Calling it PoP is a meme, but the mix of plaster whatever the hell they get to make it work is legitimate. Margarito got caught and suspended for it before the Mosely fight. Margarito was on a couple fight winning streak against some big names, mainly Cotto. Cotto is a phenomenal fighter and Margarito completely destroyed him, Marg was tough, but should have never been capable of that type of damage. That win basically launched him in the states and shortly thereafter got the Mosely fight. Before the fight Marg's trainer was caught putting some kind of plaster pad wrapped into his fighters wraps. It was removed, but since this was prefight, the fight went forward with legit wraps. Mosely beat the brakes off of Marg as everyone started to figure out that Margarito has likely pulling this scam for a little while. Queue 1 year suspension, and a tune up fight against an ok Mexican fighter than you'd expect Margarito to knock out (was known to stop fight and not go the distance). And he somehow got a Pacquaio fight which he got destroyed for 12, Pacman saying he purposely punished him... and a return fight with Cotto which Cotto stopped in the 9th with a tko he was beating Margarito so bad, post fight Cotto said "suddenly he doesn't hit so hard".
After his little US punishment tour he went back to Mexico to fight plumbers.
