    Margarito has not been accused, he was punished for the cheat. His license has been revoked for a year. Later it was discovered that he cheated the same way on first Cotto fight and most likely in previous fights as well. There's absolutely no doubt that he was a cheat. He belongs in the Hall of Shame.

    Margarito was a rugged fighter, but, nothing special. And many feel he was a cheat. He's not going in the hall of fame. I can assure you of that.

    Youre right he was punished But please tell me when it was proven he ever cheated. Ive asked the CSAC They couldnt provide any. I asked Nazim Richardson what happened to the "PLASTER BLOCKS" he claimed he saw fall out of Margarito's wraps? He wouldn't answer.
    You have an incredible imagination when you say " It was discovered he cheated in the Cotto fight too" When was this ???
    Never Happened. If anyone belongs in the Hall of Shame its Steroid Shane Mosely

    Is Shane Mosely HOF material?? He's a proven EPO steroid abuser. How about The Klitschko's?? Theyre proven too
    How about Jones jr?? He's another proven steroid abuser
    None of them should be in the HOF. Margarito was accused & punished without any proof he'd cheated.
    Margarito beat Cotto fair & square & was going to do it again till the NY doc saved Cotto Quitting AGAIN!!! Buy that MANNY documentary & listen to Manny say after the fight with Margarito
    " That was the hardest fight of my career" As he almost collapsed with the pain in his ribs after the shots Margarito caught him with

    Google "Margarito controversy continues to swirl around Miguel Cotto" (can't post links yet)

    When I say Margarito was a cheat, I'm not in a position to defend Mosley or anyone else. I don't know if Mosley cheated or not. If there's substantial evidence that proves he cheated, he's absolutely not HOF material either. I'm just saying even if Margarito's opposition has cheated at any point, it does not neutralize his cheat, sports doesn't work that way. If you cheat in a 100m sprint and finish the 1st, the guy behind you cheating you doesn't make you a champion, it just makes you both disqualified and makes the next non-cheating athlete the champion.

    Well if Calzaghe made it, I won't be surprised if Hands of Plaster follows.

    With or without the wraps, its debatable whether he'd ever get into the HOF
