Felix Trinidad (of the Joppy fight) vs Jermain Taylor (of the Hopkins fights)

Taylor was a big MW with good handspeed and a very good jab. These things always gave Tito big problems. Tito wasn't a great MW, but I believe he had the power to KO Taylor who faded down the stretch of the Hopkins fights I felt, so a Tito KO is certainly possible here. I'd probably favor Taylor to win a decision. 60/40 fight IMO.

 

Taylor holds on to win a decision unless he gets seriously hurt down the stretch.

 

Joppy was a bum Taylor beats the crap out of Tito !

 

Taylor wins by UD.

Trinidad was only good against guys he could tee off on in the higher weights. I think Taylor stays behind the jab and out of harms way. He isnt the brawler type. Joppy fought a stupid fight and traded with Tito. The fact that Taylor went 12 with Joppy means jack ****.

 

Yes he also took Hopkins the full 12 and both were UD's ..The diffrence in the Tito fight he fought with his hands down ..

 

He definitely had MW power, I agree. I could certainly see him knocking Taylor out late in the fight. I see Taylor controlling the fight(at least the early rounds) with his handspeed, jab and good workrate. I like Tito to come on in the second half as you do. Even though he was KO'd by Pavlik, I like Taylor's chin, though I still believe Tito could KO him. Tough fight to call. Pretty much a pick'em fight IMO. I'm actually suprised you'd favor Tito here. This would have been an excellent and very close fight.

 

Disagree. Joppy was absolutely no bum at all IMO.

 

tito stmania is best that taylor and beat him

 

Translation? :think

 

Good analysis. :thumbsup
