    sitting on the fence, hopefully margo is investigated and the wraps if its true he should be banned for life

    i dont like saying it but it looks as though the writing is on the wall

    Great point TFFP.... i'd go for this been true, why would they just use this trick on Mosley... If this is the case Margarito should be embarassed as the only thing he's ever had going for him is his rock fists... now we know why..

    IF these serious allegations are proven then Margarito/Trainer should be banned from boxing proffesionaly for life.For Cotto it would deliver redemption for the loss as that fight was even bigger than Shanes fight and the same method would more than likely have been used.A terrible incident for boxing if it's proven correct, it casts shadows all around.
    Cotto's career finished nope,he beat Shane, and 'he' knocked out Margarito the allegations will have him wondering was I beaten fairly?

    Can't see this being true to be honest.

    Will reserve judgment for now ......

    I'm sitting on the fence for now.

    BUT... regardless of this. I firmly believe Cotto can beat Mosely. If he does then all is pretty much rectified. I'd love to see a rematch between the two as I think Cotto had the correct game plan until he gassed out. Also, illegal wraps or not, Cotto took too many punches early on. If he can cancel this out then he would win a rematch.

    Whether this was an issue or not, had Cotto defended better he would not have been beaten. Maybe he would have won anyway had the wraps been legal, but even so I think this defeat could be the making of him. If he can retain his power and accuracy and couple that with a solid defence then we would have a true monster on our hands.
     
  12. If Margo has been using illegal wraps and this can be proven, in the Mosley fight and/or the Cotto fight, then he is a filthy swinedog of the lowest order, and should be banned and prosecuted for what he did to Cotto's face.

    If this turns out to be a load of old nonsense, then he is a teak-tough Mexican warrior of the highest order, and should be admired and revered for what he did to Cotto's face.

    To be fair, Marg probably had no idea whether it was legal or not. It's his camp that should be disciplined.

    He had no idea that having plaster in your gloves might be seen as illegal and a slight advantage? :roll:

    What about a knuckleduster...

    Come on.
