Margarito unable to obtain Texas License?

This is bull****. Margarito never cheated, once, in his entire career. It was possibly justifiable to suspend him, although not for a year, but you simply cannot hurt his career any more.

Whilst I do think it's probable that he cheated, you can't ruin a mans livelyhood over an assumption. I think that both Klitschko's have used steroids/PED's, I think Holyfield did, I think Barrera used illegal wraps in some fights...but unless it's factually proven, it doesn't matter.

 

That's a good question that you and Antwann both asked...

And I really can't tell you, to be honest. I do remember them putting out a definitive statement regarding the wrappings.

 

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? atsch

So the Department of Justice assumed Margarito cheated?

 

Yea, I remember that as well but I guess until a formal accusation is brought forth against them, they don't really need to show anything.

By the way, did you pick up any crying Puertorican women after the Cotto/Margarito fight? :hey

 

They caught him planning to cheat and assumed he meant it.

The fact is, we don't know he ever used illegal wraps in his career. You shouldn't be able to ban someone for what they didn't do.

I think Margarito knew about the wraps, so I'd say it was a fair punishment. I just don't agree with anyone who says he shouldn't fight on. The punishment was for the illegal wraps he was going to use against Mosley. I agree with the punishment for that, but I don't think it's fair to assume he cheated before the Mosley fight and punish him for that.

 

I always found that odd. Many people suspect them of cheating that night in LV and previous Margo fights, including apparently, Cotto and of course Cintron. Clottey even made some sort of reference in an interview I read. But it's strange the official silence that surrounds the whole thing. Not much from Arum, not much from the commissions. Is it just me?

 

:-(...Ok, let's just not put someone in jail for having caught them ATTEMPTING to plant a bomb or assasinate someone. Until that bomb explodes or the assasination happens, let's leave them alone.

 

It's like most things in life. It's much easier to hide failures under a rug rather than bring it forth and cause a shitstorm. It's in everyone's best interest if this issue doesn't blow up.

 

Who says they did? They banned him for what he tried to do. And that was enough..... fusk that clown. Don't make me bust out my links to the hearings with the CSAC..... don't make me do it Jack.

 

If they get punished for planting a bomb, do you think they should be punished for bombings in the past, you can't prove he did?

Have a look at my revised post.

 

Yes, I know they did and, like I said, I agree with that.

I just don't agree with further punishment. He's been reprimended, so it should be left at that.

 

The punishment if I recall, was an indefinite ban with a chance to renew/obtain a new license after a year. Texas will not give him one and I suspect the other comissions to do the same. What is so unfair about that? Whether or not he cheated in the past is irrelevant. He was suspended for attempting to load gloves, the Department of Justice findings only provided concrete (no pun intended) evidence to the matter.

 

Common sense prevails.

 

And he is able to reapply. It is not a given that they grant him a license. Would you give that guy a license if you were the governing body? Its already been proven that he was willing to risk at least one other man's health to further his own gains. Why should he be trusted or given the benefit of the doubt again. He can go fight somewhere else like Mexico if they'll have him.

 

Good. No way he should get a free pass like that.
