Teddy Atlas on Antonio Margarito's handwrap controversy

"Until the California commissions investigation is completed, and definitive proof produced, responsible members of the boxing community should cease and desist from assuming that proof has somehow already been obtained. And if the accusations in the Mosley fight are indeed proven, people need to remember that this does not prove that it occurred in other fights. Unless definitive evidence emerges that illegal substances were present in prior fights, Margarito and his camp should be assumed to have done nothing wrong, and those victories should not be irresponsibly called into question. Furthermore, if Margarito is cleared of wrongdoing in the Mosley fight, that should be the end of the matter. The evidence is not yet in - boxing fans should not rush to judgment. "

Margarito should be banned from boxing EVERYWHERE for this shit! Lemme sock you in the face with a cast on my fists for 12 rounds and see what happens to you!

just because there are worse crimes doesnt mean what margarito did was ok

and how do we know he's such a good fighter, maybe he started loading his gloves after he lost those fights early in his career.

maybe he's just an average fighter making the best of an unfair advantage.

we wont know how good margarito is for sure unless he comes back and wins some big fights clean.

and i not so sure he should be allowed box again, people have been seriously hurt and killed doing what he did

Margarito got banned from boxing last night in the 10th ROUND by a bitch named, "Karma"

@simondgrass IT was proved twice that MARGARITO is a fucking cheat... 2 yrs ago when he got suspended for loading his gloves after the Mosley fight, and again last night when Cotto proved that MArgaritO Without LOADED GLOVES is an OVERRATED Fraud! Both Mosley & Cotto got their REVENGE and served him a beating like a ghetto ass mom wooping her bad ass kid. I... Told.... you... I... Was...Gonna...Wooop..Yo...Asss­...For...Cheating... Cotto not bad at all for "hitting like a girl"

@djtito787 There's still no proof it even happened. You can't just accuse and assume.

@djtito787 exactly to what he did to cotto

@warmachine1983 Well wait, Manny could do it :) . PEDS are a beautiful thing

[turkyish]

i like teddy atlas because he speaks his mind,,,,plus he hasnt bought into this pacquaio the greatest of all time bullshit

[warmachine1983]

@jessebrito11 Trinidad never loaded his gloves, it was in the Hopkins fight where they went into his dressing room and didnt like how they were wrapping his hands, not because he was putting anything illegal in there. He was never the same because he moved up in weight. He was an absolute beast at Welterweight, no fucking doubt about that!

Only the California comission knows the real situation, but is so fucking strange that they suspended margarito for a year without making an official statement about the supposed illegal handwraps because so far they had'nt do that.
