    This is just straight up wrong. He landed plenty on Williams. Enough to do the damage everyone here thinks is capable with plaster on ones wraps.

    for attempting to do something illegal. Not for anything he did before Mosley, he has never been found guilty of anything in ANY fight before Mosley. It's still a little unclear what he was found guilty of was.

    Williams has a great chin. I don't know about him being hurt by Martinez that much even when he hit the deck he looked ok. Cintron is known as a big puncher anyways and that was at 154 not 147.

    We'll never know if Margarito loaded his wraps against Williams, Cotto, or Cintron, but what we know is that if Richardson had not been on point Margarito would've been banging on Mosley with some loaded gloves, which ****ing sucks.

    Hitting a man who is down with full force ****ing sucks, having a great physical advantage over your oppoenent because you use PEDs s****ing sucks....but we forgive and we move on, and in many cases give the fighter the benefit of the doubt. No need to give Tony a different set of standards. ;)

    clottey said he doesnt believe he used anything in his fight because his punches didnt hurt

    I believe he did in the cotto fight. Think of it this way there is more on the line in the big fights, cotto, mosley so he is under more pressure to perform. did mosley use balco in all his fights? no he used them in the dlh rematch, one of the biggest fights were there is more pressure.

    My guess is he wrppaed for just Moseley and got caught....

    or after the Williams debacle he wrapped he came back KO'd tough Golden johnson in 1 round when does he ever get an ear;y KO like that ****s up Cotto's face

    but the only detractor is he beat Cintron in the smae amount of rounds as the first fight

    I did give Margarito the benefit of the doubt after he hit Cotto while he was down because I think it was more of a "in the heat of the action" kind of thing. Also, I think you're confusing Margarito with Mosley when it comes to PEDs. Mosley did get alot of discredit for his PED use, people even claiming that he was possibly using PEDs for several years, even when he lost to Cotto. In that sense the Margo thing with the loaded gloves is not that different.

    I'm honestly not sold that Marg did do anything wrong. I'm not sure if they proved that he used plaster for the Shane fight nor the Cotto fight. There is just no solid evidence other than traces or elements found in plaster in his wraps. But those elements can be found in lotions....so...Not sure...Just know that I like Marg...he makes for exciting fights and he always puts in 110% effort.

    I can't say if hed used the wraps in all his fights, but early in his career he was an average fighter. W/in a yearor so of his 2nd loss to santos he became the hardest puncher & most feared guy around. & he really did start beating guys up pretty bad. His punching power went up while his frame still rmained frail.

    Pwill has a pretty good beard for a guy as frail as he is.

    Marg wasn't an average fighter bro. He was always a very good fighter but didn't have a marketable name. He always faught good level opposition and won.
