This is the last time I discuss Margarito's knowledge of and possible past use of illegal pads and wraps as there are more than enough threads. That said I have not seen this spin yet so food for thought
Margarito has asserted time and time again that he knew nothing of the illegal wraps that were confiscated before the Mosley fight. There seems to be a lot of discussion over whether he is lying or sincere so lets take a logical look at both scenarios and make some best guess assumptions about his past performances.
If Tony was telling the truth it infers that
1. He could not tell if the wraps were illegal and that the illegal pads were inserted. This means in all his past fights he does not posses the ability to state whether his wraps and pads were legal or not. Best case scenario is probably a 50/50 chance he was loaded or clean.
2. If he is lying and was a complacent and consenting party to the wraps and pads this obviously paints a much darker picture. One would have to assume that everything that has come out of his mouth was likely a lie. The possibility that he has used illegal wraps and pads before increases a lot. You have to wonder when he wasn't using them.
So either way to me indicates a good chance that he loaded in the past fights. You do have to say though that the guy has a big heart, exciting style, iron chin and a good boxer and body puncher.
