What Margarito was suspended for is definitely on the badder side of breaking rules of boxing.. Like taking steroids or things like that are about trying to enhance your performance and potential or whatever.. But tampering with gloves or wraps to make them harder is really endangering the health of your opponent while they aren't aware of it and can't really defend against it..
When your looking at rules being broken that are there to protect fighters health, there really is no limit to how seriously it can be taken.... It's sad to see a great fighter out of the game, but in a case like this where another fighters health could be affected to the point of brain damage or concussion etc because of illegal activity,, then you couldn't say it's 100% not fair if he was suspended for good..
If they really were much harder and it came into a position that he dominated Shane and the hard collisions with his head put him in hospital, there isn't really a worse way of exploiting the rules of boxing, and incredibly dangerous... So I think Cotto has a case for his point of view, and any boxer who is stepping in the ring should have 100% faith that his opponent hasn't broken rules like that which could seriously put your health in danger..
