    If Margarito was using illegal wraps to beat his opponents, and the wraps are what ****ed up Cotto's face, and made Cintron go out like a *****...

    ......can someone explain why with as much leather as he landed cleanly against Williams, Williams wasn't that hurt compared to the Cintron and Martinez fights, and why hsi face wasn't as busted up as Cotto's?

    Ya were some hating bitches before the Mosley fight, ya some hating bitches now.

    I dont think people are accusing him and knowing for a fact he used illegal wraps for his other fights. But many people have ??? and rightfully do if he did use them in other fights. We will never know, only if he was punish like Luis Resto maybe he would've spoken more. Let's remember not all fighter face hold up the same, some get bruise more and cut easily more than others...

    What Luis Resto did is on an ENTIRELEY different level....No comparison...RESTO had the padding removed from the gloves!!!! And had a cast inserted to replace it.

    People always give credit to Williams for his chin

    Okay, but why is it Martinez and Cintron rocked him good, but supposedly a guy with plaster, who ruined careers with it, wasn't able to put a dent in Williams with as much leather as he connected....?

    Because he was not loading is probably the most accurate answer.

    they making assumptions on the cotto fight since cotto got the beating of his life. as we all know cotto is an iron chinned fighter pretty much the second coming of hagler, he only got wobbled by power punchers like chop chop corely and paulie the hitman malignaggi.

    I honestly dont think he has used them before, I think the Mosley fight if they even caught him doing something which is still up for debate, in my mind if they had solid proof he would be facing criminal charges you could prove intent in this case but for some reason he isnt facing charges....

    I think if they did use something for that fight or tried to, it was simply becuase they knew they came into camp heavy, margarito had reportedly come down from 171 to 147 in just 5 weeks thats alot of weight to take off, meaning the man was not in fighting shape he basicly killed himself to make weight...

    So I think that his trainer knowing this looked for some added help.... weather Margarito knew or not is still up in the air what I can say is that its un likely that something was even there, I base that assumption on the fact that he is not facing criminal charges....

    I also think it was kinda convieniant that this happend just when Mosley admitted to using steroids... the fight was moved here from Las Vegas to LA in my mind only becuase Vegas would have likely fined Mosley a portion of his purse....
    And who is to suggest Mosley wasnt on Roids for that fight as well????

    They always point to Cottos face as proof, but what about Cotto vs Pacquiao? look at Miguels face after that fight.... if Margarito used plaster for that fight, Obviously Manny did as well...

    don't u find it strange that margarito loses the early rounds but wins the middle and later rounds when his handwraps get sweaty and rock hard

    Very true..Infact, I think Cotto's face was in worse shape against Pacquiao.

    If this is the case why would Margarito remove his gloves at the end of fights such as the Cotto fight.

    He did this obviously aware that his wraps were rock hard and covered with plaster of course? :huh

    plus, i heard resto had his wraps dipped in plaster which is where i think many get confused.....

    if you wrap in plaster, of course your gonna pretty much have a lil cast on, but margo's trainer got caught putting in an old "pad" not wrap....pad goes over your knuckle and under the wrap........huge difference
