    There is no more proof that can be said about Margaritos illegal wraps for the cotto fight or even before that than there is to Shanes illegal performance enhancing drug use, I think people are jumping on the I HATE MARGARITO BANDWAGON a little too soon

    Whether Shane used drugs back then isnt debateable, it's whether he knew or not.

    Other than that i agree.

    I agree with you to an extent But I find it hard to believe someone who's had the success he's had over the past year, would all of a sudden decide to cheat when he's on the biggest high of his career.

    Most thiefs generally don't get caught the first time they steal.

    Well that could be but it could also be coincidence, Margarito for most of his career had a big size and power advantage over his opponents and wouldnt really need any kind of illegal wrap to help his power but then again who knows

    Yeah, like you said..it's all speculation. We may never know the truth (unless it is true and Tony comes clean). Either way, it's not a good look for Boxing.

    yes but also the kind of shots cotto was walking right into weren't exactly love taps , it would have messed his face up with or without some kind of extra hard wraps

    There are many official sites announcing this, I don't think they will risk their reputation if the news wasn't coming from a legitimate source.

    Illegal hand wrapping is far more dangerous than steriods. You can kill somone with illegal wraps. Not to mention Shane had a much better track record before the steriod allegations. Margo's whole career has to be called in question he wasn't really that good to begin with.

    Well I'll say thats there is a lot more to back up Mosely doing dope then margo POPing. But lets just say it don;t look good for either.

    And in my opinoin sticking POP in your gloves is way more flagrent and probably more of an advantage then doping.

    Why does he have something other than what he is supposed to have in his wrap anyway. **** him, he tried to get over. If its not plaster then waht the **** is it? it shouldnt be anything other than gauze and the standard amount of tape. Cleary he was trying to get over because he had something extra in his wraps

    Exactly. AM fans need to shut the hell up and pay attention. Theres no reason to have plaster, can an AM fan please explain if they feel different.

    For tonights fight but in previous fights no one could possibly know whether he was cheating other than himself and his team

    No it isn't. You dont start wrapping your fists this late in your career and much less take the chance of trying these illegal wraps for the 1st time in one of your biggest fights. Seems the guy has been doing it for years.
