Would Margarito have made the hall of fame had he not been caught loading his glove?

    The man had so very good wins on his resume. Cotto, Clotte, Martinez and who know what loaded glove Margarito would have done to shane and Pac.

    based on beating Martinez Cintron x 2 and Cotto soley?

    lost to Williams, Cotto in the rematch and got knocked out by a somewhat aged Mosley

    so no

    He "popped" Martinez, Cintron & Cotto's cherry & to an extent also Clottey's.
    (Easy to use hindsight for diminishing a fighters accomplishments)

    The Williams fight was close & Margo was fighting hurt.
    The Mosley fight Margarito was badly dehydrated (Sick) & was off his game against a "Juiced" Mosley.

    he also loaded his gloves against Cotto in their first fight and tried to do so vs a juiced Mosley

    cheaters shouldn't be inducted into the HOF, but guys like Toney, Jones and countless others are in

    this is only my personal opinion, and a fighter shouldn't be in the HOF going only by his wins, his resume as a whole should be taken into account and the circumstances involing each career defining win or loss

    Margarito was a cheater. We have no idea what his record would have been had he not cheated, so I think he is not worthy of the consideration. In fact, he got off VERY light. He could have easily killed someone in the ring. Look what he did to Cotto. Looking back, it is obvious his gloves were loaded when he beat Cotto.

    There is no real sound evidence that he cheated vs Cotto just a lot of myths speculation and folklore

    As far as HOF no, good wins good reign but lacked the stardom

    If he got by Mosely his popularity after the Cotto fight would have remained and maybe he would have continued on and been HOF

    Yeah, right. Then why did Cotto take him out after they knew he was cheating and were watching?

    Yes, but who really cares, fact is he did get caught, and is now in the hall of shame. That's better than he deserves, he should be in a very real place called jail, with his sissy self.
