Should Magarito be forgiven?

[KingTito]

try and make sense

He was caught loading his gloves. That's terrible, and that would be considered putting a fighter's life at risk. Is that enough sense for you?

I forgive him. I don't let one mistake change everything a man has done. Margarito is one of the most humble guys out there. I have never seen him talk real **** to anyone. To even be humble in this sport is rarity, especially on the level he is. Outside of the ring he's very gentlemanly, and that's a very respectable lifestyle.

Well he did tell Cotto to shut his mouth (there was an article here) and he made fun of Cintron crying in his first loss at the second fight weigh in.

But otherwise he does seem like a fairly humble guy.

Yeah, but there was a big respect between both Tony and Miguel leading up to the fight. Pictures of both of them shaking hands and smiling. Cintron, weeell he's a different story... Kermit is an odd fellow and it's almost hard not to make fun of him, and as much as I'd hate to admit it publicly, I'm a Cintron fan, haha.

[Jack Napier]

yeah
he took his ass kicking by Shane
lost his reputation
lost a year out of his career
he will be watched closely to see about illegal wraps
it's over with, let him prove himself

[frankenfrank]

what "fighters" lives did he put at risk?

Everyone he fought against ?
and you can replace the words risked lives with the better suited : damaged healths and careers.

[frankenfrank]

There's been a few threads on this already. I decided to make a poll. I, personally, don't think so. He put fighter's lives at risk. This is a dangerous sport, and what he did is reprehensible. He doesn't even show the slightest bit of responsibility or remorse. That's piss poor sportsmanship. He disgraced himself and the sport and shouldn't benefit from it anymore. Before you get on me about being a Cotto fan, if Cotto got caught doing that, I would say the same about him. I don't care who you are. You don't cheat a sport as dangerous as boxing, especially the way he did. **** Margarito. I will show no compassion for that scumbag.

As I agree with you , Tito was a scumbag as well in this aspect , you heard of what happened before the Hopkins-Tito fight , did you ?

[BritishBoxing92]

no.....for all we know he most likely would have killed miguel...its bade enough boxing is a tough enough sport as is...cottos still not the same guy he was from that fight and probably still does have some physical damage

[badass316]

No. What he did is one of the taboo's in boxing. Personally, I wouldn't have been against the idea of him not ever being allowed to fight again.

Would I like to see him fight again from an entertainment stand point? Yes. The guy brings the goods every time he fights. It's a damn shame that he found it necessary to cheat though.

[Undroppable]

Margarito's so slow, if any fighter got hit by his loaded gloves it's his own fault. Anyone good would never even get hit.

What? Only Roy Jones has gone a round with out been hit, from the time of comubox numbers began. Every fighter has to take a punch in a fight, loaded gloves would rapidly decline your defence if hit with even a jab.

Its other fighters fault that the guy they are facing is using loaded gloves?
