Can you prove he didn't?
When asked about the loaded gloves for Shane, Margarito responded that he didn't know his gloves were loaded and he said that responsibility goes to his trainer (which strangely he failed to fire for a long time after he was caught). Well, if he didn't know his trainer loaded his gloves for that fight, what makes you think he didn't know his trainer loaded his gloves for any other fight? The problem for Margarito is that now every single fight he has ever fought with that trainer is tarnished.
And the one time he was caught with loaded gloves and so was forced to fight fair...he was bodied by an underdog 38 year old that had LOST to Cotto within the previous last year. Coincidence? Personally, I think not. At the least it makes you wonder, doesn't it?
I agree......but there are also still those that think OJ was innocent too.

Not gonna fool myself twice into thinking it will be a fight. Margarito is an Arum fighter, like Clottey was an Arum fighter, he isn't gonna beat Pacquiao and it probably won't be much of a contest. Long as Arum can keep fooling fans with the "support the guy mayweather is ducking" while he puts up fights to the point people will accept ANTONIO MARGARITO as an opponent. Why people aren't on Pacquiao or Arums back for not fighting Bradley or Williams who have both openly called out Pacquiao is unbelievable. Bradley and Williams have said they will fight Pacquiao but Arum said no free rides and those guys won't fill arenas. Why is everyone instead of bashing Arum hanging onto his every word like its the gospel truth because he promotes a fighter they like.
Sometimes I think only Mayweather gets flack for doing things that these promoters are blatantly doing. At least Mosley being a Golden Boy fighter is highly ranked and on p4p lists while Margarito is in boxing hell right now.
Why not fight Bradley or fight Williams is my question and why are people just going to accept Margarito as an opponent?
The only reason this crap keeps happening is because fans accept it for their fighters benefit and its crap like this and promotions like this that is killing boxing. Dibella said it best when he said 'we screwed up our own sport' and fans aren't helping it by supporting crap like what Arum is doing. You are gonna have a guy who just one fight ago was busted for having plaster in his gloves that people say should never fight again about to fight on one of the biggest PPV cards against arguably either the p4p 1 or 2 fighter in the world. How can 'fans' of the sport support that?
