    Fantasy fight!!! Imagine if these 2 champions fought at the peak of their prime!! i just cant come up with a prediction of my own,its just to difficult to pick a winner....Felix Trinidad a great Legend who never lost at 147 but then again Floyd Mayweather has NEVER LOST AT ALL at 147 or any other weight-division!!! TOUGH CALL!!! Ima leave the predictions up to all of yall outthere??

    If DLH (one who never ran save those 3 rounds against Tito) was able to run so effectively against him, Mayweather would do so with relative ease and pot-shot his way to a comfortable decision.

    If Mayweather ran, he'd lose like DLH did. If he stood his ground he'd get KTFO'd. Either way, Trinidad wins. Remember, Mayweather is nowhere near as good as the 1999 version of Oscar.

    Floyd is my dude. But against Prime Tito before HBO before he straight fell in love with his power. I don't know. The Tito who beat Oba Carr would Kayo Floyd imo. only way Floyd goes 12

    Tito too big too strong, and was pretty damn quick himself at 147. He also boxed more at 147 .....

    DLH was effective for the 1st half of the fight but he never hurt tito at all and all his running and jabbing tired him out to the point he couldn't fight the last 3rd of the fight.

    DLH from 99 > current Mayweather

    DLH from 99 was way bigger with a better jab, better left hook then Floyd I give Floyd the edge as far as the right hand is concerned.

    That being said Tito would **** the little guy Mayweather could try and pot shot but he's just too small with zero power at 147 and Tito was a god damn beast there. Tito by TKO or lopsided 1 sided beatdown

    i couldnt agree with you anymore, in some ways i think tito has become a little underrated, due to his recent losses to hopkins and wright and jones, a prime welterweight Tito ws truly an all time great who took on all comers and feared no one.

    Except that, current Mayweather has much better stamina than '99 Oscar, and that could well be the difference maker.

    I'd probably favor Tito, too, and the fight that jumps to mind (perhaps unfairly) is Trinidad's fight with Sweet Pea.

    But I would not be surprised if Floyd was able to outpoint him comfortably. Trinidad struggled with defensive masters like Winky and Hopkins, but those guys were a lot bigger than Floyd, so it probably would not pan out like those did.
