They should impose heavier penalties for cement-fists like Marg and Tito

[Devils Advocate]

Wasnt an excuse. Is really sad that fans are defending the likes of Resto, tito, and margarito.....

Tito name shouldnt even been mentioned with Margarito, when Clearly Margarito had bricks in his gloves. Fisher is saying to much tape was on Trinidads knuckle and if your going to try to defend "Droopyied David Reid" and Fernando Vargas realized they were babies destroyed by a beast. Reid couldn't see, Vargas used steriods, Somebody needed to teach Joppy the dangers in dropping that lead right hand before he jabs.

If your gonna accuse somebody at least include the entire article instead of just what makes your claim strong, that being extremely biased and not very insightful.

Every story has two sides. In the case of Trinidad and his hand wraps, the two sides are strongly divided. Those who believe Trinidad cheated site the Hopkins story as their biggest alibi, believing that the Hopkins camp had uncovered the fact that Felix Trinidad was cheating, by fighting with illegal wraps. This in turn, added even more to Tito’s devastating left hook, which to some boxing critics has been a career changer for some fighters. On the other hand, those who oppose the hand wrap story believe the Hopkins camp not only blew the story out of proportion, but they did it to distract Trinidad and take him out of his game, which could have resulted in the lack luster Trinidad performance that night. The opposing party also believes that only guys complaining about the wraps were the fighters, as Maxboxing’s Dougie Fischer put it, who were KTFO’D by Tito.

..Because they are the ones who are really giving boxing a bad rep.

more sad is that others even consider Cheato Trinidad as among the top20 atg... tsk!

first of all nobody ranks tito a top20 atg. that u say so show how little u know about boxing history.

second tito didnt have loaded wraps or cement like fists for that matter. idk why some ******s keep writing he did. margarito put plaster in his gloves, a hard and illegal object intended to cause damage to his oponent. tito put extra gauze on his hands, gauze is legal there its just a certain amount of it u are allowed to use. extra gauze doesnt act as a weapon at all, it just adds extra protection to titos hands. it does give tito an advantage since he can throw without worrying as much about landing at the top os his head or elbows of his oponent but it doesnt make for harder punches. and the use of gauze and other hand wrapping tools is regulated diffrently in diffrent parts of the world, some enforce it much harder than other places. so tito and his corner might not even have known it was illgeal.

kessler did the same thing against ward, he wrapped his hands in a way thats illegal and very similar to what tito did. when wards cornerman said he did it wrong and tried to explain kesslers trainer looked confused cuz they apparently dont enforce that in europe.

tito was the same thing, his dad had to wrap the hands several times cuz he couldnt get it right and didnt know what he did wrong. compare that to margarito who wrapped his hands before one of mosleys seconds had entered to watch the procedure (trying to hide that they were cheating), and when they opened the wraps a hard and completely illegal object fell out of his hands with blood on it.

tito shouldnt be put alongside margarito.

Also from another article.

Joppy believed Trinidad’s hand wraps were equivalent to getting into a street fight with brass knuckles...

Bumping this thread, We Don't want any more boxers to be victims like Cotoo, Joppy and Collins

Stop bumping your lame threads.

[Mr. Mandingo]

Stop bumping your lame threads.

You don't have to reply if you find them lame. My point is that the boxing world should be vigilante about this.

Just how they're vigilante about drug tests. Log off.

[Mr. Mandingo]

NSB, let us dedicate this thread to those promising young boxers whose careers and in effect, their lives were ruined because of dishonest practices by other boxers.
William Joppy and Billy Collins.

There's no doubt they would have made it very big in boxing if only all boxers play it fair.

I thought all that stuff with Bhops and Tito was about his dad wrapping his fists in a manner not in compliance with regulation. There's a big difference between something like that and having illegal inserts in your handwraps.

If theres is something that doesnt comply, its something wrong. And 99% of it is done w/ the intent of gaining unfair advantages.
