I have supported Margarito throughout his whole career until recently. I have to admit that I am pissed off that he tried to cheat. He not only disgraced himself but his family, his fans, Tijuana, and Mexican greats of yesteryear with this pathetic attempt. To claim ignorance is useless at this point in time. I agree that he should have gotten a harsher punishment; however, I wouldn't know what would be just.

Being a fair person, you have to take into account that others have cheated and gotten away with it, i.e., Tito, Mosley, Vargas (though he also got caught unlike Mosely), and others we don't know about.

What I do know is that there is slight proof that Margarito may not have been using loaded gloves prior to this fight. Before the Cotto fight, Cintron was quoted as saying, "Margarito isn't really a big puncher." Don't know if anyone else remembers that, and I am not saying this excuses Margarito, but again, a fair-minded person would take that into account. Cotto, to my knowledge, also didn't come out on record and say that Margarito was a devastatingly big puncher. Just food for thought.

Would I support Margarito again? As of right now, I have to say no. Just really disappointed that he resorted to this BS. Don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said.

There is no excuse for Margarito's cheating, but plaster in his gloves didn't give him a solid chin, fantastic stamina and relentless style. He was a good fighter. He made a mistake and has rightfully been punished, but he's not evil. Once he's done his time, he should be welcomed back.
