The only guy who beat Cotto that I'd pick Tito to beat would be Trout.I like Tito, but I think Cotto being underrated here. If he didn't have someone to stand right in front of him, Tito had issues. Cotto could box and had good footwork. He wouldn't be getting stopped by Tito.

I think it'd look like Pac vs Tony. A little more competitive, maybe. I thought Pac vs Tony was pretty good though.Pacman vs Tito would be pretty awesome
Margarito's pressure > Tito's by a mile. Margarito was no bum.Tito by Ko. Cotto had neither the boxing ability, defense and most of all movement that could give Trinidad problems. If a slow bum like Margarito could find him easy then so would Trinidad. Also, the weakness of Tito's chin is overstated. Yes he was dropped several times but was only legitimately hurt a few times in his career. Probably as many times as Cotto. Tito also had great recuperative powers.
I think Tito levels Toni. Not that Toni wasn't a really good fighter, but I don't see him handling Tito's power well.Margarito's pressure > Tito's by a mile. Margarito was no bum.
I don't agree. Tony at his best could take a shot like no one Tito fought and no one Tito fought would take him in the trenches like that. Tony outworks him and wins a close decision.I think Tito levels Toni. Not that Toni wasn't a really good fighter, but I don't see him handling Tito's power well.
Now we're arguing that Margarito would beat Trinidad. Yikes. Btw, is this the same Margarito that couldn't handle Shane Mosley's power? Blow up lightweight Shane Mosley. Trinidad vs margarito would be a replay of the Campas fight. Margarito is simply too easy to hit.I don't agree.

What makes the Margarito from the mosley fight the worst version? You might have a point if that was post manny Margarito. But it's not so you don't.I always assume we're talking the best version, not the worst. Is this the same Tito that got smacked around by Hopkins?
er.... The fact that it was his worst performance?What makes the Margarito from the mosley fight the worst version? You might have a point if that was post manny Margarito. But it's not so you don't.
The reason I brought up the Mosley fight was not as a judgment of his performance but as evidence that he had a chin that someone with Tito's power could crack. Remember you claimed he could withstand Tito's power. Unless now you're going to say Moseley hit harder then Trinidad.er.... The fact that it was his worst performance?
Shane was a bad fight for Tony, he was a better technician than Tito. I like Tito but he was one dimensional.
Mosley just knew how to beat mexicans. He beat Oscar twice, in fights every bit as close as Oscar's fight with Tito. all of his most notable wins were vs mexicans.The reason I brought up the Mosley fight was not as a judgment of his performance but as evidence that he had a chin that someone with Tito's power could crack.

Look, I agree that Toni was a good fighter and not some bum. But let's be real here, anybody that uses their face to block punches hte way Toni did is going night night against a guy like Tito. Plus, Toni wouldn't have the distinct size or reach advantage he often did, and Tito had pretty good stamina. This seems like Toni is gonna get blasted.I don't agree. Tony at his best could take a shot like no one Tito fought and no one Tito fought would take him in the trenches like that. Tony outworks him and wins a close decision.
Id favor Tony in that oneI think it'd look like Pac vs Tony. A little more competitive, maybe. I thought Pac vs Tony was pretty good though.
Now, Tony vs Tito. That would be a battle.
