Can You Imagine If Trinidad And Margarito Were From Same Era?

If you wanna know how that fight would play out, just look for Tito vs Campas on youtube.

I don't know how you guys add the vid right onto the post but I'll try. Otherwise you can check.

Campas like Margarito is 5' 10 1/2", granite chin, non stop workrate, in your face and tough as nails.

Campas' rock solid chin held up for some time but the bouncing and whiplash like movement of his neck can't hide the fact that Tito was landing BOMBA ATOMICA on him.
Like me people forget that Tito has good boxing skills aside from his legendary power, he was moving backwards most of the time but was still outboxing the other guy.
A GREAT fight from one of the best welterweights of all-time probably the hardest punching too.

Well I won't sit here and compare Margarito to Campas because that would be unfair. But lets talk a bit about the Cotto - Margarito fight. There was something interesting going on in the fight. Maybe after the stoppage some of you forgot. Yeah, Cotto was hitting Margarito almost at will. I mean the only thing Cotto didn't hit margarito with was the stool. It that was Trinidad in there, Margarito's face would probably resemble that guy from the Goonies. Please don't say Tito would never land that many shots cuz Tito was one of the most accurate punchers there was in his day.

Now let's talk about Trinidad's lossess. The guys who beat Tito did it with defense, more than offense. (In the case of RJJ, it might not've made much of a difference but that was at 170 and we are talking about 147, a weight Tito never lost in) Margarito has underrated defense but he is still way short of the league of Hopkins, Wright and Jones. So short it is not even worth thinking about it.

Bottom line, a come forward, low defense fighter would never, never beat Tito especially not at Welterweight. You could argue that Tito would not KO him and I would have no problem agreeing with you. But to suggest Margarito would beat Trinidad. A man that not even a Prime DLH could beat, a Prime Vargas could'nt hurt and a prime Hopkins (One of the best Middleweights of all time) took 12 rounds to finally stop. I just don't see how anybody would even consider Margarito had a chance to beating Trinidad at 147.
