    I have heard sooo much crap about the margarito situation giving boxing a black eye and he shouldn't be licensed and yadda yadda yadda. Let's get one thing straight, I am not condoning what he did, it was wrong and potentially dangerous. Now I say that cheating is cheating! So why is everyone acting like what he did is so much worse than what any other cheating fighter has done and why does he need to pay such a higher price than other cheating fighters? Mosley, jones, toney and other fighters have tested positive for steroids. Then you have fighters that have taken diuretics like chavez jr. Now which is more dangerous, loaded gloves that make the punch a little harder, steroids which allow a fighter to possibly hit you harder and more times due to increased stamina or diuretics which help a fighter maintain more muscle mass while still making weight which helps a fighter hit you harder. So why crucify margarito when other fighters have made themselves just as dangerous in the ring through cheating?

    Feel free to light into me, I just want some honest opinions.

    I will agree that Margacheato gets a bit more grief than say... Shane Mosley. But then again Shane admitted it, and he tested clean with random drug testing.

    I tend to think Jaguar is quick to discredit Manny Pacquiao's opponents achievements too, after he finishes dominating them in one-sided fashion.

    dude you actually said oh so what if he loads his gloves which makes u punch a bit harder???

    He loaded them with plaster of paris! Thats nxt level cheating. Your right steroids are bad and potentially dangerous aswel.

    I dont think margarito has been rightly punished. Nor does he look repentent. I think all cheats in boxing should be given lenghty bans. That includes caught steroid cheats aswel

    Shane admitted it to the same extent that Margarito did.

    "I didn't know"

    Putting plaster in your gloves is the same as bringing a weapon in the ring. PEDs are so common around the sport that I dont consider it on the level of loaded gloves. As for diuretics, they help a fighter make weight by dehydrating them. IMo and that of many others it gives the fighter less of an advantage if anything. Margo should be banned for at least another year. The Texas commission should be embarrassed to have thier greed exposed.

    Cotto was never anything special to me. I still can't name the marquee fight that made everyone a Cotto believer. Sure he beat Shane, but it wasn't all that impressive to me. Back in the day when he was undefeated and folks said that he could beat Floyd I just laughed. Limited mobility, shitty defense, and that crappy ass trainer? If Manny didn't beat that chump, I would have been shocked and appalled.


    Hatton was a joke! Hatton hugged and grappled Tszyu to victory, but never did anything that made me think that he was or could be elite. The most impressive thing about Hatton was his entrance. I picked Hatton to win, primarily because I hate *******s, and I bought into the 24/7 and his new game plan with Sr. But he completely abandoned the plan and got ktfo. Hatton was and is a joke. Logically, I didn't think he had much of a chance, but I wanted him to win.

    Excuse me?
