Floyd, would be more defensive, than ODLH, and that is saying something. He would lose b/c of it. Trinidad, UD.
HOW ABOUT THE fact that Winky is a legit 154 pounder who went as high up to fight JT and BHOP. He was able to stand in pocket and absorbs Tito shots. Floyd would not be able to. floyd has the skills to stay away frm Tito punches. But Tito was a sharp puncher and u need effective aggression to beat him. I prefer shane styles vs Tito rather than floyd. Against a hard hitter like Tito, i am not sure if floyd would throw enought punches as Tito tries to stalk him down. Its a hard fight to pick.
Like it has been said here before, you can't compare the perfomance Oscar put on to what Floyd could have done. Oscar was a very powerful WW in his prime and he really did put on a great perfomance at the beggining of the fight. I don't think Floyd has the power to keep Trinidad at bay, and I believe Trinidad's punches would get through Floyd's defense. I think it's a very competitive fight because Floyd is a tough match up for anyone, but at WW I don't think he would be enough to beat Trinidad. I say Trinidad may be able to stop him late while the scorecards are pretty close.
Good **** Pop... The size difference is alot more than most are thinking, and I bet most posting didn't witness prime Tito(147). Floyd and Oscar at 147 aren't comparable either. They were great at different weights... This isn't a 130 lb Corrales.
Oscar had more firepower than Floyd does and Tito would be moving forward earlier with out much caution and start to land on Floyd early enough and stop him in the late rounds I think.
atsch oscar got more firepower but less accuracy. almost all of floyd's opponents hit harder than him but can't touch the guy so why would tito be any different?
Got alotta young jitterbugs in here. What has Floyd done to make cats think he can beat a prime Trinidad at 147. Floyd has the most imaginary victories ever. Floyd would go life and death with Quartey. C'mon this thread can't be serious.
ODLH was on his toes and mobile alott more mobile at the time then PBF is today. plus he had the power to keep tito honest. and his jab was like a telephone pole that night. i don't see pbf being as imposing as ODLH.
