Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Holds His Position: Ban Margarito For Life!

Oscar modo is to help the sport while the cheater is in for the take. I don't agree with Oscar a lot of times but this time, He's right because the Cheater has never appologize for cheating the sport, The fool still thinks that He can fool the public.
So many athletes have been forgiven, after they faced their demons and showed some remorse.

I agree with what he says but at the same time id like to know what he thinks about other people who have cheated. I hate Margarito as much as the next guy but you shouldnt condem him and just ignore the fact that Roy Jones Jr, James Toney, Shane Mosley etc cheated aswell. There needs to be more harsh penalties for people who cheat in boxing.

A one year ban is just a slap on the wrist. Most top level boxers only fight once or twice a year anyway. It should be something like a lifetime ban for people who do what Margarito did and a very heavy fine and 1/2 year ban (and stripped of titles obviously) for people who test positive for enhancement drugs. I also feel that people who test positive for banned substances and/or do what Margarito did should be denied access to the HOF.

why is that coward pedohpile DLH promoting shane mosley fights if he is so adamantly against proven cheaters?

how can anyone take anything that kunt says seriously?

What is oscar talking about. He cheated the sport that he loves when he took a dive with b-hop and whit the coment that he said after the mayweather fight " it wasn't the night of the jab" did everyone forget that. Oscar needs to cross dressing.

Funny that Oscar by trying to condemn only Tony, made the mistake of being to specific with what type of cheating deserves a lifetime ban. According to DLH any type of tampering with wraps or gloves deserves a lifetime ban. So according to Oscar, Tito Trinidad should have been banned when it was discovered his wraps were not legal. Oscar will never condemn PED users because the odds are that he himself used them. Remember that Oscar refused to release his results for tests taken under confidential status throughout his career. Why is it that Oscar does not castigate Tito for all the fighters' careers he may have ruined (Vargas anyone)?

so what's the penalty for faking being hurt by a weak ass body shot and duping fans for their money?

There should be a lifetime ban for fixing fights.

At worst that is theft. A ban from Boxing for that might be warranted, but only a temporary one and a fine as well. Assaulting or attempting to assault someone in a sport like this in the ways we understand the word to mean is unforgivable.

Oscar has a vendetta against Margarito ever since he ducked him a couple years ago.

How the *** you gonna say ban Margarito, who has never been proven to have actually cheated....yet promote a proven cheater in Shane Mosley?

[any craic lad?]

Will a reporter ever ask him his stance on the Mosley situation as Mosley cheated against him oh waut Oscar promotes Shane that means Shane learned his lessons

Good for Oscar making the honest and frank statements concerning the gutter rat margacheato. Every boxer knew Margo slithered away from this like the snake he is. Oscar's stand on this needs to be applauded and boxing has to rid itself of the vermin like Margocheato forever.
