Tito's handwraps.. how much does it hurt his legacy?

[Sugarr]

How much do the wrongly wrapped hands hurt his legacy?

Keep in mind, for those who don't know what I'm talking about, his trainer/father was caught wrapping his hands in an illegal way (at least in New York) that gave him more power in his punches.

[Clyde Barrow]

Not a tad. This is daft.

[Chew BackAtacha]

when i look at his physique and his punching technique i always wondered how he got that punching power. He ruined Vargas

[Sugarr]

Not a tad. This is daft.

How so? There's plenty of talk about Margarito, why not about Trinidad?

Unless you're Antonio Margarito it doesn't matter in the slightest

Unless you're Antonio Margarito it doesn't matter in the slightest

It was all downhill for Tito after he got busted by the Hopkins camp...the verdict is still not out yet for Margarito....

Correct me if I'm wrong..

[Third Degree MM]

it does hurt his legacy, he is a cheat just like margo and mosley, people just seriously hate margarito because they feel he some how ruined they're beloved cotto, but as many showed cotto isnt indestructible

Well, according to Richardson. The Margarito and Tito incidents were totally different, in the Tito fight they way he wrapped his hands was legal in some places in the US and PR etc. just not legal in NY.

Margarito had attempted to use a plaster gauze, which made his wraps harden.

Heres proof from a Ring interview, It doesn't damage Tito at all

NR: To me, Trinidad's situation was much, much different than Margarito's. What Trinidad did was actually legal in some places. It just wasn't legal in New York. I had the rulebook with me right there in my hand.

The Ring: What happened in Trinidad's locker room?

NR: When I came into the room, I think it was his left hand that was already wrapped. I asked for the bylaws about hand wraps before the fight. I didn't see the hand get wrapped. Someone from Hopkins' camp had to be there to witness the hands being wrapped. I spoke to a commissioner about it. he said that he was there to watch his hand get wrapped. Then I asked him, "Do you work for the Hopkins camp??" I think I asked him twice. He said, no, so I told the commissioner I wanted to see Trinidad get his hands wrapped again - both of them.

Before you know it, Papa Trinidad flipped out and went off, and people in the room started threatening me (laughs). They said I was scared. I told them I don't have to fight Trinidad tonight, what do I have to be scared about (laughs)? They were telling me Bernard was going to get knocked out. I didn't want to budge from what I knew was right. If something happened to Bernard, and something came out later about Trinidad's hand wraps, I would have blamed myself. It would have been because I didn't do my job.

Richardson even said in an interview the Tito deal and Margarito deal were two separate situations. They found substances in Marg's wraps. They complained how Tito's tape was put on, not that he was packing anything inside.

It doesn't hurt it at all.
