    would the recent losses Cintron, Cotto Clottey suffered be ruled NC's?

    I'm not sure about the other fights but the Cotto one seemed suspect to me.

    Cotto already fought Mosley and I'm sure Margo watched the fight between them so maybe he got prepared for Cotto in the same way he attempted to get prepared against Mosley?

    No. He was cleared in the Cotto fight already.

    No, but it would be discredited by many if not the majority.

    Margo was cleared of using STEROIDS in the Cotto fight, nobody checked his concrete handwraps.

    There is no way of proving that he used an illegal substance in other fights, but the shadow of doubt will cast so much doubt that, effectively, yes, his previous fights to at least a certain extent will be No Contests in the eyes of objective fans. The debate rages now already as to what exact fight it was that he began to cheat.

    he was already proven guilty when he was found using an illegal substance to load his gloves:deal

    the rest of his career however can't be proven but I have a feeling he cheated especially in his recent fights(i.e his most biggest win ever in cotto:deal)

    I don't know. Would Mosley's Tito's, Mayorga's, Toney's, RJJ's, Vargas' careers be a no contest too?

    IF the accusation turns out to be true any level headed person would have to suspect that he has gotten away with it in the past. Having just beaten Cotto it would be an unusual time to suddenly decide that you need an unfair advantage and start loading your gloves. Also, given that he already had one glove signed off by the commission guy in the Mosley fight indicates that the commission has failed to pick up on the wrap tampering even in this instance, so there's no reason why they couldn't have failed to pick it up in the past. However, there is no way that his past fights will officially be brought into question because having the commission sign off his gloves in the previous fights is concrete evidence to the commission that his wraps were legit in the previous fights. The competance and legitimacy of the commissions themselves rests on the notion that they properly supervise wrapping and gloves so there is no way they will bring into question previous cleared fights. Us boxing fans will have other, more accurate, opinions on this though.

    i'm doubting the cotto win even more. If he would cheat against an old aging past his prime mosley, what more against a young in his prime undeafeted world champ who was top 5 in the p4p list? And that being his last fight and most recent win before he was found to be guilty:deal

    OK its **** like this that pisses me off, your boy is in Panama Lewis territory here the other guys aren't. What Margo did is grounds not only for a lifetime ban but for lawsuits and criminal charges as well. Anyway I'll play your stupid game just to show you how bringing up these other guys is dumb as hell. As they all have the benefit of not having known intent.

    For the record RJJ used Ripped Fuel which is a legal OTC supplement, Tito was NEVER caught loading his wraps with an illegal foriegn substance, SSM unknowingly took roids 1 time and ODLH decided NOT to file a case with the NSAC, Toney took medicine to heal from an injury roiding wasn't his intention and was stripped of the title anyway, Mayorga and Vargas were both fined and suspended.

    I don't condone any of these actions, but Margo is in a class by himself, comparing the others is like trying to compare shoplifting to armed robbery, there is NO comparison.

    If Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire are going to have asteriks next to their names in the record books, why shouldn't Mosley.:think

    So coming into a fight under the influence of a drug in a physical sport where you can kill someone is not as bad as hardening your handwraps???

    R U kidding me? What if Mosley would have killed someone while using steroids??? Murder. But had he not used steroids, Not murder.

    Get it?:patsch

    There is not way t accusing him of anything outside of the Mosley fight. Unless one of his "friends" gets scared and start talking. But the doubt will always be there.
