One thing is for sure... Mosley had a HUGE psychological advantage over Margarito when they stepped in the ring...
He should've known his trainers were loading his gloves how do you not? They harden and get heavier how would he not feel it? Most likely he is lying about not knowing and if he did know he should man up and say so get that off yer chest? Life has too many problems why put more on your chest? Smooth them out while you bit your lips.
Louis Resto claimed the same thing didn't he??? **** off, if it were plaster - he shoud be gone. Fighters sit there and watch their hands get wrapped, ****ing accept some responsibility.
"He should have known..." doesn't even make sense to me. I can't imagine any trainer would attempt such a thing without the fighter's consent or explicit request. There's way too much to lose, if caught, to do this without the fighter's permission.
Okay, when intelligent argument fails, a more offensive comes. So tell me, why is a posse out there for Margarito, who's trainer attepted to cheat, in your opinion with Margarito's knowledge, in the Commission's opinion without Margarito's knowledge (they never stated Margarito knew about it, so let's not assume anything), and why isn't one out there for Shane Mosley for example, who personally "loaded his body", and as you say, he's responsible for his team's actions, so even if you believe that he didn't knew what was in the BALCO substance, he's still guilty? Why the double standards?
So who says there isn't a "posse" out to get Shane? You? And what the **** difference does it make? Shane ain't Margarito. Margarito is dirty regardless of what Shane did. Now please, do us all a favor and STFU...
taking steriods for a leg up on competition is part of sports, no one likes it, but its normal... putting plaster on your hands to pound the **** out of somones brain... thats a little different Not all cheating is the same :-(
No. Unless there is evidence against Margarito (who knows, one day they might find, but so far they haven't), you can say whatever you want, that won't make Margarito guilty no matter how many times you repeat it.
Well Said:good All this sanctimonious know ****-all hysteria, 50% of the gob-shite's on here don't even know what a wrap is something out of KFC or end of a movie shoot. Unfortunatly it's the all too prevelant american mob mentality adopted by the less than strong minded as too where it's safer to go with the 1st big mouths uninformed squealings than it is too look a little closer too the actual truth. what simpler & less complicated !! Why let the truth get in the way of sensation & dastardly deads, HANG HIM HANG HIM cry the brave cowardly mob. When this story broke over here in the UK there was obviously disbelief & shock for a day or two & rightfull condemenation if proved too be of such a sinister nature. But it was tempered by a HOLD ON, lets wait & see & not be too hasty & look underneath the sensation & usual american conspiricy thearies linking the grassy knowl with alien abductions & plaster filled wraps. Any **** will 25% of brain fuction knows that plaster wraps do not exist & are straight out of hollywood along with the charlie chaplin horseshoe in the glove, how about maybe giving this feller the benefit of the doubt, over here we hav'nt dambed him like you yanks have as it don't appear conclusive as there's no proof to him ever doing it before & i believe him to be a genuine feller & in knowing **** all about what his trainer was doing who he'd trust to just get on with what he's always done so he can just focus on the fight ahead. We'll never adopt the rule of the spineless mob as we won't ever tolorate any **** ever telling us what to do, it's "**** off" i'll make me own mind up in me own time & if my opinion goes against the bleating sheeps then it's a simple,GOOD now **** off + i'd do it out of spite just to be INDEPENDENT of any ranting/raving mob anyway Just look at the facts/proof & stop sucking yer neighbours dick:deal
He didn't put plaster in his hands, Capetillo tried but failed, that's all we have as evidence. But there's your double standard. Steroid... is normal? are you insane? A thin extra pad the commission didn't even see could definitely make your punches harder, and it's a disgusting cheat, but it's not like a horseshoe or removed padding like Panama Lewis did. It's an extra edge, but let me tell you that the kinds of PEDs out there can make you just as dangerous: punch harder, land crispier, land more - what the **** is the difference? You hit the brain with an extra weapon and I dare to say the Capetillo pad is not much worse than a roided James Toney. The difference is that Margarito didn't even use the Capetillo wrap, it was rewrapped and there's simply no evidence of previous wraps being dirty, while Toney, Shane etc, were caught after actually fighting dirty!
This has been beat to death. Once he was suspended for loading his gloves, that is the equivalent of being found guilty. So this innocent till proven guilty crap does not fly - he was found guilty. His punishment was suspension for at least one year. If they renew his license, then OK, he did his time and will be allowed to fight again. Texas didn't feel he's served his time yet and denied his renewal. Another state may disagree and issue a license. Regardless, if they let him fight again, so be it; however, Capetillo should be banned for life.
You don't know **** about Luis resto. Luis Resto had the PADDING from his GLOVES REMOVED to make room for the PLASTER!! Big damn difference! Also, Margarito was suspended before lab results came in. What was found in Margarito's wrppings were old pads. And what the was found in the old pads were TRACES of Calcium and sulphur. Calcium and Sulphur are found in sweat, skin, and blood.
I agree with you on the PEDs. Anybody caught should also receive a suspension. I think they would have to be found guilty by the actual drug test though. Mosley never tested dirty, he admitted to it in court. I am not sure where to draw the line, but lean towards needing an actual dirty test to punish.
My apologies if my previous reply appeared to be aimed at you, it was'nt, just got carried away with slagging down the sheep
