    Nah, plastergate ruined his reputation beyond repair. Only family and close friends respect Margo now. Not too many real boxing fans do.

    There was no Plaster & Never was You know that as well as I do. The only people clinging to that excuse are the Mayweather /Canelo groupies They have no other excuse to offer. Floyd showed himself he was afraid of Margarito with his histrionic breakdown, which everyone has seen the tapes of, when Tony merely asked him "Why wont you fight me"
    Youre right though it did tarnish Margarito's reputation & practically destroy his career based on what proved to be a blatant lie. The CSAC should be ashamed of themselves not being men enough to admit they'd been made fools of. Their careers have been tarnished too though by proving they do not tell the truth but we knew that all along didn't we. I know for sure Robert Garcia did not believe Margarito was guilty or he would never have trained him for the Pacquaio fight & have picked Margarito as one of his 4 favorite fighters he ever trained.
    Robert said him & Tony were close almost like family

    If Kovalev would have gone low right back every time you know he would have been immediately DQ'd. Weekes watched Ward bombard Kovs testes & ignored it Watch the tape as an unbiased fan & you'll see

    No, it woulda brought attention to the blows and they woulda stopped. Just like the pac horn fight. You cant just allow cheating to happen. you have to cheat back.

    This is the tape Braindamage needs to watch lol I was at ringside at most of those fights & not one of those fighters queried Margarito's wraps at the time, not even Cotto,Cintron or even Martinez. It wasn't till that fiasco with Naz Richardson's ludicrous claim about Plaster blocks that Cotto started his claims then Cintron jumped on the band wagon. Sergio Martinez backed up Margarito when they started their BS he said he didn't think their was anything wrong & was just beaten by the better fighter on the night .. Tony proved it with Cotto2 Cottos face was beaten badly then but the NY doc saved him by stopping the fight, not for Tonys eye damage but for before Quitto Quit AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!! Its time a public apology was made to The Tijuana Tornado for the wrongful accusations made against him with absolutely no proof whatsoever
    Hang your heads in shame

    I posted the picture of the wraps with the string on it. You can clearly see it’s strong and not a crack. Nobody ever ever ever responds to it because they know, it’s freaking string. BuT hIs WrApS wErE cRaCKeD.

    I admit Margo whooped Cotto, but the truth is, he is know for the loaded gloves situation, regardless of innocence or guilt. I'm just posing the question, is Margo known more for the Cotto fight or the gloves.

    I know, you and I have been round and round on the matter. At this point people believe what they want. You cannot deny Margo's reputation took a big hit because of the glove situation. Regardless of guilt.

    Margarito was highly unliked before any of that ever happened, and this is going back years before that. People were waiting for a reason to dislike him again. His reputation was never good to begin with because he was beating guys he wasn’t supposed to. Cintron was supposed to beat him, even in the rematch. Clottey was supposed to win. They found out he beat Martinez, excuses. They love Daniel Santos though.

    Boxing doesn't work that way. All this conspiracy theory nonsense doesn't work. Why destroy a good fighter for beating other good fighters when the same powers that be could have just as easily hyped him up? I don't buy it. They could have made more money using him than destroying him.

    I was at the Santos fights in Puerto Rico Santos was another Ward a real Billy Goat Both fights were stopped due to bad cuts around Margarito;s eyes one was declared a N/C the other was awarded to Santos how the heck they judged it for him I'll never know a real hometown job

    He wasn't the cash cow Floyd was People were calling for Floyd to fight him. We all saw that Floyd was never going to fight him but he was in the way so Floyd "retired "Again!!!! If you remember. Then when this blew up & Tony got suspended the cowardly Mayweather slithered back in. Oscar was going to fight the winner of Cotto/Margarito 1 he bragged as a final big win ROFL. He jibbed out too& picked on little Pac The rest is historyKarma got Oscar lol
    The State Commission knew as well as we did Floyd knew he could not beat Margarito Tony would have laughed at his pitty pats as Floyd ran away. It was nothing but corruption at its finest, You say it doesn't work
    but it did work didn't it Floyd didn't have to fight Margarito because the CSAC suspended him but couldn't prove anything so they refused to return his boxing license in Ca because they SUSPECTED he MAY have tried to cheat.; They couldn't prove a damn thing against him
    The only person I see agreeing with you is the infamous Drenlou ROFL he liked your post lol Don't you feel embarrassed that hes the only one agrees with you . Even Pimp C isn't contributing to your cause & he's Floyds #1 fan

    What’s the conspiracy theory? He was always hated on by fans because he was a threat even if he was slow and had porous defense.
