    I doubt anyone could stop him at WW UD yes, but Cotto didnt even make him blink

    If it could have been done, I'd say Hearns would have been the one. His power at WW was insane with that cobra strike of a straight right hand.

    Uhhhh Maybe a young Mike Tyson...Margarito on the night of the Cotto fight was nearly indestructible. Thats the stuff legends and movies are made of.

    Love Trinidad through career....but I do not see him stopping Margarito.Much faster but he hi,self would have some very vulnerable moments.

    i think he would have, both fighters are similar as in that neither are fast starters, i'd say that both have great stamina, as Trinidad proved through out his career, but speed, power, and a stiffer jab, imo would have helped Trinidad bust him up, and probably win off a swelling stoppage

    Agreed on the speed=power asset for Tito.Im thinking Tony starts fast here as Tito was suseptible in the early stages.While Tito was dropped quite a few ,It was always telling the way he just sort of popped up to resume the battle with minimal effects and walked in.I think Trinidads downfall would be his so-so ability at fighting while backing up,he could juke off the sides well but Margarito would be on him like a smothering blanket from mass angels and while he would catch some his volume and power would keep Tito in check.

    I don't think SRR or Trinidad would have stopped him. Both of those guys would have won decisions IMO, particularily SRR who was smart enough to know that with a guy like that, cruising to a decision would be your best bet.

    Hearns would be more apt to bang with Marg and thus more likely to stop him IMO.
