Yes or No: Mosley and Margarito should be banned from Boxing?

[Mersey]

No because they will never cheat again. And if they don't fight, boxing is cheating the fans.

They are both great to watch and both great for the sport.

[sNiTcH]

they deserved another chance

[-EX-]

Margarito should be...

[Mr. Philadel]

Obviously you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. You have a picture with some blood on his handwraps, big deal. The wraps were examined and were passed by not only the NSAC, but Cotto's camp. You haven't got any plaster, you haven't got the wraps. All that leaves you with is speculation. Try again.

....that killed it!!!

They didn't suspend him they revoked his licence, if you get your licence revoked there is no promise of reinstatement only it is possible after that year is up.

Ok, but it was ONLY California that revoked his license. Why should there be a problem with Texas letting him fight there? They upheld California's ruling yet are under no obligation to keep him banned. He's served his sentence.

Why should any attempted cheater (in that way) be allowed to obtain a licence in any state, they are under no obligation to give hima licence.

The only reason he is getting a licence is that it is a weak commision and money is greasing the skids, if that is cool with you whatever but that is suprising given past things you have said to me.

Why should he not? He's done his time and he is branded for life. Why take more from the man?

Such as?

I voted No, but don't be a hypocrite.

If you think Margarito should be banned for life then you have to say the same for Mosley.

I think Mosley's crime was actually worse. He actually did cheat during his fights. The only thing Margarito was caught for was attempting to cheat, yet he got the worse penalty.

Do I think Margarito could have cheated in his previous fights? Probably, but I'll only go with the facts and not speculation.

Just suprising given how you feel about the sport, that would would support a cheater like this, I find it odd.

I use to like Margarito, but not any more. He probably cheated against Cotto and he's played ****** after getting caught against Mosely. But he's done what he was told to do by not asking to be reinstated until after a year. He's done his time. He could have fought in Mexico but didn't. He accepted what was given to him. With no other proof its just time to move on and let him fight again. He'll never be able to get away with cheating again, will always be under scrutiny, and I would bet when he comes back he won't be the same fighter. Thats enough for me.
