I thought margarito had something illegal in his gloves for that fight

This is one of the most ridiculous myths in all of sports. It was his next fight when he was caught attempting to use put handwraps that were wet with unhardend plaster. He never even got them on his hand before Mosley's trainer and the commission caught him.

Go look up Luis Resto. There is ZERO evidence Margarito ever actually used plaster wraps in any boxing match. And with the measures in place because of Luis Resto (who BTW was caught in the ring right after the fight) it's impossible to get away with such a thing anywhere much less in what Jim Lampley called boxing's Superbowl of that year lol.
