    I saw the documentary assult in the ring. Eventhough that was messed up what happen to the Collins guy I don't think it was any worse than what Margarito did before the SSM fight. Panama Lewis has been banned from being in his fighters corner for almost 30 years and Margarito got back his license recently. Is this really fair?

    Because Margarito has people like Arum and Jose Suliaman behind him it was all political. Margarito is a disgrace and should never have been allowed in a Boxing ring. Ever.

    ...How do you let a guy back in when he loaded his gloves with only a yr ban what did Lewis do ? Give a guy a performance enhancing drink and he's ban for life ..Not fair at all

    Two words: BOB ARUM!!

    Incidentally, Bob Arum promoted the fighter that Luis Resto beat with tampered gloves.

    Margarito never used illegal handwraps. You can argue they intended to use them or had used them in the past but you can't prove that. With Resto, there's no doubt. With Margarito, it could literally have been a mistake.

    So taking off the paddings in the gloves and placing plaster in the wraps and actually letting Luis resto ruin Collins isnt any worse then what Margo was TRYING to do????

    Lewis took padding out of the glove + used REAL cast wraps.
    (Including the use of the contents of the black bottle w/fighters)

    Yes including Aaron Pryor, No doubt about it in my mind.

    But of course Aaron Pryor gets a free pass and is an ATG while Margo is a piece of ****.
