Margarito plans September return

[Galaxy]

F*ck him! I hope he's dissed by all the elite guys! Get a new job Tony, its over!

[LEGION]

Margarito was one of my fave current fighters and all time faves as well; but fook him now. Either he's stupid from taking too many punches and didn't think to make sure Capetillo was doing him right with the gloves, or he's a liar. Either way I will vehemently root against him. Pendejo caca head

I can't wait to see the reaction the crowd gives him; he will not be popular me thinks. He needs to ride in the arena in a bullet proof golf cart or face getting bombed with spit balls made from plaster from the crowd

[Kirkland Laing]

He's going to come back and make a ton of money. He'll be given a tuneup he can't lose and then get a Cotto rematch. There's just too much potential money to be made there for that fight not to happen. It'll get massive publicity, a lot of it about how boxing is so sleazy that this guy can be allowed to fight again etc., but publicity is publicity and the rematch is a surefire big money PPV fight, thus it'll happen.

He could easily fight somewhere in Mexico in a comeback fight. The crowd wont be bad at all, may even cheer for him I bet. He will win the fight pretty impressively, people will cheer, he gets a title shot, most people turn a cheek to it and the reception wont be nearly as bad.

Just my thoughts

[reinvaldez]

That's good to hear. We will wait you Margarito fight again on ring.

Caught with Plaster like substance in JANUARY OF 09. It's now June and the ban is already over?

BS, if the punishment is a year, make it a year.

Yea, like you and Spicoli have already suggested, somehow the math just isn't working out for me. Not sending much of a message to the boxing world about how serious cheating and defaming the sport is. I guess not too serious.

If they allow him back, they should make him the first boxer to wear "see-through" gloves!

Better yet walk him through a "plaster detector" or place him under "handwrap supervision" for the remainder of his career.

Got to come up with something... any of that sort, to eliminate the lingering cloud of doubt, left in the wake of his dishonest and unprofessional practice.

By the way, has he apologized to those concerned thoroughly? Or has he written...
"I'm sorry for being dishonest, to have seriously endangered the lives and limbs my fellow boxers for my corrupt boxing ways, and I a pledge to refrain from repeating these same offenses in my undertaking as a professional boxer, in the immediate future"

100 x as a form of "extreme punishment". LOL. Maybe just "Sorry" 1000x on the blackboard!


Sorry fella's I see it as a pathetic display of governance, should they allow him back. This could be a minority opinion, nevertheless, it has to be brought out. Boxing should be wary of this...

The mighty moolah! Power on display...

everyone is under "handwrap supervision."

[J_Undisputed]

Personally, I think the guys ruined. The mental edge is gone and almost any game fighter can use that bit of doubt hanging in Margaritos mind and snowball it to a win over 10-12 rounds. With the exception of Cotto, because lets face it... the uppercut just cant miss Cotto.... oh and Judah... Zab's hes got his own set of problems.

[El Kabong]

I think we'll find that Mosley ruined Toni worse than this handwrap situation.

I would rather Margarito be broke and never fight again than him get paid to fight again, but if he does fight again I want him destroyed!!! I want it to look like a couple Mafia hoods worked him over with baseball bats....and that's better than he deserves that lying cheating cocksucker!

[Mr140]

Well look i not biggest fan of Margarito but look dudes but from what i read he was caught before he used it in the ring right. So that means the only actual proof that he had in using it was before a fight. Everthing else is speculation his fights varied on how well he did so i cant make it out. Also the found traces of shit and never really said anything about it. I mean if they used a right amount you be able to just say it was plaster. So pretty much all they got him for was attempt to use it right.

[ElTerribleMorales]

i say that Margarito should be able to fight again as long as he fulfills his actual suspension, it hasn't been a year and i find it very disrespectful on Margarito and Arum's part by trying to get out of it earlier than he's supposed to, he wouldn't be getting nearly as much crap (he deserves every bit of it) if he would have just taken his suspension quietly and waited till next year to gun for his license

[Mr140]

Good point El but if he gets it lefted from the board then who cares really.

[boozeboxer]

Does anyone think my letter to the CA Athletic Commission helped?
