Why is margacheato not banned..

[FinitoElDinamita]

Exactly VD... It's pretty retarded to say that Margo was loaded against Cotto... There's no evidence and everybody is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty... plain and simple..

Circumstantial evidence is still evidence, and it's usually all that's available (and forms the basis for real convictions, prison terms, and huge money judgments). And we obviously have that here: he got busted in his very next fight. It's not like we're just speculating that some random fighter loaded his gloves -- the suspicion is that a guy who got busted for loading his gloves in one fight may well have done it in the previous fight.

Even if there's no hard evidence for the Cotto fight, I'm pretty shocked that anyone wants to defend this scumbag. Unless you're going to try to deny he was prepared to cheat in the Mosley fight too. I'm not buying this fight because I can't stand to support this fucker, who ought to be banned for life (which was the point of this thread, remember?).

Your arguement would hold weight if you were in the jury box but margarito isn't on trial so we can only speculate. Do you think he was loaded when he shredded Sebastian Lujan's ear off back in 2005?? If he was in fact loaded against Cotto, then we'd have to assume that he's been loading his whole career.. If that's true, the commision is at fault because how could they not have spotted this for years? What were those guys doing when Margarito's hands were being wrapped?

Personally, I dont believe he was bricked against Cotto... Ultimately, it was his punch resistance and tenacity that won him the bout...

We'll find out in a rematch..
