The Persecution of Antonio Margarito

[nachomas4]

Simple and obvious. Resto caught after a bout (damage done). Margarito caught before bout (no physical damage done). Does that make it ok? No. Could the result have been just as bad or worse. Sure but he needs to punished (and was) for what his camp actually DID not for what didn't happen.

I'm no longer a Margo fan but I would like to see Cotto Margo II

Restos did the crime and paid the time and Margarito committed maybe a lesser crime, (see margarito vs cotto) but a slap on the wrist is hardly addressing the issue. he might just damga what could've been an incredible carrer in that of Miguel Cotto and who knows how many others. Cintron was quoted as saying that he's never been hit that hard. When rinidad was acussed of wrapping his hands illegally I felt shame and although I loved the fighter he was I always said that his power was suspect since that episode, but plaster in your gloves is a whole other world

The first time. Its happened millions of times throughout history.

exactly, so what's your point now, huh? it is very much likely that when margarito got caught he had done it at least once before, if nothing else you can admit to that much right?

Thats the same waaa waaa who jumped out of the ring on purpose.

That has no credibility.

The point is this,

it could have very well been the first time. I don't have a problem saying it couldn't have been either. I don't swing from his nuts and look at things from one view. I look at all sides.

Thats what separates me from many of you. I can be critical and see the flaws in all fighters, not just the ones my favorites are fighting.

The problem I have with this is that when Resto was caught, the sentence was much heftier. Why not Margarito's?

Can you explain how both incidents are identical? In which Margarito fight was it discovered that the damage inflicted on his opponent was caused from illegal substances in his wraps? Further more, which incident, which you are referring to, resulted in the end of a fighter's career?

It is a whole other world but regardless of all the other points outside of the mosley fight nothing is proven. I know what I think about Margo but the bottom line is can they definitively prove he cheated outside of his camp's attempt in the mosley bout - if there is proof ban him for life. Otherwise unfortunately the "slap of the wrist" issued has been satisfied and completed.

this incident was brought by Tony unto himself. we talked about vindication, redemption, exactment... but what if Miguel honestly believed he was unfairly treated. how can that be reconciled. In my opinion, Tony will get his license eventually but not too soon. In my line of work such a license will never be granted no matter how much money spent to lobby. right now the boxing commission is still in a difficult position to explain it's approval, if any.

i sort of see your point, but just the thought of the Cotto fight and i amalmost sure he cheated

[Motofan]

He's a cheater who could have killed someone, and never owned up to it. Fuuck him. He doesnt deserve to box for a living.
