Hope he gets battered the cheating twat. Shame really as before the cheating scandal I was a massive fan of his.
I for one will give Margarito support. I supported Mosley against Cotto, even though Mosley was aRoid user, and against my all time favorite fighter. I supported Mayorga against Mosley, even though he was busted using a masking agent against DLH. I supported Vargas after his steroid scandal. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance.
I can't see a top welter weight boxers manager let them get in the ring with Margarito after the scandal he pulled. His career is done.
Arum will allow him to fight guys in his stable. After a couple of fights the plaster issue will start to slide to the back of peoples minds. I still like Margo, I am also interested in seeing him fight again. He has to prove that him being a top WW was not because of plaster. Margo vs Cotto 2 seems inevitable. I will say Cotto was boxing Margo's socks off until Margo started to break him down. That fight though showed me how slooooooooowww Margo is though.
I honestly think Margarito will beat Cotto again if they rematch. Cotto just could not block that damn uppercut that Margarito kept throwing that night. If it wasnt for Cottos lack of defense he would win but when you are getting hit by the same uppercut 3 times in a row you will lose that fight. It doesnt matter who lands it. Its a very powerful punch. Unless Margos chin has cracked he will roll over Cotto again. I would be interested in Margarito-PW again though.
Felix Trinidad is also a handwraps cheat. Why doesn't he get hate? What about steroid cheats? Why do they seem to be exempt from criticism?
If you were here before the Cotto fight, you would remember how much HATE Margarito was getting. Margarito called out Floyd Mayweather, and made Mayweather contradict himself. Also Margarito looked like he punked Mayweather in a video floating around youtube. You couple that with the Puerto Ricans who started despising him after he beat the **** out of Cintron, then after he nearly murdered Cotto, and the hand wrap developments, and you have TWO huge fan bases hating him. Puerto Ricans and Floyd fans.
What he was doing with his wraps was illegal, but he was guilty of taping directly onto the skin. Not exactly the same as having the substances to make Plaster Of Paris inside your gloves.
Warrior? The guy has no honor, he is a barbarian.... and should be banned for life... He's done, without the plaster, he is just a big guy with a chin...
