Has anyone ever thought that maybe Margarito has been cheating his whole career?

[Las Vegas,]

I doubt he loaded up for Mosley ONLY, I know he did for Cotto, Clottey and Williams. It would just make sense.

He landed more than 1,500 punches against Clottey...if he had plaster, then Clottey must be god.

He never cheated, and was never caught doing anything.

All he had was old guaze and lotion.

If you were about to fight and had cotton balls in your glove that would be considered illegal substance and you would be labeled a "cheater" dispite the cotton balls having no effect in the fight.

Fuck the TS, this is a clear hate and bait thread towards Margarito.

You people aren't even real boxing fans, those who talk down upon Margarito.

LOL, LOTION!!!! LOTION?????? Dude I know your probably Mexican, but come ON!!!!

Thats like me saying that Roy Jones or Mosley was only using Motrin aspirin.

[jrosales13]

So you feel that if he felt that Mosley was a threat...then he must have felt that Cotto, Williams and Clottey was a threat also?

No that's not what I'm saying.

I seriously doubt that he used loaded gloves against Clottey or P-Will. Or they would not have been standing at the end of the fight.

There was special circumstances going into the Mosley fight. That there wasn't in going into the others. Which makes me believe that the Mosley fight was the first time.

However, if he did load in previous fights. It would have to be after the P-Will fight.

So, do you think, in your opinion, that he beat Miguel Ángel Cotto Vázquez fairly?

I'm not Mexican.

Jones Jr and Mosley are known cheats.

Margarito isn't.

Do you even know what guaze is used for?

Officials found what one doctor described as plaster of Paris hidden in the wrapped hands of Antonio Margarito (above left at the weigh-in Friday) shortly before the welterweight champion's title defense against Shane Mosley (above right) on Saturday at the Staples Center, leading to accusations that Margarito may have been trying to cheat.

According to Judd Burstein, the attorney for Mosley, Margarito had wet pads in the wrapping. Mosley's doctor, Robert Olvera, likened the material to the type of plaster used to make casts.
"It gets hard and mobile," said Olvera, who said he scratched the pad and "flakes of plaster of Paris" came off.

Burstein said he seized the pad removed from the wrapping and another pad found in Margarito's dressing room. Both were placed in a sealed box that was given to Dean Lohuis of the California Boxing Commission for further study.

Burstein said representatives of both boxers "discussed this exact issue" at Friday's rules meeting "and they went ahead and violated it."
After the su****ious pads were removed from Margarito's dressing room, the boxer's hands were rewrapped and the fight went off on time. Because the violation was caught before Margarito stepped into the ring, Margarito's camp will likely be subject to little more than a disciplinary action if the substance is found to be illegal.

Nazzim Richardson, the trainer for Mosley, was the first to notice something unusual about Margarito's wrap job and asked officials to take the tape off. That's when the foreign substance was discovered, seized and placed in a box for investigation after the bout.
"That's a serious offense," an official with Golden Boy, Mosley's promoter, said. "That's cheating."

Mosley was informed of the discovery before the fight, Burstein said. According to the lawyer, Mosley said he took that as evidence that Margarito "was scared" going into the bout.
Todd duBoef, president of Top Rank, Margarito's promoter, shrugged and said he was told only that "additional gauze" had been taken off his fighter's hand wraps.

In case you also don't know, fact is Margarito was slapped with a one-year ban after being caught with a plaster-like substance in his gloves prior to a 2009 fight against Mosley.

So, do you think, in your opinion, that he beat Miguel Ángel Cotto Vázquez fairly?

Yes!.....

In the Cotto fight, it is funny how people forget that Cotto took several uppercuts in the corner in the second round. Those uppercuts broke his nose. Cotto has never been known for his stamina. He was in retreat the whole fight.

Thus, the injury to his nose swoll cause of his breathing. Also, people fail to understand that Cotto only suffered a cut over his eye later in the fight. That made everything look worst.

Lastly, Cotto went to the Mark Ehco Party about a week and a half later, and only had a very small bandage on his eye, and no swelling...Margo had to wear sun glasses for months.

Cotto was landed on more in that fight (head and body) than any other fight he had been in. Not to mention, Cotto is a sucker for the uppercut...What is margo's best/favorite punch? You guessed it!

Margo's will, won over Cotto skill. Period.


On A Side Note: Remember shortly after the fight, Rican radio station released infomation that Margo was on steriods? Well they did. There was an article here about it, and it was posetd by many Cotto stans. My point is, people were looking for any excuse why/how Margo won. The Mosley fight gave them just that.

Spare me the copy and paste.

I've seen the same bullshit for the last 2 years already.

There's a difference between plaster itself and elements of plaster.

H2O=Water

Hydrogen X 2
Oxygen

Us humans breathe oxygen, which is a element of water.

Does that mean we breathe water? No.

Yes!.....

Oo Ok, well thats good that someone thinks that Margarito beat him fairly, I really don't have a opinion on that fight...although Margarito was trying to attempting to be THOR against Mosley.
