I see people bringing up Canelo trying to compare it with how Tito would go the distance. Comparing Tito to a guy naturally bigger, sturdier, and who fights with a waaaay more defensive style and who spent half the fight retreating (something Tito wont be doing nor could do as effectively even if he wanted to) Canelo making it 12 and Tito making it 12 are apples and oranges.
Exactly. That reject was probably calling Canelo elite back when he fought Mayweather. Now has a change of heart.
Boxing experts know the special circumstances needed to have Canelo fight at "elite" level That said if GGG is as good we assume him to be, he should be able to beat Hearns, SRR & Trinidad based on size. If he losses to any of the top 3 he is not as good as we hoped he was. Trinidad & any natural ATG Welter should be judged vs SRR, SRL, Hearns, Quartey & other natural Welters
Unfortunately GGG didn't get the chance to be an ATG bully & KO natural Welters...Pretty sure that Felix Trinidad prefers hypothetical situations where is cornering any Welter...Nobody wants to read about a fantasy match-up where he has to move up vs the hardest puncher two divisions above his natural weightclass
This fight is a War Tito goes down in the first 2 rounds but comes back fighting GGG toe to toe even wobbles GGG then in the tenth round GGG knocks Tito down and Tito gets up but gets stopped. The only reason GGG wins is cause hes to big and his chin . Not cause of skills, cause he could barley out box Canelo who is a good boxer But not great like Mayweather. Tito beats Canelo at 160 better conditioned figher he puts to much pressure on Canelo who gases and stops fighting back after 8 rounds just like he did with GGG. But Tito puts even more pressuer on Canelo and almost stops him but Canelo fights him off. Canelo vs Tito at 155 or 147 is a different fight Canelo by decision Canelo is at his proper weight class better conditioned fighter
Trinidad is obviously one of the most loved power punchers but if you want to see him wobble people elite fighters keep him at Welter, GGG is not Joppy (a decent guy given the belt by the great Don King just for that purpose), not handi-capped David Reid (great fighter with a damaged eye & an awkward smile). Trinidad was the ultimate bully at Welterweight, at 160 he can't hurt GGG or any Iron-chinned Middleweight
Don't forget King Kong can get knocked out no man on earth has this so called Iron chin. I have heard all of that crap before and seen Elite Iron chin fighters get dropped by semi ok punchers and every one was shocked . Its the punch you cant see that Knocks you out and GGG has not been in with true killer power punchers at all and Canelo backed him up and hes a welter weight like Kelly Brook. Tito with his power can and would wobble GGG cause he wouldnt gas out like Canelo dide , Canelo had GGG guessing himself cause he couldn't KO him and he was getting buzzed for trying other wise he would of walked threw him like he did Kelly Brook. Tito would go to War toe to toe with GGG hurting him bad but his size would be to much for Tito. Cause Tito throws great power punches remember Mayorga so called Iron chin letting people hit him.
I can see GGG dropped in a flash KD by a prime Roy Jones or prime James Toney or G-Man, pick a proper size guy to do the fantasy Knockdown. Felix Trinidad was reduced to a normal fighter at Middleweight, Don King was just that good at hyping...
Mayorga is an Iron-chinned natural Junior Welterweight, GGG is an Iron-Chinned natural Middleweight... GGG can be dropped, but it has to be done a Natural Middleweight who can do the job
that's why Tito could take the punches at middle weight cause he could see them coming, 147 fighters are faster then middle weights. The punch you cant see comming hurts you ask Mayweather when Mosley hurt him bad May W didnt see that punch but money legs came back quick cause of his work ethic in the gym . Or ask Chavez about F Randle Chavez didnt see tha right hand that put him on hiss ass , other wise he would of ducked his head down lowering his chin like he did before . But his chin was up in the air. GGG is fightin small Middle Weights and Welters moving up not Middle weights and Welter W. that move all the way up to Cruiser W. and Light Heavy W. Liike Hearns, James Tony, Roy Jones Jr,
Roy Jones couldn't put Ttio down and B.hop had to box him and counter him to KO him. Tito chin is better then you think and a better boxer then you think he is. The only problem Tito has going up against GGG is he is a pressure fighter and loves to go toe to toe and so does Tito and even more thats why Tito gets smashed but he gets to wobble GGG for it cause GGG would trade with him with his hands down
I don't see the point of marching Trinidad into GGG, Trinidad can survive & even get a Draw if De La Hoya wants to invest in that...but its not a favorable fight
