    No it can’t possible be with such a nearly universally accepted confirmed cheating.

    However, if you want to watch Margarito-Cotto, Mosley-Margarito and Cotto-Margarito back to back as one complete saga of sweet karma and revenge. That’s a different story.

    Not true. In the good old USA every suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I don't have to prove anything but YOU DO SUNSHINE!!!!!!
    Richardson , who started this BS with a blatant lie
    CSAC Insp Louhis who lied too about "Plasterlike substance" smeared on the padThe CSAC who jumped on this BS like the Keystone Kops & took Antonio's boxing license away for nearly 3 years because they SUSPECTED he MAY have been trying to load his gloves but couldn't prove it because the Lab that tested the pad did NOT report finding any " Plaster Blocks" or any "Plasterlike substance" whatsoever. The deemed them HARMLESS!! The people like Richardson, Louhis & the CSAC were the one should have been indicted & JAILED!!!!!

    Not really Mosely was the one cheating he was juiced to the gills
    Cotto never complained till he saw a way he could try explaining why Antonio kicked his butt so bad he took to his knees &QUIT!!!
    But when he eventually agreed to rematch Tony he already knew Tony's eye was permanently damaged & wasn't really fit to fight Through Cotto's thumbing Tony couldn't see out of that eye & the ref knew this. Did Tony QUIT like Cotto did?? He doesn't know the meaning of the word. The doctor didn't think to stop the fight until Tony started coming back & was beating his chest at a wilting Cotto Doctor stopped that fight to save Cotto the embarrassment of QUITTING on his knees AGAIN!!!!!

    Tony was literally getting murdered before their rematch was stopped. He was going to lose regardless.

    According to the 'California state athletic commission' Margarito is a liar and cheater thats why his license was justifiably revoked.
    According to thousands of Articles from independent news sources Margarito is a liar and a cheater.
    If this wasent true then why hasent Margarito attempted to sue any of these thousands of news sources for 'Defamation of Character' ?
    Ill tell you why, Margarito would lose in court because its true that he is liar and a cheater.
    I dont have the burden to prove something that has already been proven thats ridiculous.
    I wasent sure if you were serious about running to a blatant cheaters defense and I still dont. It appears to me your 'Trolling'.

    This blatant railroading of an innocent man is over & done theres nothing can be done now The guilty parties that night were Richardson, The CSAC Insp , the CSAC for jumping the gun & banning a man based on nothing more than a lie & Shane Mosely a proven & eventually self confessed steroid abuser who was juiced to the gills AGAIN!! They couldn't beat him fairly in the ring but they were afraid to fight him. Boxing is CORRUPT!!!!!!

    Bull Feces it was a carbon copy of fight one except Margarito fought with one good eye from round 2. Cotto started to wilt like before ,Tony was beating his chest at him, so only then does the doctor decide to stop the fight. Doc wasn't worried about it for the 8 rounds Tony couldn't see out of it He could see Cotto was ready to quit AGAIN!!! That is why he stopped the fight Tony wasn't a cowardly quitter like Cotto

    If Margarito had been cheating for years ….then why was Naseem Richardson the first to catch him ?

    You should start a petition on Margaritos behalf claiming his innocence of being a liar and a cheater.
    It would be interesting to see if can get more than 100 signatures. Lol!

    Last response...
    Who are the accusers in this case?........The NSAC
    Who were witnesses? Richardson & CSAC Insp Louhis BOTH were proven to have lied when the pad was tested by an Independent lab.
    The CSAC must Prosecute the accused & PROVE him guilty
    This never happened The CSAC could not indict Margarito they had no evidence They would have been laughed out of court & Tony would be a veryrich man So instead they suspended his boxing licence on their SUSPICION he MAY have tried to load his gloves to cover up their faux pas
    Who runs boxing in Ca ??? The CSAC LOL Tony did appeal to them , his accusers & was denied The State Commission has the right to take a boxers license from them
    In other words The CSAC were the Prosecution,The Judge,& the jury tony had no recourse THey Railroaded him pure & simple

    Whenever the Mosley fight comes up and people look at the evidence, most agree what happened was they stuffed hard gauze into the wraps, that's it, yes cheating but not really that high on the scale, then next time it's brought up it's like most people have forgotten and get the pitchforks out again.
    I say boxing classic for this one.

    its a classic

    I dont think there is enough proof he did anything vs Cotto though there is proof he tried to do something vs Mosley

    All the evidence is a lone picture that no one seems to be able to describe what they see

    When Luis Resto cheated he was caught in the ring the moment he went to shake hands with Billy Collins sr

    Margarito took off his gloves, got his hand raised, embraced Cotto, shook hands with people, posed for pictures in a ring full of boxing people and no one saw anything suspicious. If it was so obvious he had "plaster of paris" in his gloves wouldnt he have been caught then and there
