Its very hard to rate a guy that makes another elite, or high level fighter look basic. The way he wins with such apparent ease means we rate his wins less, but in my opinion he has a solid record (which can be picked holes in like any record) and has the best skill set of my Era. I am a Big fan, and think his achievements in the sport have been great.
I was born in 76, so I seriously doubt that. So explain him being caught in the Mosley fight. I'll wait lol.
As it happened......... Antonio had his hands wrapped, the NSAC inspector passed the wraps & signed off on them. Then that POS Richardson felt them said they felt hard & wanted them removed. Antonio willingly held up his hands. When they were removed Richardson claimed "PLASTER BLOCKS " fell out. Which is LUDICROUS!!! No one else saw them. Antonio was suspended based on Richardsons claims. When the pads & wraps were tested in an independant lab, almost 2 months later, all that was discovered was a soft used gauze pad . On which, using microscopic analysis, was dicovered TRACE ELEMENTS of sulpher & calcium. Yes indeed both , in much larger quantities are ingredients of plaster BUT in the minute amounts discovered they are parr with HUMAN SWEAT!! as both calcium & Sulphur are also ingredients of HUMAN SWEAT!! In their report the CSAC failed to add that fact All Antonio did was SWEAT how evil of him. Javier Capetillo admitted he had put the used pad in the wrap by mistake as it was in his bag with the new ones he'd made up ready. A technical mistake YES Attempted loading of Gloves ? NO. The lab deemed the pad HARMLESS !!! TOO LATE Antonio had already been deemed guilty by a kangaroo court I wish they had indicted Tony he would have been a very rich man today as they had absolutely no proof of him doing anything wrong and they knew it
