Antonio Margarito has one of the best chins I have ever seen at welterweight. Felix Trinidad hit like a wrecking ball and he took that power to 160. If these two fighters fought, they would obviously go at each other. It's conceivable that Margarito could hurt Trinidad. But as an opinion, would Trinidad stop Margarito or would Margarito walk through the punches like he did with Cotto? For the record, I favor Trinidad in this fight. But I can see some back and forth action if the fight happened.
Could Trinidad take Margos assault for 12 rds. when he found out he couldn't hurt him let alone ko Margo.
Margaraito wasn't even momentairly stun with Cintron or Cotto.
I think he would have just been broken down faster...and have had a couple of points where Tito's left would land so cleanly that he'd be wobbled and knocked down...but I could see Marg lasting the distance after being hurt and I could also see him getting stopped..
I don't see Tito getting stopped by Marg though...I think Tito would be hurting Marg too much
i dont know... but as far as I know... margaritos name shouldnt be allowed in the same sentence with TITOs.. we are talking here to an ATG...future hall of fame... and margo is waaaaaaaaaaaaayyy below that level...
if vargas lasted 11 i see margarito easily fighting 24 rounds with tito
u can see margarito easily fighting with godzilla for one month... so.. what else is new?? :boxing:
no one can ko margarito
he was never hurt against cotto or cintron the most devastating punchers at 147 and u expect trinidad to not only hurt him but ko him?
that's what they said about campas.
tito was a slow starter always finshed strong.most of the time.and anyone who doesn't think tito wouldn't have ko margarito just lol.trust tito could crack middleweights he could crack anybody he could hit.period.
AMEN Second that
if vargas lasted 11 i see margarito easily fighting 24 rounds with tito
:wtf1: wow!!! The Vargas that fought Tito at 154 would have beat Margarito silly for 12 rounds. Crazy fan that you are man. You are talking about Tito Trinidad ask Campas who has never been stopped until Trinidad how those punches felt. No WW of this era could have beat Tito at WW. Tito as well is 5'11" with Massive Power that even Margarito would have dreamed on.
well, could felix have lasted 8 or more rounds throwing everything at marg and still have enough left for a late ko?????? i am not so sure.....maybe, but not sure. plus we all know tito's chin is good, but far from granite.
Well if you don't know the answer to that you know crap about Tito specially in the WW div. He threw at every round including the 12 bombs in every fight.(while they lasted).
Very hard to call with Titos chin not being the most durable.
However, he almost always did recover extremely well after a knockdown.
With that said, Tony is a pretty good finisher as well.
Double KO perhaps?

btw, great fantasy fight post. A firefight between a prime Tito and Margs!!!!IMO, this one would be a slugfest classic!!!!! I would pay whatever:boxing:...
Vargas didnt have a chin? Maybe later in his career when his weight fluxuated but when he was in his prime he had a pretty good chin.
I agree Vargas had a chin, wars like the one with Tito ruined that shit. Tito also ruined Reid and Joppy. Honestly that muthaphucka could crack like nobody's business and the only way to really beat him was not to really let him hit you (ala) OLDH. I really dig Margs and he's one of the most indomitable welters I've ever seen but the way he would be there for Tito all night and the way he cuts???!!!! I got an image of Tito pushing off with his elbow in Margs throat in a clench and then unleashing that right cross, left hook combo!!!!! He would be fuuuckkked up if he made it to the final bell... Tito by late referee/doctor stoppage or UD:boxing:
Margarito is a better fighter than either one. That's not debatable to me
now he is, compare them then, i doubt it.
and this whole china chin shit with vargas this is tito he was fighting.of course his shit is gonna look like china.
David Reid lasted all 12. Vargas (as skilled as he may be) lasted till the 12th without a chin. I think it'd be a very competitive fight.
if i remember rightly Reid did not last the 12
is margarito as good as vargas or reid as a boxer?no.he's there to be hit.alot.and no cintron does not hit harder than tito.
Margarito is a better fighter than either one. That's not debatable to me
Absolutely not.
Antonio Margarito may be the most underrated welter of this decade but Felix Trinidad is the best 147lber since a prime Pernell Whitaker moved up. And everything Margarito did, he did better.
Trinidad had both the power to stop Margarito and the stamina to outlast him. He was often known as a slow starter - most of his knockdowns at welter came in the first two rounds. But it wasn't because of his chin; Tito would often get caught peering in while sizing his opponents moves. But like Margarito, he was relentless once he got going. And carried much greater firepower and superior skills.
This fight would be an absolute war for as long as it lasted. And it would last. In the end, I see an ending similar to Trinidad-Campas, with the proud Margarito unwilling to fold and taking head-snapping blows along the ropes. Trinidad TKO12.
good post man and I agree. Tito's relentless approach is far different than margarito's. He was calculating and very exact in his punishment. It would be a fun fight to watch but Tito's skill would prevail over the course of the fight
David Reid lasted all 12. Vargas (as skilled as he may be) lasted till the 12th without a chin. I think it'd be a very competitive fight.
