I havent been on since the day of the fight, My wife just flew back into town :hey However the cheating **** can not be accepted, I just hope that Mosley is clean if some how in the next day or two they say he wasnt its going to really **** some **** up here. fingers crossed.
he's clean. i think he learned his lesson on that one. as for illegally wrapping your hands, how can any fighter think that they can get away with it in this day and age? he may have before, but it isnt going to happen every fight. especially championship fights. total bull****.
I don't think Shane will be dirty...after all the heat he encountered for the first time. I SERIOUSLY doubt he'll try and pull that **** again. Someone's gettin' some action eh :yep
Contrary to what many of my fellow Puerto Ricans want, I don't want Cotto to fight Margarito. WHY???? Simple, the money is with Shane Mosley. After getting caught cheating, not even mexicans want to see Margo. Now, Cotto better take training camp very seriously if he wants to have a chance to beat Mosley again. The point is, win or lose against Mosley, he can fight Margarito later. But if he fights Margarito again and losses, then Mosley will not be interested in fighting Cotto.
Floyd did not duck Margarito , it has already been shown that it was 3 fight deal gone bad. Floyd agreed to fight margarito for 8 mill as long as he could fight , cotto and and Hatton for 10 mill a peace , which Arum would not agree too. This was also quoted by Arum who confirm this is what took place.
Thats the way I feel also. Why allow Margo to make anymore $$, **** him! Cotto should fight Mosley and then Berto. Margarito should go back to Telefutura or Telemundo..........
Margarito just needs to retire, look at the punishment he has taken in his career, his fights none of them were easy, well okay a few but for the most part he has had to bang it out Rocky style to get where he has gotten. Doesnt matter what you really think of Margarito, the man has won three world titles at Welter Weight not an easy thing to do at that weight class, he has continued to fight the top welters for over two years, again not an easy thing to do. Most of you will sit here and argue and talk **** about the man becuase of the on going Mayweather Margarito hate deal here on ESB, but one thing none of you ****ers can say, you cant sit here and say you could do any better than Margarito has done in the last two years with all of his wins and even in his losses. I am turned off by Margarito the hand wrap thing just ****ed me up, then again it was with a guy like Mosley, who truely doesnt have that rematch win over Oscar De La Hoya, a man who knows and knew he had cheated, I mean just becuase he was caught in the DLH fight doesnt mean he hadnt done that **** a few times prior to. The point I have here, yes its a great day if your a Margarito hater, but even the biggest Margarito hater knows, that winning titles at this weight class against those he won them from is not and was not an easy task, you cant take that from him.
You mean the same Margo who was walking around with a 40 story cement skyscraper in his gloves? That Margo.
margarito only won the welter weight title twice , and that when he beat Cotto and cintron, he fought diaz for the vacant WBO title , and fighting for a vacant title does not carry as much weight, as beating the the man with the belt or title.
you can lable it how you want, he won three titles Period! the rules dont bend when it suits you, he won 3 world titles end of story. lets see you win one pit.
What the **** are you talking about, you act as if Floyd doesnt get hit he does even with Baldimor he was getting tagged, dont fool yourself, Margarito made Cotto quit a guy that clearly beat Mosley
If you were getting hit with the "pad" as you put it, I think you would "quit" too right? Man I went back and started thinking of the Cotto vs Margarito fight when in the 2nd round Margarito hit Cotto with a body shot that made Cotto twist his body like a worm you know. And I remember thinking man its too early in the fight for a punch like to hurt so much you know. Now Bazzoka dont take me wrong bro ok, Im just saying. Because regardless of what people are saying about his gloves we have to wait for the whole investigation to be completed before making statements ok. For all we know this was another trick from the Hopkins mental games book you know.
I hear ya However they did take the pads from Margarito the commissions wouldnt do that if there wasnt anything out of the norm going on, However in Vegas against Cotto you just cant get away with that not in a fight that big, However California has a much softer commission so I think they really were trying to get away with it. just my opinion, though some interesting things observed Saturday night, the arguement that Tony doesnt have a following is out the door the man sold out Staples the majority of the fans there were all Margarito fans, but true fight fans show their true selves when Mosley took Margarito out, Mosley won their respect. Sorry but the pad issue seems to be on key with Tapatio, the trainer of Margarito, he is an old school dirty vet of the sport, I dont doubt that he would
Agreed! The margo that fought Cotto was the same Margo that fought Shane...Shane just did what he had to do...He stayed off the ropes... Floyd had the same deal to fight Baldomir in front of him-8 million..for the lineal title and WBC belt...As I remember Floyd wanted Shane but Shane had a toothache and a vacation after the Vargas fight...
