A little correction here...they were only caught trying to load wraps vs Mosley. Since that is the only proof admisable in the court of law that is why their sentences were so soft because it was based more on "attempt" rather than the actual assault that happened. I like many Cotto fans point to how Margarito has responded since being caught by the authorities and hell you can look at Luis Resto and he lost by KO 3 times in his career and lost 8 times overall and I think the KO's he lost were to fighters of equal or lesser stature as Billy Collins Jr.
I think Antonio Margarito as a boer is 100% finished, I don't want Cotto to fight him again just because of the money Margarito would be making, he's a despicable person and a disgrace to the sport.
As for Billy Collins Jr., his death was due to a number of things #1 He had an addictive personality #2 His father treated him as a prodigy (from Mozart to Pistol Pete Maravich to Todd Marinovich they are RARELY happy) #3 The injuries sustained in the fight with Resto.....that was the icing on the cake. His father's attitude, the beating he took, the prolonged time outside of the ring, that allowed him to drink more and there you have it. It was "the perfect storm" for tragedy.
