Gov, Arnold Schwarznegger: "Team Margarito is going to pay for cheating.

[Spicoli]

Gov. Arnie should worry more about getting his State out of financial ruin.DAMN...who busted The Governatter in the lip

Tony or any fighter for that matter should not be counted on to micro manage their respected corner people/trainer in doing their jobs.Mind needs to be on the ring and opponent.

Dunno, but I thought it was fitting for the thread

Looks like Shane got a little carried away,Arnolds all messed up.Looks fresh

I liked Tony, but its pay to play...if he played around with the rules he has to pay.....If he loaded his gloves ban him for life.....

I respected Tony as a fighter even though I rooted for Cotto and Mosley (alot of times I go for the underdog), but if he did choose to cheat in this way he should be banned...

Well. He did get beat up for 25 minutes. That's a biblical penance.

I personally think Margo knew and that this was either the first time or one of a very few times he's tried this. If we are to believe he packed on the lbs after Cotto maybe he wanted to "counterbalance". Doesn't make it right and if it is proven he knew (don't know how he wouldn't have) he should receive a lengthy suspension. Tyson got a year for biting a piece of Holyfield's ear off, Judah got suspended a year for fighting people not his opponent; Margarito should get at least 2-3 years. He could have permanently injured or killed Mosley.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

AM should get longer for something he may not have done/ known about and for 'potentially' hurting Moseley when he didn't?

Let's not forget Tyson's attempted arm break? How long should he have got for that?

I think people need to calm down a tad.

I did say once he has been found guilty/libel/whatever. I don't want to lynch the guy, but had Richardson not seen he certainly would have been hitting Mosley with those. It's not as if he had an attack of conscience and removed them himself. I personally feel there's no way he didn't know. If he didn't see it, it would have felt different and it should have at least begged the question, "Hey, did you do something different with the wraps?"

If I plot to kill my wife and I get arrested I wouldn't get a slap on the wrist for that. I don't think he should be banned, but I think his punishment should be significant. It would have been worse than what Judah did and it would have been worse than what Tyson did to Holyfield. Both were year-long suspensions and the Tyson attempted arm break should have been another suspension. It's probably the difference between a travel call on a lesser player versus Lebron James getting away with the same thing. Margarito gets nowhere near the credit a Tyson would. I'm not saying it's right, just saying how it probably is.

It's not the "potential" cheating by hurting another boxer that he should be punished. You are supposed to follow the rules and if true, he didn't "almost" cheat because he didn't get in the ring. He cheated and got caught. Or else, the commission wouldn't have taken the sample. They would just say "Ok, you know better Antonio. Behave" lol.

“I’ve spoken to some people over there,” the Nevada source said. “They are going to bring the hammer down on these guys. It doesn’t help the Margarito team’s situation that Gov, Schwarznegger was sitting at ringside. At the end of the day, the governor feels that it’s his commission and he wants any wrongdoers held accountable.”

Why would you respect a guy (if he did cheat) for being a cheat? We are given the hint (Read between the lines) with the round about leak from the California commission to the Nevada Commission that he's going to get hammered. You don't need give someone time to prepare a legal defense if he is innocent! You clear yourname right away to prevent undo innuendo and rumors from doing damage to your reputation. Or do you think the commission is really that stupid in this day and age of the internet?

Who is going to believe that crap "he didn't know"?

And they are telling us that Capetillo will play the fall guy so Margarito can continue his career. Who the hell will give this guy the dignity of a fight if he's crew is found guilty. Cotto? for what? he was beating Margarito on the cards and without the plaster advantage he's done! Once this news is offical the guy is well done! His promoter is the only guy that can save his ass and he'll probably ream it more that prison would.

ok, how do you prove he did know - if it's true

[fan johnny]

Ok, let's assume the foreign substance was actually plaster and that is the key. Do you really think or believe he didn't know?

You have to get Margarito to confess he knew, by addressing the normal behavior of hand wrapping. It's basically a game at this point. Like the article says is there going to be a fall guy? And will the commission use the hammer on Margarito and to what degree if there is?

[DC Amateur Boxing]

Show me any credible source who's been in boxing that is saying that it's possible that he didn't know - besides Margarito. There's your proof. It's like getting a haircut and walking outside and saying you don't know what your haircut looked like because you just got out the chair, paid and walked out. . .not even looking in the mirror first. lol. Would you believe that? Exactly.

If the barber sprayed your hair and told you it was hair spray when really it was bleach you wouldn't know about it until your hair went blond...

What a shit analogy.

If you don't know the difference from the smell of hair spray and the smell of bleach than I would have to say that it is safe to say that you probably don't know your head from your azz either and they probably smell the same too.
