    At one point, I favored Curry.

    Nowadays, I don't like his chances. I just don't see how his chin holds up to Tito all night.

    Curry's best bet would be to get rid of Trinidad early. As the fight progresses, and Trinidad warms up and finds the range, I think Curry comes undone - physically and mentally.

    Trinidad KO 8.

    50/50 fight for me. Either Curry outboxes Trinidad to a close decision or Trinidad gets off the canvas and rallies to a stoppage.

    Curry mid-rounds stoppage. He would slowly break down Tito and there was nothing wrong with Curry's chin pre-McCallum. He had a good set of whiskers and could dish it out with pin-point accuracy.

    Great fight. But, I will go with Curry. Too fast, too smooth for Felix. And, although Felix has the ability to hurt Curry if he catches him just right, he would find it very difficult to land that shot. And, Felix wouldn't exactly enjoy the return fire from Curry. Make no mistake, Curry could hurt Trinidad.

    Trinidad went 12 rounds with DLH, Roy Jones, Hopkins, Vargas and none of them had him in any real trouble yet plenty think he would get stopped inside 8 rounds by Curry, I think many are underrating Tito's chin tbh, it's Curry who has the suspect chin in this one.

    Not intending to derail the thread, but who would you have higher on an all-time welterweight list? I'm honestly not sure.

    I would say Tito here as well, both in terms of longevity and resume.

    Tought one. I am leaning towards Trinidad, he had more firepower
