this is the first of 5 links on yourube to their last bout:

There was an incident in which margaritos corner was caught tampering with his hand wraps prior to his bout with shane moseley a few yrs back; the hand wraps were found by the CSAC to contain sulfur and calcium which, when combined with oxygen, forms some sort of plaster. This incident resulted in a shadow of doubt which hangs now over all of Margarito's previous victories.

In thee last fight with between these two, cotto came up with accusations of margarito using plaster in his wraps, and he dude seems to be rather butthurt over loosing, thing is margarito swears up and down he did beat him fair and square.

At the time of the first incident, margarito denied any involvement in the plaster in his wraps, his trainer was the one that did his hand wraps.. he faced some sort of sanction and was not allowed to fight for some time.

he is making his comeback but as you can imagine he is often seen as a cheater... TBH i am personally on the fence on this, while i can see the point of not worrying so much about his hand wraps and letting his trainer do them, it is also hard to believe he had no idea this was going on...
