    Now we know Trinidad has been Middleweight before where he beat Mayorga is a slugfest but Tiger is different animal i think this would be a war and i think Tiger would win via ud but i woudnt rule out a late stoppage

    Tiger would roar and Tito would be sore. Richard Ihetu by easy stoppage.

    :lol:Yeah, more or less. There's nothing Tito could do here. Tiger faced and defeated greater Middleweight punchers, took everything they had, and eventually took it out of them. Tito lacks the durability to survive a bang-up with Tiger. Stoppage between rounds 5 and 6, I'd say.

    Tito would have his hands full with Henry Hank.

    I honestly think he gets stopped in that one, too. Boxers are what annoyed Hank. Not many people outside of Tiger were beating him in a tear-up. Tito lacks the chin to hold up.

    Boxers are also what annoyed Trinidad.

    Anyway, this fight is at middleweight and I believe Tito is much more stoppable at this weight than at 147/154. Tiger by stoppage.

    I'd go with Tiger here too but wouldn't be surprised if Tito pulled it off, stylistically it does suit him better than allot of match ups

    Dick Tiger was a very, very tough man to break. And Tito needed to break you. There would be no getting lucky for Felix here, like winning a fight you lost handily just because the opponent decided to retreat in several rounds. Tiger would be there, working, the whole way. And Felix's firepower, devastating at lower weights, was not all that at 160. We saw hard and tough men endure it just fine. Tiger is among the hardest and toughest of middleweights. Tito would have nowhere to run.

    Tiger would have mauled Tito before stopping him...the strength difference would have been ridiculous.

    Tito has no chance here. I believe his power was just fine at that weight, but nothing overly devastating, which is what it'd take to really mess with Tiger. The problem is at 160 he's a bit fragile. Plenty of natural middleweights wouldn't be strong enough or durable enough to mess with Tiger, and that certainly holds true for the smaller Trinidad. He'd land his fair share of shots, but Tiger walks right through them. Tito get beaten up and stopped by the middle rounds.

    Tito is not a great middleweight outright.
