidad or Mosley regardless of your opinion or what you believe happened in the other matters makes you look ****ing ******. One was found guilty by the boxing commission, the other was based purely on opinion and speculation, and Mosley handled his business took a lie detector test and passed with flying colors. This is not a Margarito cheated against Cotto thread, I'm just tired of ******s who support Margarito pointing the finger with there "Well he did this, and he did this and this other guy did this so Margarito really isn't that bad of a guy".
Margarito was found GUILTY of cheating I repeat found GUILTY.
Trinidad wasn't and neither was Mosley, save your crying for someone who gives a ****.
