It’s a weekend where, even if the gaps don’t tell the tale, the gaps are the story. In two of the weekend’s three key fights, the gaps come on the scale. In the other, its professional experience. In all of them, the man who would appear to the naked eye to be the underdog is not.

It was boring 2 years ago when nobody had heard of David Haye. It's the klitschkos that made HW division boring

This scribe is among those who believe Margarito was not cheating prior to the Mosley fight. The evidence just is not there. Men like Joshua Clottey, Paul Williams, and Daniel Santos were or are good fighters. They were hit by Margarito plenty. None reacted as if hit by a cast.

You mention Clottey, Paul Williams, and Daniel Santos, but you don't mention Cotto or Cintron. Why not? Many people think he probably started cheating in the second Cintron fight. His power in that fight and in the Cotto fight certainly seemed to be considerably greater than it had ever been before (or since), and some sparring partners around that time said he was by far the hardest hitter they had ever faced, which he had never been reported as being by anyone before that time.

It also seems odd that he would choose to cheat for the first time in a fight in which he was the overwhelming favourite to win (vs. Mosley) but not in a fight in which he was expected to lose (against Cotto).

And there's also the matter of that bloodstain, which while far from being conclusive on its own, does appear to add significant corroborative evidence against him.

I'm not saying there is enough evidence to prove his guilt prior to Mosley, but it seems to me that on the balance of probabilities, it's highly likely, and at the least, there is a big question mark over the Cotto fight and the second Cintron fight.
