Firstly, I'm new here so hello everyone . Looking forward to having some fun conversations. Anyways, here is the question I wanted to pose to you all? Bob Arum has been talking about Margarito returning to sport on the under card of the Pac/Clottey fight. I personally will not pay money knowing that a portion of that will be going into Margarito's pocket. I find the nature of the way he cheated unforgivable. It is dangerous enough taking blows to the head as it is. I feel that unless fans stand in solidarity against cheating the sport will become increasingly corrupt. The integrity of the sport is becoming a bit of a joke at this stage. Do you agree with me in saying enough is enough? Will you forgive Margarito for what he did? If so, why? (Don't know how to do a poll)
I agree. Sadly though Margo is going to eventually get on a major major PPV that will force you to watch him essentially. Pac-Clottey I won't be buying, it's not interesting to me. Specially with Clottey coming off a loss to Cotto, and his trainer has still yet to get a visa. But if Margarito was put on the Mayweather-Mosley card, I would still buy it. And talk **** on him the whole time. I believe Margo knew what he was doing, and played dumb and blamed his trainer so he didn't take such a big hit.
The way Margarito was treated, and railroaded without so much as a legitimate investigation, in the future I will go out of my way to watch his fights. When he starts beating people down again, I will be on here giving him his props. Don't bother flaming me. This is the only time I'll come on this thread.
Yeah, get yo ass back over there in the Pav thread. As fas as the original question. I think Margo got a raw deal also. But I am watching this fight for one thing and one thing only... The Motha****in Hitta, Baby!
Agree completely. Margarito has been unfairly maligned and accused of all sorts of things in other fights, without there being any evidence to support this. This is disgusting witch-hunting of the worst variety, and is unfortunately all too common among boxing fans.
What is up with that deal though? It almost does seem like there was no investigation done here. They basically just said they had found traces of plaster like substance. Not that there was plaster in the gloves. I was very disappointed when i heard this as Margo made me a fan of his after fighting basically all the top WW. His fight are usually very exciting and i will be watching again. Dont hate so much on him Newb. Blame the commision for not doing a thorough investigation.
Shane admitted that he used steroids. Unkwowingly or not, CHEATING IS CHEATING!! So should we all ban shane mosley's future fights?? margarito deserves another chance just sa much as mosley did.
Comparing 06 to now is a joke. I would buy Pac-Clottey if I had the cash probably. But like I said, it lacks interest to me. Considering in 06 I liked Pac but not loved him like I do now.
It's still funny mate. :good I don't like how you've completely condemned Margarito though? Why don't we boycott Mosley's next fight...or Toney's next fight? Taking steroids is putting another man's life in danger...just as "supposedly" loading your gloves is.
thats bull****. but like i said before most people here dont hate him because of the wraps, he was hated before that, they use the wraps as an excuse to justify their hate now.
It's not even close. Who would you rather be hit by Addie. Shane Mosley with loaded gloves or Shane Mosley in the DLH fight. And I've boycotted every Toney fight since before he was caught. I cant stand that guy.
