Ya have to do what you have to in order to win and most people don't get that. It's like life, nothing is always fair so all won't be fair in boxing. To yin there's yang. But there's a difference from faking lowblows or rabbit punches to get breathers(Hops/Jones 2) to doing steroids or tampering with the padding in gloves which really can be considered attempted murder. My point is there's a difference from being a dirty fighter and a criminal. My belief is that everyone deserves a second chance though...
resto knew... he confessed years later... besides the feeling of the gloves and the gloves appeared deflated looking.... he got lulled into it..he also knew they were putting asthma meds in the water bottle... he knew what he was dealing with and he let them steer him down that dark path. what's with mayweather jr. being up there?
i will do it instead of him . about the same reason as resto , altough i once read a comparison at bs , not bull**** , it's like esb , between margarito's and trinidad's cheating. i think oscar delahoya himself was also mentioned there as a cheater of the same type , which was less criminal than margarito's , as it was actually legal at some places , meaning states of the US. he did not bring sources , but i did not ask , as it is annoying.
doncha worry , hopkins does them roids as well .. you accuse so many fighters at attempting murder. what about fighter whom takes steroids / GH / both to recuperate from an injury but it still gives him the competitive edge as a side effect ? what about when both fighters do it ? regarding the second chance thing : fighters and their whole teams will cheat and try not to get caught , it is the norm already , but if they knew they will get a second chance it will become more than that , they will have no fear at all of cheating . those who does not cheat are the losers already. forgiveness will just make it even worse.
tito's hands were "stacked" guaze tape guaze tape guaze tape. same as kessler who was caught before fighting ward.
kesslers wraps were being done right in front of wards trainer...and they stopped him right away and kessler had to translate to his old trainer that he can't wrap his hands like that. whats funny is...even with some official being there..wards trainer still had to call it out...before the official said..."oh yeah..you can't do that...that's called stacking". like the official was there with his thumb up his ass staring at a wall.
your avatar certainly puts u right in a judging position.. since when a 42-44 competes at the top of a sport , especially boxing ? yes , i know he is 45 but i meant his pre jones2 "achievements" . and yes , i have heard bout george foreman. the thing is , foreman had the size advantage to rely on , so that explains it. hopkins too by the way , but not as big as foreman's . hopkins does not have foreman's punching power to rely on. what he takes helps him to stay in a relatively competitive condition. he still needs the fouls though. holyfield is nothing compared to hopkins.
How about Arthur Abraham....Fakes a low blow after almost every damn body shot he gets hit with.....and hits fighters when they are down.
