If Margarito could walk through Tito's punches, could he eventually wear Tito down to the body and pull a B-Hopkins type finish on the Puerto Rican Puncher??? Tito's always had a suspect chin, and Tony's pressure, body attack and volume punching wear on opponents. He makes 'em work every minute of every round. He would basically double B-Hops output against Trinidad. Tony took Kermit's best shots, I think he could take the 147lbs version of Tito's best shots.
    i did a thread on this........pretty interesting thoughts from people

    Talk about anything boxing related here. Where the boxing discussion is always Non Stop!


    and Tito takes it IMO

      I think the biggest thing would be Margs reaction to Tito's power. Even if he doesn't knock him out if he landed combos the way Cotto did Tony wouldn't be able to walk through them. I'd pick Tito to score a late TKO based off punch accumulation and being stunned, forcing the ref to stop it.

        I wouldnt call titos Chin Suspect.

        He just would get caught early. But suspect chin is a bit much to say considering he had only been KOed once.

          Margarito is a pug fighter no chance he beats Tito.
          So just because I say what I think about Trinidad I'm disrespecting him? That's a moronic stance to take.

          And styles make fights, just because Tito could hang with Bernard for 12 rounds doesn't mean he could hang with Tony for 12. Bernard is not exactly known for his world renowned pressure and volume punching.

          It also doesn't mean Tony could hang 12 with Tito. I can't pick a winner on this one, it's an even fight in my opinion.

            His headhunting will take its toll on Margarito no matter how tough that head can be.

            You don't stand toe to toe with him and expect to finish the fight with your head intact. Especially when you belong in the same weight class.

            Margarito is no Hopkins. His head is ever available. There is no such thing as an uncrackable head.

              The whole thread is, not your particular statement.

              Styles do make fights and I feel Tito would favor over a poor defensive Margarito. yea he can take Cotto shots but Tito had power to KO middleweights. Margarito isnt known for his impecable Compubox % connect ratings. yea he would apply pressure but miss frequently and take major damage doing it.

                    Y'all gotta be kiddin'. Marg walk through Cotto's punches, he simply wouldn't be able to put up with Tito's heat. Tito is a completely different animal from Cotto. It's s whole different world facing Tito compared to Cotto.

                    Cotto's left hook doesn't pale in comparison to Tito's. Tito does everything better than Cotto, Tito's accuracy is deadly. Tito throws beautiful combinations. There's only two ways this fight would end, a k.o by Tito or Margarita's face would like its been through a meat grinder for 12 rounds.

                    Simply put, Tito is nasty against statues like Margarita. I'd be target practice.
