I love how everyone likes to bash on Margarito like every fight he's had with loaded wraps, but gives Pac the benefit of the doubt.

I love how people put possible steroid use and loaded handwraps in the same basket. Having said that, obviously Margarito is never going to get away with anything again, and I don't doubt Pacquiao is on something. I just can't for the life of me look at the two in the same vein. Understand the arguement for it to some extent, but loaded wraps is a deadly weapon and an idication of despicablly low morality.
You dont think steroid use is as bad as loaded wraps? Yeah, being able to have great stamina and power in the late rounds when your opponent is gasing out could be just as dangerous. Look at Cotto's face after the pac fight its about as bad as after the margarito fight.
That's why I said I understand the arguement to an extent. Boxing is a deadly sport and any unfair advantage a fighter brings is disgraceful. But actually loading wraps before the fight is monsterous, only a complete thug would even think about it. Wheras you or anyone else can't tell me any top teir fighters or athletes in any sport aren't on any number of things that aren't detected, you really never know. Pacman is an incredible athlete with sensational work ethic, whether he is on anything performance enhancing or not. Margarito is basically a tough guy who very likely did use plaster in at least a couple of fights. It makes absolutely no sense that Mosley would have been the first opponent he considered using it against, after just coming off a Cotto victory who had beaten Mosley.
