    very good article on the double standard for margarito

    Even though they broke different rules, they were both guilty of breaking them. For Mosley it was taking PED's and for Margarito it was making his hands hard as a rock. Let me say at the beginning that I am not a fan of either of these fighters...

    There shouldn't even be a comparison considering Margarito has never done anything wrong and is not a proven cheater like Mosley.

        One took substances to give them more energy in the fight which is CLEARLY cheating.

        one put plaster in his hands who could possibly kill or badly injure the other fighter.

        Margarito clearly did the worse thing. Dont excuse someone who possibly has put other peoples lives in danger.

        That being said, Mosley clearly is a cheater without a doubt and if he could be punished so be it, but out of the two Margarito is clearly the worse one.

          Bro, stop embarrassing yourself.

          Why do even acknowledge that Margarito is a cheater to begin with?

          If you really believe he cheated, you should stop defending him.

            Good read, he made some good points. I think Margarito has been villainized way too much by the boxing world, at least compared to some other fighters, such as Mosley.

              Word. You can't just categorize them both as just "cheaters". They both cheated in a completely different way, one of them doing it in a MUCH more dangerous way.

              So yeah, nice try article. Margacheato can continue to not box and eat a bag of ****s.

                Why should I stop defending a boxer I've been a fan of for years? Yes, he fucked up. I don't deny that but I think its pretty exaggerating on what people are making it up to be with him. I don't know if he used it in a fight before.

                  How did he **** up??

                  I'm still waiting for someone to provide me with ANY evidence he did anything wrong.

                  This was all blown out of proportion by Richardson. I read the reports of what took place in that locker room and it was all instigated by Richardson.

                  I'll never acknowledge **** until I see some damn proof of any wrong doing by anyone in the Margarito camp.

                  But if I really believed he did anything wrong, I would not defend him.

                    Why did he get suspended for one year then? I guess you probably believe Panama Lewis is completely innocent as well then? LOL!
