    The Legend of Felix Trinidad baffles me......GOOD BOXER. GREAT LEFT HOOK. Lacked in so many different areas. Problems with boxers with skill sets.. not adatptable at all

    pbf doesn't impose himself on anyone. He beats you mentality discourages you and make you feel embrass while hitting you repeatly.

    I have to watch the Oscar-Trinidad fight again. I was a big Oscar fan at the time and I thought Oscar gave that one away. I was the only one for Oscar in the house and bet $50 against my cousin. I remember after the 12th round ended, I said FU Oscar as I thought he really lost the fight and paid my cousin even before the decision was announced.

    I always read of it as being a robery, so I think I need to re-watch that fight. :huh

    Anyway, Floyd-Tito would only go two ways:

    Floyd by a wide UD or Tito by KO.

    Good posts.:good Now as hardcore Trinidad fan I have no problem with anyone picking Floyd to win this fight but to say it would be a wide UD win for Floyd is a bit ignorant as to who Trinidad was as a fighter.

    i dont think so, trinidad has a style that can be outpointed.....winky did it. oscar could have done it, mayweather probably would do it and alot of other would do it (whitaker, leonard etc.)

    Don't ****ing bring up the pointless winky-tito fight. Tito was a pile of trash in that fight wtf is everyones problem. Even Tito vs Mayorga is an utterly worthless fight. Prime Tito at 154lbs would have decimated Mayorga in 1 or 2 rounds. Tito had speed/power in tandem at his prime weight of 154lbs as well as decent ring generalship. By the time Tito fought Wright he was a fat ****ing slob who had nothing left in his legs and therefore nothing left in his power. :patsch:patsch:patsch I'd favor Winky over Tito prime for prime, but it wouldn't have been the same fight that you are talking about :lol:

    I know he has a style that can be outpointed you ****ing imbecile, I made that clear in my posts when I said that I have no problem with people picking Floyd to win this fight I just said I don't think it would be a wide UD, considering that Floyd is not a natural welterweight. And at welterweight/junior middleweight, not a lot would out point him as you claimed.

    I really, really struggle to see the comparison between Winky Wright and Floyd Mayweather..that fight is pretty useless in this debate.

    Now the Oscar fight holds more weight...but again they are different fighters. Prime Oscar was just a better welterweight then Mayweather ever was anyway.

    I probably side with Mayweather but he would eek this out in very unconvincing fashion...he will be extremely cautious from bell to bell and you wont beat Tito easily like that.

    Right, because it's not like 40 other professional fighters haven't tried trapping him on the ropes.

    how about you go **** yourself *******? calling me an imbecile because i think mayweather would outpoint trinidad and just stating my opinion? and to the other poster, i know the winky fight was a bad example but trinidad as an elite fight should have done something to get out of the way of that jab he just stood in front of it all day and i think the same would happen to him at his best too as you said

    I called you an imbecile not because you said Floyd would outpoint him, I called you an imbecile cause when you responded to my post, you made it seem as if I didn't give Floyd or any fighter the benefit of outpointing Tito which I clearly did when I said "I have no problem with anyone picking Floyd to win."
    I'm glad we got this situation as to why I called you an imbecile cleared up.:good
