I read this story yesterday.

I think there has been an element of people standing by Margarito before the verdict/findings came out.

What (some) people have made a deal over is that a Mexican is speaking out against a fellow Mexican.
I think the deal in this forum as well is that people like Cotto very much so the fact that Margarito beat Cotto the way he did and even though he WAS CLEARED for that fight people still will throw crap at him no matter what. If Margarito fought Mayweather or ODLH instead of Cotto and beat them the same way and later was caught vs Mosley, I wonder if people would make a big deal out of it and come up with all these countless topics about his wraps, making fun of him, etc.
You know... just out of curiousity... how exactly do you "clear" a Margarito for the Cotto fight? Not wanting to start World War III here... just want to know. Think about it. It wasn't even an issue during or after the Cotto fight. How exactly do you "clear" a cheating fighter from his previous fight? Did the wraps from THAT fight get dredged up from the garbage dump and examined the way THESE wraps were? And if not, then how exactly do you "clear" Margarito from cheating in the Cotto fight? I'm just curious. I don't know... maybe I'm going out on a limb here. But if he was gonna do it for the Mosley fight, until he got caught, that is... isn't there just the SLIGHTEST possibility he may have gotten away with it for the Cotto fight, and who knows how many others before it?

Just curious.
