Prime Margarito vs. Canelo. Who comes out on top in this Mexican showdown?

[PunchMeIDareYou]

The Tijuana Tornado was a force to reckon with. How would Canelo hold up against the version that brutalized Cotto?

[MusoMeanderings]

Both are proven cheaters. But I say illegal wraps are worse. Margacheato on cuts.

[TMLT87]

I know Canelo is not exactly looked upon kindly right now, but come on, he'd have beaten the **** out of Margarito.

@147 Margarito wins (Prime Marg)
@154 Probably close. I'd give to Canelo
@160+ Canelo KO Margarito (Prime Canelo)

[Roadblock]

Canelo would do a Mosley on Margarito who was nothing more than a plodding volume puncher.

[Dr. Z]

@147 Margarito wins (Prime Marg)
@154 Probably close. I'd give to Canelo
@160+ Canelo KO Margarito (Prime Canelo)

This is how I see it too. *** Picks made under the assumption of fair judges and no PED's ***

[PBR Streetgang]

Margarito didn't show a whole lot of pop after the handwrap fiasco. Mosley put a savage beating on the Tornado and his skull never really recovered.

I have to think Canelo beats most versions of Margarito without loaded wraps.

[The Big Dunn]

Canelo tests positive for PEDs, delaying the fight 6 months.

Margs comes out relentless and wins by MD with one judge giving Canelo a draw even though he lost 11 of 12 rounds.

However, Margs gets caught with plaster in his gloves post fight.

"Prime" Margarito was a poor man's Maidana.

[Tatabanya]

I'm not fond of either but, whatever the conditions, Canelo stops Margarito. There's too much difference in technique and sheer class between the two.
