    That's an impressive feat, tell me, do you close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and use the "nah, nah, nah, nah, nahhhh, nah, I can't hear you" technique?? lol

    no i choose to look at what everyone says about it instead of just going along. You wanna see the results of someone really stuffimg their gloves go look up Luis Resto and youll see the difference

    Margarito win = Rios win

    Both brawling plodders on the decline

    Not that I really care because you're such in the minority your opinion is completely negligible but, Resto had plaster and the cotton stuffing removed. That's where the difference comes from.

    Agreed. Margarito was what, 1-3 post-wrap scandal?

    1. You're an idiot for that first claim you make.

    2. Everything other than that first line is spot on, however. You will not hear the same people who make a big deal about the weight difference equally apply that credit to other fighters in similar scenarios.

    It really was as pointless a fight as could be.

    It was just controversial because of the wraps, the licensing, and the VACANT 154 pound WBC title in a 150 pound fight to give Pac his 6th division title status.

    Why keep saying lies about his wraps ?? Margarito NEVER EVER loaded or tried to load his wraps & no one has EVER been able to prove he did
    In fact if anyone could have suspicion someone had loaded wraps it is Tony Margarito himself. How did Pacquaio have power enough to destroy Tonys eye socket. How did Mosely get the ferocity & power he showed against Margatito than he's ever shown before??
    Now before I'm castigated saying I'm accusing Pac of loaded gloves I'm not, I do not believe he would even think of doing it
    but I am positive Mosely was juiced to the gills that night AGAIN!
    As for Cotto-Margarito1 I watched Margarito's hands wrapped there was nothing illegal in there

    Youre full of it Smokie>>
    You say you question Margarito being able to fight professionally WHY??? Post one iota of proof that he EVER did anything illegal & you might have a point
    On the other hand you don't have any questions about fighters like Mosely, Jones jr, Vitali Klitschko, Holyfield etc all being allowed to fight when they were all PROVEN steroid abusers , not suspected PROVEN. Heck they'll probably end up in the HOF too :patsch Its a damn farce

    I said before the fight that Margo would make even Pac look like a boxing savant. If you didn't see it coming YDKSAB. Besides, we'd already seen Margo was garbage without his concrete.

    Right now? No. But Pac didn't jump 5 weight classes to fight Margo either. He was already a full fledged welter by that time.
