    If both of these fighters fought each other at their prime at a catchweight between welter and light middle, who would win?

    Tito for me, margaito defence is poor and he is too slow, tito would be throwing fast accurate bombs which would be landing on margo all night, even margarito chin would succumb in my opinion, tito by tko around about 8

    Margarito.

    He has a strong chin and a high workrate with limited skills. Nobody in the history of boxing has the tools to contend with that, as nobody in the entire history of boxing has ever had a strong chin and high workrate. His limited boxing skills(an overrated thing boxing skills, especially at the elite level) are saved by his chin and workrate against any ATG up to MW, probably even LHW. If Cotto couldn't do it, nobody could.

    Ambition_Def wanted me to post that for him.

    I'll personally take Tito by KO within 6 rounds.

    Margo drops Tito early, but gets pummelled with flush shot after flush shot from one of the very best finishers of all-time, and collapses after 10 rounds at most.

    Tito via late stoppage

    There's only too many massive hooks even an iron-chinned warrior like Margarito can take before he gets pulled out of there (I'm thinking the ref or the corner would have mercy)
