I have Trinidad by brutal stoppage. Trini had a bit better skills and threw his punches in a straight, not looping fashion.
The guy took almost 300 punches from Cotto who isn't a true welterweight. Margarito's chin will get him in trouble. A finisher like Trinidad having someone that easy to hit in front of him!
I don't think anyone at Welter would have been able to KO Margo. The only way to stop him would be by severe cuts. Not even the great Trinidad would have been able to have the Ref stop (unless due to cuts). This would have been one hell of a fight. By the way, Trinindad didnt have great boxing skills. As far as boxing skills I think Cotto was better than Trinindad.
Tito late stoppage on accumulation, possibly a ref/corner stoppage. I can't see a 1-punch KO, but after a prolonged beating I don't think Marg will be able to last the distance. He is simply outclassed in ever facet, a fighter with his leaky defense would simply be eating uncountable amounts of punches against Tito. We saw against Clottey especially how open he is for left hooks, not a good thing against Tito. Also Trinidad's punches are faster and straighter, he'd be getting off first and causing far more damage. I think this would be similiar to Yory Boy Campas fight except it lasts untill the later rounds (although I dont't think the stoppage would be as brutal). Tito late TKO
wtf u talkin about ya'll actin like he cant be hurt watch the santos fight where he was rocked numerous times and held and other crap, specially in round 9 where he ran all the way back to the ropes and santos dont punch like tito
just had to settle something. Can't see how some actually think Margarito would have a chance considering if the first fight with Santos went more rounds he would have been stopped. Just youtube that first round of that fight.
Not really, especially not against old time greats who have far, FAR, higher bias in their favor. The fact of the matter is that Tito had ludicrous power at WW and carried it up right on up to 160 as evidenced by the Joppy fight. Tito beat bangers and boxers alike and was only ever troubled by fighters that could throw him off his own game. With a guy like Margarito he's going to have an EASY target to hit. And I don't give a crap how good his chin is, NO ONE is taking flush shots from Tito all night and seeing 12.
why is this even being discussed. tito would starch every ww in the division, maybe besides Floyd. Do you think Margo would go 12 with RJJ in 2007?
