Ultimately the buck stops with him, there needs to be a sense of personal accountability. He doesn't need to go into the work he did with cancer patients when asked about the wraps. If he didn't know and that's the truth (doubtful but whatever), then say so and THEN be a man and say you were ultimately responsible. Only after that take the initiative to put the pressure on your trainer to find out if it had been done in the past. It really comes down to that, don't make people forget about. That's how a grown man should handle his tribulations, if he feels he is being persecuted then it's on him to explain himself adequately. We ALL know that he had those pads on versus Cotto and probably versus a host of other opponents. If not then you are being naiive.
Now you just being an idiot. If you know than lets see the proof. Were you there when he was getting them wrapped? It amazes me how Cotto groupies still cling to that lame excuse.
There is no proof either way. It is uncertain whether he used them before. We have proof his trainer, Capetillo, tried to use them for the Shane fight and that Capetillo wrapped his hands for previous fights. Surely, at the least it is suspicious. Margarito himself had "no idea" that Capetillo was putting in the cement for the Shane fight, therefore, how would he know if Capetillo was putting them in for any previous fight? He, himself, has no idea. In fact, Capetillo admitted that he had used the cement wrap previously and neither of them denied that it had been used in the past. Every single fight on Margarito's record that Capetillo trained and wrapped him for should have an asterisk next to it and at the bottom of the page a statement saying that it is unsure whether he had cement wraps for this fight. At the end of the day, if Margarito is innocent, this sucks for Margarito because basically Capetillo tarnished every single win on his record because we'll never know if he had wrapped the gloves with cement. To me, this is what made me suspicious of Margarito's innocence. If you were in that situation, and you found out that your trainer had tarnished your reputation and put your career in jeopardy, wouldn't it have really ticked you off? I would have publicly denounced Capetillo immediately and called on all fighters to pay more attention to their trainers when they wrap hands. Margarito did nothing for a long time and actually maintains a relationship with Capetillo to this day.
