    I dont . Its obvious whats gone on in Vegas. Trouble is the corruption starts at the top with the Commissions They govern the sport they dont have to answer to anyone
    Just look at Margarito, all they ever haed was the blatant lie from Nazim about "plaster blocks"?There never were any. Then the "plasterlike substance" smeared on the pad? The lab that tested them never found any . Then the claim plaster was discovered? The lab actually had to use microscopic analysis to discover trace elements of Calcium & sulphur. In far larger amounts both are indeed two of the ingredients of plaster, but the minute amount discovered matches what is found in human sweat & even hand creme !!
    So the CSAC ignored all this & still upheld an innocent man's 2 year suspension rather than admit they goofed. They ruined a good fighters career & tarnished his name instead. It really makes me mad to see such injustice

    Margarito was a good fighter & an honest one
    Tony agreed to the CW for the Pac fight. Ask Pac his opinion of Margarito. Said it was his toughest fight ever.
    Mosely wasnt without hisbeing juiced to the gills again was he ??
    Pac permanently damaged Tony's eye he really should not have ever fought again. He was blind in it from round 2 & that doc knew it. Why didnt he stop it earlier?? No he waited till Tony was coming back beating his chest at Cotto & He stopped that fight to save QUITTO quitting AGAIN!!!!
    Ive known & followed Antonio since 1999 & I'm proud to have done so. That man was railroaded

    I'm just saying man, people give him no credit I thought he was one of the best all time Mexican brawlers who kept coming forward without any backstepping. His stamina was legendary you can't question his will to win or heart or his courage either. He was a force of nature. And Mayweather ducked him.

    Margarito isn't that hard to write is it? Besides.... Margo, really? That's a broad name. Margot Kidder used to really turn me on when I was a kid, I'd prefer not to conflate the two.:lol:

    I even saw a video where Margarito approached Floyd and money told him that he would get his shot against him. And then he retired instead.

    I actually really liked Margarito back in the day.

    I remember thinking he'd have been hell for Tommy Hearns.

    He'd lost 3 times as a teenager, but then racked up wins against Martinez, Kamau, Randall, Diaz, Lewis, Lujan, Cintron, Clottey, Johnson and Cotto.

    His loss to Santos was meaningless and the loss to Williams was very competitive.

    Going into the Mosley fight I thought Margo was one of the best WW fighters to have laced Em up and I fully believed he'd have ran a train through Floyd and would kill Mosley in the ring.

    But then it all went wrong. In so many ways. He got caught cheating got smashed to **** against Mosley then Pac, then Cotto.

    By the time he got his long awaited spot in the limelight, it was all over.
