    Could Felix Trinidad have beaten Margarito at 147lbs?

    What you think? I mean, in regards to Cotto, I hope he doesn't feel like he's failed the PR people miserably and he will never live up to being as good as Trinidad or something because he was obviously different. I also think he put up a masterful performance against Margarito until the it got hairy. But I don't know if Tito would have been able to carry out such a gameplan regardless if he woulda won or not. Think Tito could have just hooked Margarito out or have to come up with a plan B?

    I would give Tito a very good chance at beating Margarito.

        Tito pretty much destroyed everyone he faced that was not a highly skilled boxer. Margs is certainly not one of those.

            Tito had a lot more power than Santos and more height than Cotto,he was one of the best if not the best finishers of his era.Tito would have been the one to lay Margarito on his a@@

              Margarito is a real good boxer. Tito is a ICON.

                Tito had a lot of power and could probably hurt Margarito, also he was a very tall welter himself.

                    I'd have picked a prime Trinidad over Margarito at 147, the way to beat Trinidad is to outbox him with a jab, not by going to him with lax defense, that just plays into his hands.
