    Just watch Trinidad vs Campas for an idea of how this fight ends.

    Well that's an oversimplification of Tito resume after the Hopkins fight, Winky has never been kayoed so how can you hold that against Tito and its not like Tito landed anything special on Winky. And Roy was simply too big for a way past prime Tito to handle. And recently Nazim Richardson said that Tito's wraps were just an "abrasion against the rules" and not an outright weapon.

    Margarito walks right into some of the most accurate powershots in recent years that we've seen displayed. He's fighting the best finisher he's ever been in the ring with, his style, together with his skillset, plus sharing a ring with Felix Trinidad equals suicide

    I'm NOT holding it against him that he didn't KO Winky.

    I'm recalling that he was a clear favourite, and was shut out 120 - 108 in one of the most one-sided bouts I've watched.




    He landed almost nothing on Wright.




    My point still stands.


    Tito didn't have much resume AFTER the wrapping issues were brought to light.

    It IS speculation though, which is not something that can be rated objectively or with any resonable degree of reliability.

    The "Battle of the Hand Wraps".

    I think both should use their "illegal" stuff, and the fighters would
    hitting the canvas every round.

    With two years to reflect what do you think JM? :yep

    My call stands...Tito can win this in any fashion you care to mention.

    He has the power and accuracy to cut Marga's workrate right down...busting him up terribly in the process.

    Looking back at fights of Margo when he was younger (ie: vs. Sergio Martinez or Antonio Diaz) when his punches were straighter and crisper than they have been in recent fights, he actually does remind me somewhat of a poor man's Tito. Still, I'd favor the quicker, more precise combos of the actual Tito to win out in a slugfest.
