    i liked margarito before and even if he beat my boy cotto, i have no problems with that. but with the hand-wrap plaster issue, i really cannot support cheaters anymore.

    Forgot to mention Gatti after the recent woman beating and drug taking allegations, apparently he has previous form on both regards.

    I think there are mitigating factors here. The injuries to Bowe's brain can cause problems with impulsive behavior. It was the opinion of Dr. Margaret Goodman (neurologist) that this was probably the case.

    The "Leonard ducked Pryor" myth is bull****.

    Duran quitting, yes, that was pretty disgraceful.
