The Antonio Margarito who held the WBO Welterweight title from 2002-2007 facing a Felix Trinidad who held the IBF Welterweight title from 1993-1999. Stylistically this would be a great match up. Forget about past speculations on which one had loaded gloves, just straight up who would win? How and why?

Slow guys who moved forward and took punches were dead meat against Tito, who was a toe-to-toe master.
Margarito's chin may have withstood a lot, but that would have resulted in his face getting blown to bits.

LMFAO
A lot of Boricuas up in here.
But anyway, you have to be objective about this.
Tito Trinidad was undefeated at 147, had one-punch knockout power at that weight, was RARELY hurt, knocked down early often but he'd get up pissed off and fight more ferociously...I just can't see any version of Margarito beating Trinidad.
I remember being in awe of Margarito's chin after the Cotto/Margarito fight and a months later, some columnist from ESPN wrote a "How Margarito would've done against welterweights in history". I shook my head when I read that he would've stopped Tito somewhere during the middle/late rounds.
I mean, I gave Margarito all the credit in the world for beating Cotto, but that guy got a little ahead of himself that day.
OMFG, guys...I found the article...Tito's at #6.

Shaking my head at Tito's "suspect chin"...
