Prime Tito vs. Margarito
Collapse

Trinidad had is ass on the ground to much for you to say he had a great chin. You can say he was off balance, which a lot of the time he was. But Vargas Clearly dropped his ass and hurt him and so did hopkins. I personally don't think Margarito would've ko'd him with a head shot. He would've beaten the fight out of him much like he did Cotto.
and how many guys wore tito down?
a natural middleweight who grabs and holds and wrestles.
marg doesn't fight like that.Comment

I know that, and Margarito has the countering ability of a blind bat. But when you throw 100 punches per round some of them are going to land right where and when they should.
Look I hate sloppiness in boxing and Margarito is sloppy as hell, but his workrate and his chin (not even his power, which is overrated), make him a threat to pretty much anyone who can realistically make 147.
Even a great boxer would have some trouble, because of the workrate. Countering and slipping 50 of Margarito wide ass shots per round is easy, 100 not so easy. Even if one of his right hands takes about a coffee break to arrive.Comment

Tito is just too strong for Margarito. Pernell knew it was important to defend himself, DLH knew it was important to stay in the outside, Vargas got dropped way too many and William Joppy who couldn't get K.O'd by B-Hop got K.O'd by Tito and B-Hop gave it his all to do so. Margarito will always get hit in the chin and I don't know if you know this but getting hit by the one of the hardest punchers in the WW division isn't a good idea. Especially when your chin is always open for it.Comment

So you're not going to answer my question, instead repeating the same thing over and over? What the hell is wrong with you.
Does Cotto have power that's EVEN IN THE SAME UNIVERSE as PRIME Tito Trinidad?
If Yes, I can see why you posted that crap about Cotto's powerful punching and Margie's great chin standing up to it.
If no, as you claimed in a post before then WHO GIVES A **** ABOUT THE COMPARISON.Comment

Lets not get crazy here fellas. Tito was an ATG WW. Tito was 1-2 most powerful WW's of all time, Tito and Hearns. No man who stood in front of Tito and exchanged went the distance.
Tito got beat by HOF's at 160lbs and above Hopkins, Winky, RJJ. Guess what they all had in common. They were all bigger and they were all defensive boxers.
Tito was a big WW and Margarito wont have a size/strength advantage against him. Its a bad matchup for Margarito......check out the other threads I even had Tito KOing Cotto. This is no hate against Margarito just doesn't matchup well against Tito.Comment

Trinidad-Margarito would've been a hell of a fight. I would have to give it to Tony though. Trinidad never had the best of chins and he had the tendency to get discouraged and frustrated. ex: (De la hoya, Hopkins and Wright.) I think Margarito would've stopped Trinidad earlier then he did Cotto. Cotto is a very well rounded boxer with good head and foot movedment. Trinidad was more one dimensional, and relied more on one punch. I think it would be a hell of a war while it would last, Margarito would be to much for Tito with his workrate and body punching.
