Manny,
This is my problem with boxing, the rules are never ever defined or properly enforced. Margarito and his trainer should be in jail not suspended for a year. They could have caused permanent damage to Cotto's career if not outright killed him. Margarito hit Cotto with real stone hands, what is the difference between this thuggery and the one perpetrated by Luis Resto and Panama Lewis? Resto and Lewis went to jail and so should have Margarito and his trainer.

Well, Bowe didn't need to tell me that for me to know that after he won the title his priorities went down the toilet.

He is the Carl Pavano of boxing. JAJAJA.

Well Tupap, Mr. Pavano is undergoing a resurgence in his career and sadly Mr. Bowe is looking to make a comeback although his slurs his speech terribly and no state will sanction him. Very sad.

Let me tell you what the difference, in my opinion, is:

Those 2 criminals, Resto and Lewis should've gone to prison for 50 years instead of the 2 years and some months they served.....for manslaughter.

They both committed a much bigger crime than Margarito.....granted, Margarito and his trainer should go to prison but their crime was far less "criminal" than the other 2 cowards, Resto and Lewis.

This is what happened to Billy Collins after that fight, on which Panana Lewis, with Resto's acknowledge, not only took most of the gloves padding out, but also put plaster on Resto's "wrap"......Billy Collins:

1- Wasn't able to fight again because of blurred vision,
2- Became an alcoholic,
3- Became a drug user,
4- Couldn't hold a job because boxing was all he knew how to do,
5- Killed hinself 9 months after the fight, when still in his early 20's.!!!.

That's the difference.

Obviously Billy Collins suffered a much more horrible fate but respectfully I disagree in that the final results do not dismiss the intent of the villainy. The intent was to inflict as much damage as possible as to win the fight without regard to the physical well being of the opponent. That one opponent happened to suffer far more than the other was due more to their fighting styles than any consideration by the perpetrators.

yea pipino cuevas lost the title to hearns and he was recognized as the jaw breaker. virgil hill was around for a long time. i dont take hearns carrera at light heavyweight very seriously though

andrew maynard was the biggest waste of talent to come out of d.c. big crack head

never intended 2

I know Brodel....I just forgot to put my signature "JAJAJAJA" after "intelligence".

[/QUOTE]You are correct......they both did it because they wanted to have an advantage and didn't think about the consequences.
