How would have Margarito done in the early 80's or 90's WW divisions?

I think A Margarito/Trinidad fight would not be a certainty for Tito at Welter.No doubts about Tito being the more accurate but he had rough times when backing straight out,got clipped a good deal and I can not undersell Margaritos sheer volume, angles and mentality breaking up Titos punch rhythm,making for some sure fire heated and vulnerable moments Imo.And you can forget about all of those Campas comparison's

...Campas fought squat and squared...not to mention he displayed signs of "Give" in spots if you know what I mean.

The level of confidence and self belief alone displayed by these two was and is always amazing.Love Tito,always came out smiling ear to ear,yelling out to anyone that was within earshot. Ive got one from the 90's that would collide with Margarito in an absolute car wreck war.....Jose Luis Lopez!!He had a short run but my god,what a iron jaw,awesome body work etc.

You could make an argument that Jose Luis Lopez was the 90s, Welterweight version of Antonio Margarito. Except Jose Luis Lopez had more power IMO, but i loved his fight with Ike Quartey.
