    note* Margarito using illegal wraps is only speculation...it may or may not be truth, but since most people DO believe it to be true, I put it up there.

    There probably won't be many others, but I picked Butler's sucker punch on Grant. That right there was the epitome of bad sportsmanship, an ultimate scum of the earth move by Grant. The other 3 are still being denied to this day, but there is no disputing what Butler did.

    That Resto chap. The one who used no padding and killed the other guy. Awful.

    Agreed. I watched the documentary on that and it was sad, sad, sad.

    I made a mistake. I thought his opponent was Korean, but the guy I'm thinking of was the guy who died in a 15 rounder, and I think that fight changed the rules to make only 12 rounds. I forget his name.

    But it's just speculation! It hasn't been proven! Unless someone from Margarito's camp - or Margarito himself - admits it, we will never know! One interesting fact...Cotto's face looked just as bad after the Pacquiao fight than it did after the Margarito fight.

    I know, right? With the gloves off, as the guy was about to give you a hug. I mean, wow...does it get any worse?

    Yeah, and it never looked like that before.

    I know it's not proven, and I know i'm speculating, but his face was ruptured and it breaks the same way every fight now.

    IMO all of the above...They're all are disgraces to the sport!

    Resto\Lewis is the most disrespectful thing to do in the sport of boxing!

    Didnt he cause collins to lose some of his sight, meaning he couldnt fight again?

    Then he turned to the booze and crashed his car while tanked up.

    Watching those punches knowing that resto's hands were basically concrete with no padding in the gloves is horrible

    Resto went to jail and Collins was never able to fight again and killed himself. That's definately the worst IMO. This was a pre-mieditated act carried out over an entire fight. Butler is crazy. we all know that now. He got caught up in his emotions and hauled off and hit the guy. That's bad, but it was a split second bad decision.
