There has been a lot of debate over Antonio Margarito receiving a license to box on the pay-per-view undercard to Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey at Cowboys Stadium on March 13. Margarito's license was revoked last February by the California State Athletic Commission. Prior to his fight with Shane Mosley last January 24, a plaster-like substance was found in Margarito's handwraps. Mosley went on to knock Margarito out. Instead of appearing before the CSAC, Margarito had applied with the Texas commission. [Click Here To Read More]

lifetime ban

I think there should be a lifetime ban for people that cheat the sport. Margarita and his trianer shouldnt be allowed in Boxing any more. Its not that he didnt know , because he did. maybe he didnt know the first time when it was applied. But my understanding is that this substance has to Dry then it becomes hard. So doing the fight, the fighter has to realize that he has a hard substance in his gloves, and when they take off his gloves he has to realize it at that time also. Therefore he has to be in on the game also. The problem is also is how many fights did they have with this substance in his gloves, how many men did he fight and beat illegally,who knows. You have to set an example for the rest of boxing, to deter other boxers from doing the same thing. otherwise you are saying its okay to cheat, as long as you dont get caught. Lifetime ban is the way to go here for both, should be the same for steroid users also, its the same crime the same punishment. If you cheat and you get caught, dont look to come back to our sport. Cheaters never get caught the first time, they are normally caught after a long period of time doing this, and thier luck just runs out. Lifetime, Shane should have been banned hisself for lifetime, I dont believe his story also, that why say what he says.

do the crime you do the time

Margarito has lost more than a year of his prime, huge amounts of money and his reputation is tarnished forever. He's paid the price already. Evertime he fights he'll be under a magnifying glass. What point does it serve to keep him out of the sport?

how many matches did he have the substance in his gloves?????
Nobody knows and they are not telling

bull****

Mosley was given steriods and he wasnt aware, Margarito was given illegal handwraps for padding and he wasnt aware. Mosley has a good heart for standing up and letting everyone know it wasnt Tonys fault.

If you fall for that lie, you will fall for anything, they both knew what was going on. But that Greed and Fame has a way of clouding one's judgemnt.

money=power
power=fame
fame=more money
more money =more power

What else do you expect Mosley to say. If he comes out and condemns Margorito and calls for a lifetime ban on him, then he would be essentially calling down the same fate on himself as he as cheated too when he was using HGH. Please spare me the B.S though that both Mosley and Margorito were innocent and didn't know that they were cheating. No way in hell Margorito didn't know that something illegal was going on with his wraps or that they were altered. Mosley knew exactly what he was taking when he was using HGH. Their is a reason he was on the Balco schedule.

Exactly. This is the only logical conclusion. You can't get you hands wrapped without noticing what happens and Mosley defending Margarito is perfectly logical considering his position.

i reckon marg should be given a Second Chance tbh....

as long as the following procedures are taken

-His wraps are Checked Before And After Every Fight
-Blood Tests Before A Fight To Make Sure He Isnt Doping.
-He Pays a Big Fine For Using Wraps...
