what fucking research? dude was caught with plaster blocks in his gloves, with 20 witnesses.
Liar.
He wasn't caught with plaster at all, he had an old wrap that was too stiff to meet requirements. The allegation was that the wrap was wet and stiff. That then transcended into 'plaster of paris' - It's been proven beyond doubt, with actual scientific evidence that plaster of paris would be impossible to create in a boxing glove, it's a ludicrous idea.
Nazim Richardson said he saw plaster blocks fall out of the wraps, this was later proven to be completely false, you can see all of the documented evidence, the evidence is a hand wrap that's old and not legal. That does not in any way, shape or form equate to blocks of plaster.
Miguel Cotto showed a picture of Margarito's hand wraps after he was celebrating in the ring, he accused a piece of fluff on the wrap as being a crack in the plaster. That's the kind of evidence we are talking about here. If you had plastered casts on your hands, would you be walking around the ring shaking people's hands with your wraps fully exposed and supposedly cracked? It's laughable.
If they had any evidence at all that suggested Margarito had plaster in his gloves, they'd have pursued a criminal investigation. The evidence isn't there, the accusation is based off the plaster of paris idea, which would be laughed away in court due to how it's proven to be impossible to implement under a boxing glove.
If you look at this with an open and objective mind, yet still believe that Margarito had literal plaster under his gloves you are an idiot, plain and simple. If you do disagree, show me the pictures of the plaster please and we can go from there.
