    Could Margarito have taken Trinidads punch for 12 rounds?

    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.

    12 rounds? not likely....margarito's swarming style might have delayed the inevitable but IMO, that chin cracks around 9-10 rounds

      No, titos left hook would do serious damage, but i could see it going to round 8-10

          I don't see Margarito getting stopped, maybe a UD.

            I feel that Titos power wouldve slowed Margarito down more than Cotto.

              No...That 147 Tito Left Hook was hell

              Margarito could take punishment through at least 5...but would take too much

                  Vargas was a much better BOXER than Margarito...and had monsterous power at 154

                  Hell, David Reid lasted the entire 12...

                    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?
