Prime vs Prime; Trinidad vs Margarito

There's been a lot of threads on this topic, but I'll reply anyway. I picked Trinidad by KO or stoppage. I can't see Margarito eating those bombs all night.

If getting dropped a dozen times somehow equates to tight defense and a solid chin then I can't help you there. We know you love Tito but facts are facts. So you DID start watching around Oscar or later. Tell ya what, get back to me when you watch all his other fights at welter.

This posts reeks of someone who heard about this but never actually watched Tito in his prime. If getting dropped a dozen times somehow equates to tight defense and a solid chin then I can't help you there. We know you love Tito but facts are facts.

So how many people in this thread have actually watched prime Tito fights at WW? Why do I keep hearing all this stuff about Tito having a rubbish chin? How many times has he been knocked out? How many times has he been severely hurt? Anyone that thinks Tito gets KO'd by Margarito is daft. At WW Tito makes easy work of a guy like Margarito. Margarito is a sucker for the left hook and despite having a great chin, no one takes that left hook throughout an entire fight like Margarito would and still be standing. There is a big difference between taking Cotto's shots and taking a point-of-the-chin left hook from prime Tito at WW. All over baby. Margarito doesn't have the goods to beat Tito. He wouldn't stand a head taller as he did against Cotto, and he would be much, much slower, have even less power instead of about as much as Cotto and if needed Tito could out-box him down the stretch without fading. People forget that Cotto is not a big WW at all. Tito was a very big WW with freakish power. If Margarito is getting stunned and hurt pretty bad by Santos he would get knocked out by the better skills and much greater power of Tito who is bigger than Margarito.

Unless Tito runs around the ring like Cotto it's going to be a brawl in a phone booth and marginal punchers have dropped him frequently in his prime. With Tito's shaky chin and loose defense during exchanges he's probably hitting the canvas several times before getting stopped by the ref or corner.

Tito is bigger, stronger, better, faster and KOed middleweights. Fagarito lost to Santos. Get off of Margaritos dick fanboy. Thankyou!! margo is not an elite fighter!

Absolutely. Good thing welter Tito was a good boxer, with a strong chin and solid defense. :smashfrea Unless Tito runs around the ring like Cotto it's going to be a brawl in a phone booth and marginal punchers have dropped him frequently in his prime.

Tito has a shaky chin no arguement there but name how many times tito has been stopped? once by the 2001 version of bhop and that was after 12 rds. no way marg stops tito he has no advantages other than a better chin marg comes forward and tito crushes him I don't think ANYONE crushes Margarito but I see a war that ends with Tito stopping him in the final round; Margarito stays on his feet but is taking frightening shots like Campas.

people forget that at 147 no one stood in front of trinidad. every advantage that marg has over his oppenents (size, reach, height etc.) tito has on marg tito but ko within 9

You have to box Margarito to beat him no one survives by staying right in front of him especially with a weak chin and poor defense. Absolutely. Good thing welter Tito was a good boxer, with a strong chin and solid defense. :smashfrea

trinidad via late tko in an exciting but one sided fight.. people are giving margarito too much credit

Margarito by horrible TKO....... Tito is one of my all time greats but his chin/balance wasnt that great... Margarito would beat theshit out of tito imo I agree with the result but only after a sustained beating from Margarito. Tito goes down several times before his father steps in the ring to stop it. When you have a rubbish chin like Trinidad you don't make it to 12 going toe to toe with someone like Margarito. You have to box Margarito to beat him no one survives by staying right in front of him especially with a weak chin and poor defense.

Trinidad by UD. People are forgetting Tito is not only a bigger puncher but just as big in body mass. He won't be intimidated by Margarito's size. Thought Tito's chin was shaky somewhat, he was always willing to come off of the mat to finish the fight. Margarito was also stunned by Santos and Clottey from a right hand. I don't think he will do much to avoid Trinidad's punches either. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE FIGHT WITH VARGAS.... WHEN THEY WERE GIVING THE INSTRUCTIONS AND VARGAS WAS DRINKING WATER FROM A BOTTLE.. AND TITO DARE HIM TO SPIT it to HIM.... A Q NO ME LA TIRAS!!!! a q NO TE ATREVES! :lol1: ajajjajajaj hell nooooO!! tito aint backing up against marg anD wont be intimidated by his size!!! if this fight were made PRIME TO PRIME it would be a war!! an epic war tito by BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM KNOCK OUT!!!

if you don't mean to be a dick then don't be one. I wasn't trying to diss you i was just telling you that this topic has been discussed ad naseum before.

I think Margarito stops him quicker then cotto, but I'm not going to lie. I'm biased because I like Miguel Cotto more then tito. This match-up reminds me of Cintron vs Margarito. Though of course tito is a hell a lot better then Cintron. Btw, why are so many people voting tito by knock out if no one has ever came close to knocking margarito out? And pwillis and cotto both punch pretty damn hard. It would make more sense if you said tito by decision. yeah PHILLIES!!!!! WAR BHOP!

prime margarito cant lose to a fighter that comes forward like tito no matter how hard he hits he can only be outboxed by a bigger guy like williams or santos Did you even watch Tito back when he was fighting at WW?
