    Its obviously not gonna happen. But in an ideal world, assuming you believe his hands were loaded during the fight (as most seem to believe), do you want the fight to be revised to a nc?

    I think in an ideal world, a thorough investigation should take place and if they find there is overwhelming evidence (as i think), they should change the result!

    Yes but how far back do you go?

    It's possible that he loaded his gloves in every fight since the loss to Williams.

    Not unless we go back and change all of Tito's wins as well.


    Nazeem led the charges on both Margo and Trinidad. If I believe him on one then I believe him on both.:deal

    Thats the obvious problem.

    But imo there's pretty overwhelming evidence he loaded against cotto, plus it was the fight just before the Mosley one.

    Make all of his wins NC and leave him with the three losses, Mosely, Pacquiao, and Cotto.

    Lets just erase Margarito's career. (And Resto's, and whoever else I don't know who had loaded wraps. I'm sure even as far back as Dempsey they had loaded gloves). Those fights never happened. That means whatever titles they won, and lost them to, were never legit champs either. You can't be the champ by beating a fraud right? IMO if you cheated and got away with it, then you didn't cheat. You're innocent until proven guilty, baby. For all we know, Mosley was the ONLY fight he had illegal wraps in. ;)

    EITHER WAY... what's the story with Tito's wraps? I never heard anything about that. Please inform!

    Can never be proved.Whatever anyone says I'll never be convinced his whole career was an illusion.
    Let's move on...

    I think he cheated...unknowingly vs Cotto.

    Come on, why would he be dumb enough to expose and show his hands like that in the victory celebrations if he knew they were loaded? He isn't that stupid.

    If a fighter knew he was cheating he would also know there is a massive risk of getting caught and that would hinder performances or a person psychologically.

    After the Mosley fight, Margo must have went upto Capatello and asked him how long this **** has gone on for and those revelations must have been quite alarming to hear.

    This is my take, Margo cheated but unknowingly vs quite a few fighters.

    Sure, if there was proof other than our speculation(which I strongly believe he did load his gloves) I want that fight, and every other fight between the time he started using them, in my opinioin either the loss to P. Williams or the loss to Daniel Santos onward.

    Nope, It was team Cotto responsibility to visually and physically be on sight for the wrapping of Margarito hands. This is a lack of professionalism on their own parts. Team Margarito took the advantage, and in war it's rightfully so...I don't agree with what has happen and I hope Margarito gets everything he deserve for be unprofessional, and for showing the lack of sportsmanship conduct.

    Certainly not. There is no clear evidence that Margarito had anything in his gloves in this fight. People can speculate all they want, it doesn't make it true, and it doesn't justify overturning a clear fight result.
