    Who emerges victorious here?

    Graham had an ego issue about being able to go toe-to-toe with punchers and beat them at their own game, whilst also being able to box a full 12 rounds and take about six shots in total.

    Trinidad was a heavy handed box puncher who had trouble with awkward, technical sorts and those with fast footwork.

    Thoughts?

    graham would overcome a few bad moments and one knockdown to stop trinidad around the 11th or 12th ,my opion and i am not saying i am bang on ,but i dont think tito carried all his power up with him and graham was tougher than he is given credit for, also i think graham would be to elusive for tito to land combos on, jackson hit like a truck so i dont hink that can be used

    Yeah Graham was embarrassing Jackson as well...... not sure Trinidad is as crude however.

    He was also far less explosive though. Tito is too stationary. Graham would make him look stupid at times but probably get himself caught at stupid times as well. I would take Graham by UD though in the end.

    Would Graham fight southpaw or orthodox?

    Or switch even?

    Tito has a punchers chance and not much else, he certainly cant win on points unless he manages to KD him repeatedly.

    Tito by ko.
    Graham was an excellent boxer but he's not going to last 12 rounds without getting hit and I doubt he can take Tito's power.
    Trinidad was a better boxer than Jackson and he carried his power up to 154.
    I'm sure Herol will have his moments but I see this one ending with him flat on his back.

    Tito was really no better then Jackson in a technical sense...he was a slower starter, more stationary and less fluid IMO aswell.

    Herol's chin wasnt that bad before Jackson ruined it...and he was an excellent defensive fighter anyway.

    He would have to be really on his game but I think he most certainly holds out Tito..who was better at 147.

    Trinidad was a juggernaut for the time that he was at light middleweight. He would get to Graham and stop him late.

    Graham was a very good boxer but so is Tito and Tito is a good puncher. Trinidad by 6th round KO.
