    Ban Mosley also then. You can't have it both ways.

    Just playing devil's advocate here...

    The only "plaster" descriptions have come from Mosley's camp. Until it is confirmed by the commission or another unbiased 3rd party, I'm staying on the fence. Perhaps I'm naive to think that a fighter on Margarito's level would not do something this blatant.

    I've been wrong before. When Castillo didn't make weight against Corrales and his manager was pushing up the scale with his foot, for instance. At that time I also believed that kind of **** was beyond what a professional at that level would do.

    I just think that if it was something as blatant as wrapping plaster under the wraps that the commission would have gotten some authorities involved and the fight would have probably been called due to criminal intent. This wasn't Vegas.

    I'm staying on the fence until this is confirmed.

    You were too busy crying like a little girl over the hand wraps. I don't ever recall seeing you yell for Mosleys head over his steroid use? I take it, you just want fighters you don't like to take all the blame right... Cheating is cheating, I don't see any different here.:deal

    Margarito should retire. He's an embarassment to the sport IF this is true.

    Both fighters are ****ing cheaters. Mosley is more skilled though, and speaks english, so he's o.k... :nut

    Hmmmm...:think

    All I said was that I wanted to see what the commission came back with, and if it was confirmed then he should be banned. Do you disagree? :lol:

    How is that "crying like a girl" you ****ing braindead moron? :roll: You're the imbecile who has jumped the gun on what I have said. :deal

    I haven't mentioned Mosley ONCE yet. But then again, why would I in a thread about MARGARITO'S WRAPS. :patsch

    It was confirmed by the commission. They are the ones who told HBO.

    Here's a question I haven't seen asked. How the **** did Cotto's people miss plaster in the wraps?

    He already has been cleared of any KNOWINGLY wrong doing. He was subjected to a lie detector test after saying he never knowingly took anything illegal...and he passed with flying colors. He now has a 12 million dollar lawsuit out against the man who accused him of it and said he knew what he was taking (Victor Conte...a man who refused to take that same lie detector test that Shane aced).

    Shane never knew he was cheating...the only thing he was guilty of was being too trusting of his trainer and the man who employed that trainer (Conte).

    Before people do all this condemning, shouldnt they at least do a little research on the subject?

    The thing is, he likely built his career on it. We have no reason to believe Margarito hasn't been loading his gloves all along.

    Agreed. This is 10 times worse. No comparison really.
