this cannot be true Roach to train Margarito

[jon09]

Until fighters are banned for life then this kind of controversy will go on and on. If Margarito has to be the fall guy then so be it. Roach is a top trainer and he should be setting an example by distancing himself from people like Margarito.

Then should fighters be banned for performance enhancing drugs? Should Shane should be banned also?

If it can be proven that it truly enhances performance, then of course.

Ofcourse they should be, its cheating and needs to be taken out of all sports. A 1 year ban for Margarito is hardly tough punishment seeing he only would've had one or two fights anyway

Yes, they should, and that includes Mosley. Its no skin off my nose if Mosley was to be banned for life, no matter how talented or nice a man he may be.

Well now atleast Margarito has found someone to tell him the difference between boxing gauze and a hollow block.

Roach is a very integrity type of person, if that story is true then he must see something at least to do it for.

At the very least there will be no hand wrap situations but im guessing Roach is one of those people that wouldn't blame Margarito for what happened but his trainer and hand wrappers.

If the story is true Margarito will probably be there as a sparrign partner for Pac against Hatton

Not a chance you will see this happen. Margarito is suspended......

I think Roach might be ridiculed by some idiot knee jurk reactions but his stature in the boxing community will bring some believability to Margarito's claim of ignorance. Now that you have two promoters pitting against each other in Margarito's review to be reinstated and fingers pointing to the trainer, Margarito has a chance of getting back into the game. Only time will tell if the public is willing to forgive this guy. If it apparent that the public is not looking to string the guy up, then most likely the commission will reinstate him. I think it is reasonable to say that if Margarito can convince Roach he is ignorant that puts some doubt in many minds.

Personally, the first thought that comes to mind, when I hear that Margarito was teary eyed explaining his story to Roach is that the guy was pleading for his career rather than portraying his integrity, but I would have to see him explain it himself before I would pass judgment on that. Without being in the commission shoes, I'd have to say that because Roach has come out and said he believes the guy that it puts doubt in my mind as to weather he truly knew or turned to his blind eye. If I were in the commissions shoes, I swear I'd put this guy through the gauntlet before I let my doubt have the better of me.

Margarito can't even spar with Pacquiao because he is suspended? I thought they only suspend you from active fighting but not sparring wouldnt it count as training.

Roach would be violating the order if he let Margarito spar with Pacquiao in California. And even if it was done outside of California, they could say he was violating the spirit of the order, so there is no way it would happen.

It's just about money .
Integrity is nothing and everybody has their price.
Anyone believe nowadays that fighters wander into a gym and ask somebody to train them ?
If you believe that then you are jusr stupid .
this is a marriage of convenience

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Yet another reason for me to think Roach is a big mouthed clown.

Before he was saying as a boxer you know what's on your hands/in your gloves...he should be banned for life etc, now this?

Roach said Margarito should be banned for life if found guilty...

But I think Team Margarito is putting all the blame on trainer Javier Capetillo and stated that Margarito have no knowledge at all about this mess...

EXACTAMUNDO !!!!! But the people calling for Margarito to be banned for life are the same people applauding Steroid Shane & Roidy Roy
GBP should not be commenting on Margarito at all when one of their partners is a known steroid abuser
