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

[The Rookie Fan]

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.

All I can say is holy smokes. That would have been one hell of a fight.

Two supremely conditioned guys. About same height.

Power edge goes to Tito easily.

Speed Tito.

Determination is close and a toss up but Margo is the type of guy who goes into fight without any major advantages and comes out winning clear victories due to his workrate, stamina and unbelieavable chin.

Man I we were only a few years of from getting that too.

That fight wouldn't even need a ref.

Well if there was no ref, then Margarito would need to wear a cup made of steel because Tito would be throwing low blows from the opening bell.

Would have loved to have seen this fight. I think Trinidad wins it though.
