    The point here is Margacheato was supposed to the boogeyman at 147 and was “feared” by everyone. After he got DESTROYED by Mosley, he never won another fight. Against any elite fighter.

    This is why I believe he was always a DIRTY fight. Kermit Cintron also stated that Margacheato’s punches hit like a ton of bricks YET they stopped hurting after he got exposed.
    I don’t disagree with that and once you cheat there’s an asterisk above all of your previous wins.

    But that still doesn’t change the fact that fighters can’t then go back and request their bouts to be changed to no contests. It’s not how it works.

      You have to understand Oregonian's agenda here: he's a May-Pac obsessive who chose to 'support' May by passively watching him on a screen and continues the tribal war because it allows him to feel something.

        Oh so it couldn't possibly be the he fought wrong and decided to trade with the wrong guy

          Those were your words.

          What exactly am I supposed to “reread”?
          Wow, I'm going to have to break it down? Ok, while there was proof of Margarito's intent to cheat for the Mosely fight, he hadn't been caught for the Cotto fight. HOWEVER, the tremendous damage that Antonio inflicted on Miguel's face and his look of bewilderment at Margarito's unusual "power", lends itself to suspect loaded wraps were used for that fight too. I hope that clears things up.

            Yeah, he traded with the wrong guy who got caught trying to use loaded wraps in his next fight. Given that FACT, are we to somehow believe that Margarito did not use loaded wraps in his first fight vs Cotto? Interestingly, Antonio's KO streak ended for the rest of his career after getting busted.

              I am in different to that, however, I will just ask, how is it that a decision can be overturned when a fighter fails a drug test? Most recent example was Haney vs Ryan. I get that Cotto’s loss was over a year prior hence status quo remains.

                  Rarely do boxing records get overturned. It happens but very rare.

                    My apologies man! I was so fixated on the “there was no proof of Margarito’s intent to cheat” line that I just didn’t see you were referring to the Cotto fight.

                    You are correct. We are all working on the assumption of once a cheat, always a cheat philosophy.

                    See, it’s not just the cheating part but the way Margacheato mocked Freddie Roach’s Parkinson’s condition makes him a de****able human piece of trash so I just choose to believe that he’s always been a cheat.

                      Finally. Thats basically what I said. Its basically a voided record and thats what other leagues do. And thats why Margarito never beaten another elite figher after cotto. An asterisk near a win is basically a No contest at that point.
