    that Roach objected too? I remember Roach wanted the comission have him cut it off, but Pac was like "nah, I'll use it as a target". What was the problem exactly. Pac has a goatee and many other fighters have facial hair so I'm wondering what specifically was it about Margarito's goatee that was objectionable.

    The length. There's a limit to how long a beard fighters are allowed.

    I think Roach suspected Margarito was hiding plaster of paris in his goatee to strengthen his chin. I believe after the fight Roach asked the commision to investigate the goatee after Pacquiao failed to knock Margarito out.

    It was long and pointed.Their are rules on facial hair and it should have been trimmed before the fight.I seem to remember Danny Williams being told to trim his beard before fights and Danny carrying on because its a religion thing.Its something to do with when fighters are in the clinches,i guess it could cause cuts.

    Extra padding on his chin perhaps?

    That's where all of Margarito's magic comes from. If he cut it off, he would have been like Samson, and crumbled in the 4th round.

    Yeah that is the rule sometimes. Extra layer to absorb the blow. Margarito's is bullet proof also.

    He was hiding Chuck Norris inside his beard, and we know what Chuck Norris' beard is hiding.
