Even back in 2008, with Margarito coming off of his signature win over a prime, undefeated Cotto...I never for once thought he could beat a prime Trinidad.
Trinidad; prone to knockdowns, but enormous heart, enormous fortitude, good reach, dynamite left hook, stinging right cross, and DID NOT LOSE UNTIL HIS THIRD WEIGHT CLASS...against an all-time great in Bernard Hopkins.
Margarito has only one style and that is to come forward. Mosley, whose power isn't all that at welterweight, needed 9 rounds to put Margarito away. 147 was THE division that Trinidad crushed.
Trinidad gets Margarito out of there in 6 because the tornado elects to back off every now and then. You can't trade with Trinidad.
Margarito knocks Tito down early in the fight because Tito went down early a lot, but eventually Tito starts to take momentum and eventually stops Antonio in the 2nd half of the fight.
