Cotto Wants Lifetime ban for Margarito

After laboratory test proved that Antonio Margarito that illegal substances were placed on the hand wrap of Antonio Margarito before he fought and lost to Sugar Shane Mosley in Los Angeles.

Now one of the opponents of Antonio Margarito in his previous fights before he fought Mosley, and Top Rank Superstar Miguel Cotto has come out and said that one year punishment to Margarito and his trainer Javier Capetillo is not punishment fitting the crime. In that fight, also I watched on it that before Mosley punished the Tijuana Tornado, Mosley's trainer Naazim Richardson spotted the handwrap and blew the whistle.

The Cotto - Margarito fight that I also watched, Margarito was really beaten badly by Antonio Margarito and knockout Cotto in the late round of their fight in Las Vegas, is calling for the Panama Lewis Treatment, a lifetime ban in boxing - for the former world champion Antonio Margarito.

I will agree with Cotto to give Margarito a lifetime ban if the board prove that he was doing this in all of his fights or previous fights. But with Margarito's trainer Capetillo, I disagree to give him that much punishment becuase he's only one of the accesories on that mistake committed by Margarito.

Cotto has also a reason why he is complaining because he has a doubt that those illegal substances placed in the handwrap of Margarito might be also put in their last fight. Cotto last staement was he will going elsewhere after his contract will expire with the Top Rank at the end of 2009. And will do his own promotional company and will self manage his career.
