    Mosley - imo, it's not really that close either.

    Trinidad is one of the dirtiest fighters of this era. You really think that he is not capable of landing a head butt with a follow up elbow and left hook?

    You can take nothign from the DLH fight and apply it to this scenario. We're talking about Tito's ability to hurt Mosley. Tito is a bigger puncher than DLH and physically larger and stronger.

    He was seconds away from getting KO by Forrest, the ref was just about to stop it. He was in worse shape than Cotto, and equal to what Judah was when Tszyu beat him.

    Again, MOSLEY was on the verge of having the fight stopped by the ref.

    To me, that tells me, yes he can be KO.

    Yeah he is capable of doing that but you're also underestimating Mosley's defense here, I know he tends to slug but he knows what he's doing there, he doesn't just mix it up reckless like some people think.

    I'm not taking anything from the DLH fight, just bringing up a FACT that DLH DOES have the power to hurt top fighters and he wasn't able to do anything as serious as Forrest did against Mosley TWICE.

    Forrest knocking down Mosley is NOT a good enough reason to say Trinidad has a good chance to get a KO against someone who fought EVERYONE available to fight and only got knocked down twice against one.

    To me that tells me he can't get KO'd. It might have been on the verge of being stopped but was it stopped?, did he recover the next round or not?, if he was really nearly out of it he wouldn't have recovered in the corner and would have come out still semi-dazed and ready to be taken out.

    He's lucky he had the right ref that night.

    Almost gettin KO'd is alot different then gettin KO'd. Trinidad got KO'd by Hopkins so he ISNT a true 3 division champ plus he got the dog **** beat out off him by Winky way worst then he did and washed up RJJ beat the breaks off him also....now what:deal

    He's not "lucky" he had the right ref, he recovered from it and went the distance, didn't he?

    i have mosley ranked higher....

    tito's biggest victory was a boring ass fight, and a gift at that....when he stepped up he lost to bhop, winky and as of late, roy jones....

    sweet pea was way passed by the time they fought

    vargas was a dirty victory

    i mean, he did crush the opponents he "had" to crush, but the quality just isn't there in between the huge fights....

    mosley, has always taken on the toughest challenges and won most of them convincingly...even in between huge paydays he has taken risky fights here and there against tough competition....lets not forget he moved up 2 divisions to fight oscar, and beat him....where as tito had oscar in a division that he was dominating, even though oscar already had some fights at 147, it was still more of trini's home......


    i bet you guys that by the time mosley is done, he's gonna be way ahead of tito NO QUESTIONS ASKED.....
