    Would beat any current welterweight or light middleweight, IMO.

    What have you seen Tito accomplish that makes you think he would beat either of them? Curious what style matchup you're basing this on.

    floyd's legs are faded enough that it's not crazy to pick prime tito over him imo.

    Tito was a monster at WW.

    Huge, too. Offensively he was a beast, and that left hook... Wow!

    Id pick Tito over Floyd. Floyd doesnt use his wheels in the same way DLH did to minimize trouble and even then DLH ran his off. Had he fought in the pocket like Floyd does, or rather had Floyd been facing Trinidad that night I think Trinidad blasts him out of there. Can you imagine Trinidad wobbling him like Mosley did? Trinidad wouldnt just stop fighting and stand there for the next 10 rounds like Mosley did. Uh uh, Trinidad beats Floyd IMO and Im not even a big Tito fan but this is all about styles.

    Floyd doesn't rely on his legs like Oscar because he's that much better. Tito at his best might have a little chance against 38 y/o May but none against prime Floyd.

    I think Floyd would beat him, other then that no one has come to mind.

    LMFAAOOO @ Andrade beating Tito. The same Andrade that was dropped by Vanes? Pleeaaase.

    Prime Tito beats everyone currently at 147-154. The current Floyd would not beat a young Tito. *****s are delusional.

    I'd give Mayweather a chance of beating him at welter, he has the speed, skills and defence to win a decision. Would be harder at light middle, Tito was stronger at this weight and started faster and the extra weight may slow Floyd enough.

    Can you explain? Who did Tito beat that makes you think those of us who would pick Floyd are delusional?

    That DLH nod was a gift but in any case, what do either of those wins reveal about his ability to deal with a skilled counter-puncher and ATG defensive fighter like Mayweather?
