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

Tampered handwraps controversy

Controversy erupted before the fight when Mosley's trainer, Naazim Richardson, observed that Margarito had a pasty white substance in his handwraps. One doctor described this material as plaster hidden in the wrapped hands of Margarito, leading to accusations that he may have been trying to cheat. At Richardson's insistence, California State Inspector Dean Lohuis called for Margarito's hands to be rewrapped. According to Judd Burstein, the attorney for Mosley, Margarito had wet pads in the wrapping. Mosley's doctor, Robert Olvera, likened the material to the type of plaster used to make casts. Burstein said he seized the pad removed from the wrapping and another pad found in Margarito's dressing room. Both were placed in a sealed box that was given to Lohuis for further study. The California Department of Justice laboratory later confirmed the substance to be similar in nature to plaster of Paris.

In late January, the California State Athletic Commission suspended Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, pending investigation. At the hearing, Margarito claimed he did not know what was in the wraps, while Capetillo admitted to making "a big mistake" by placing the wrong inserts into Margarito's hand wraps. The commission voted unanimously to revoke Margarito and Capetillo's licenses for at least one year. While it found Margarito did not know about the gloves, it took the line that as head of the team, he was responsible for Capetillo's actions. Since state boxing commissions generally honor suspensions imposed in other states, this action effectively banned Margarito from boxing in the United States.

In November 2009, it emerged that red stains on the hand wraps Margarito used in the Cotto fight were similar to the stains on the inserts seized before the Mosley fight. This has raised suspicions that Margarito's gloves were loaded for that fight and possibly others as well.

A commission has a responsibility to protect fighter's from themselves as well as cheaters. WADA only promotes fair play and they have the most stringent testing to do it, so them not including xylocaine in their testing should tell you something, it's not considered an advantage. You even posted Kizer's concern, protecting the fighters from themselves..xylocaine is not an advantage and everything is telling you it's not, you only have pay attention. And Roach himself said he was not worried about xylocaine.

 

It's not that simple. Without xilocaine Floyd would have simply been unable to punch, and would have had to retire in several occasions or let the opponent outpoint/turn his lights off.

Xilocaine is a bigger vantage than any plaster could ever be, if you have the brittlest and most fragile hands a boxer ever had like Pedjr.

While it's completely useless on a strong handed boxer, the majority.
