    Ha, shows me to post without actually having watched the whole thing myself huh Always thought Lewis didn't serve any jail time for some reason, guess he did. Still, should have been a lot more than Resto.

    I find it ironic that just about all boxing fans are utterly disgusted with Panama Lewis yet dozens of fighters still hired him to train them - Tyson, Judah, Gatti, Botha, Ibragimov etc

    What does that say about boxing?

    He probably charges a low fee and he's not a bad trainer so...... fighters tryin to save money....

    I dont see why fighters should not hire him if he can help them win fights.

    Obviously this is alot bit worse than margarito antics..but lets compare

    Yet again, bob gets away with only a year suspension and he still lands a massive payday with pac and another with cotto!

    I know im alone on this but i believe that he would have had plaster in the fight against cotto and changed cottos career and life by cheating.

    He should have been jailed but yet again nothing happens when that c@nt bob arum is involved.

    Dont even compare margarito to resto. You got to Get your facts straight. There were traces of substance of paris in margos gloves.

    There was less padding in the gloves....?
    My best friend had a pro record of 8-1-1, with 1 KO. The fight where he scored his one ko, they were taking pictures before the fight, during the afternoon. The gloves had no padding in them at all, and those were the fight gloves and everybody knew it.
    When my friend learned that the 'bag gloves for the pictures' were the fight gloves, he almost cried. Being a fighter, he went on with the fight. But he left his boxer style in the locker room, figuring that he'd get busted up fighting with those gloves. He went out and scored a first round ko, the only ko of his career.
    My point is that, for many years and in many places, guys fought with fucked up gloves and just dealt with it. No commissions and fighting in the other guy's hometown to make extra money, that is, historically, boxing.
    If Billy Collins, may he rest in peace, was getting pot-shotted by a journeyman, in his first step up, he had probably gone as far as he was going anyway.

    Ya well this is not 1880 and Resto in not John L Sullivan. Perhaps they should have just removed the gloves. Resto had the punching power of a 47.5 hour Med Fly. They die at 48. Its just as criminal to me that nobody bothered throughout the fight. How could some official not know something was afoot? They should do a dime a piece for incompetence.

    Fighters pick celebrity trainers and have for close to a century. Garcias telephone program worked wonders for Donaire.

    Indeed although he has not been allowed in a corner since Collins on this continent. I remember seeing him sitting in the bar for a Judah fight. Shame they didn't have iphones then. He could have at least texted in some advice.

    The fighters, some of whom are heroes to millions, must think like Finito - he's a good trainer so it doesn't matter what he's done wrong.

    Therefore, why are fans so outraged by his actions?

    Was his crime really that bad?
