Comments Thread For: Margarito Makes Mosley Look Like George Washington

[n0b0dy]

atleast Margarito is sticking to his Story, unlike Mosley who lied, did a lie detector tes and threaten to sue only to be seen on a leak video confessing he was a CHEATER.

[Thread Stealer]

Mosley passed a lie detector test that was administered by his own lawyer.

What questions exactly did Burstein ask Shane? It could've been more about Conte than Mosley. Or he could just ask Shane "did Conte tell you that it wasn't a banned drug?" And Shane's not lying when he says yes, Conte told him it was on the banned substance list, since BALCO made drugs that were supposed to be undetectable.

If Margarito admitted those things mentioned in this article, he would have been stripped of all his boxing titles and banned for life and possibly, had several civil suits filed against him from Cotto and Cintron (among many others). Whether he did cheat previously or not, the bottom line is he is due at least a million dollar payday for the Pacquiao fight. That payday would have never come had he admitted to everything mentioned in this article. I have no idea what this author was thinking when penning this article...

Oh come on! The cover up got him? Give me a break. It's the dangerous nature of his cheating and the fact that he likely beat another top fighter half to death by doing so in a prior incident that makes everybody hate him. Nobody really expects him to admit to something that heinous, and his suspension would last longer than it currently is if there wasn't at least a little doubt that he was ignorant or the situation.

Mosley got lucky because performance enhancing drugs were so ubiquitous by the time he got caught that most people don't care any more. They've seen literally hundreds of baseball players alone get away with it. Plus the fact that the drugs only make a fighter a stronger or more well-conditioned version of himself. A guy cheating to make himself a better fighter internally is more palatable somehow than a guy essentially hitting the other guy with brass knuckles for 12 rounds. Mosley only gets a pass because he's a friendly guy, American, and got caught in a way other than red-handed. Margarito's a big foreign beast to Americans, and Mosley's a likeable American athlete. I wouldn't be surprised if the average Mexican fan views Margarito with approximately the same respect with which the average American views Mosley.
