    Outside of the Mosley fight, everything else in the past is based on conjectures or assumptions. No matter how Cotto's face looked like as if he got hit with a cement block, there was no proof. So everything else before Mosley is up to any assumptions. You can claim 1 fight, or 10 fights before Mosley because it can be assumed. It doesnt mean if you have something in your gloves you can KO your opponent from the onset. Look at Cotto, assuming the gloves were loaded, Cotto lasted until the 11th.

    Again, we can argue this for all its worth, but is Margacheato worth the argument? NO.
    Freddie Roach says he can tell which fights Margarito cheated in after repeatedly watching his last 8 fights in preparation for Pacquiao's bout. Sure, it remains speculative, but it's a subject which should be explored. It is worth the argument imo. Margarito's return to the ring after being caught cheating sets a monumentally bad precedent for boxing as a sport.

    Load your gloves, give yourself a massive advantage in the ring and put someone's life in real jeopardy, the worst you can expect is around a year suspension. After that you get propelled into one of the biggest paydays of your career... Not the best deterrent IMO, Margarito should have been banned for life and jailed.

      It could certainly be perceived that way imo. And, as a result, Williams might be one of the few boxers in history to defeat an opponent who was wearing loaded gloves!
