    More than Mosley vs Mayweather this was the fight I wanted to see, and I always wondered who hit harder

    Precisely. It's more interesting than the old "Boxer vs. Puncher" bull****.

    This isn't even close... Tito by miles.. Mosley never had genuine punching power at 47 or above..

    Mosley is a pretty good puncher but generally more of accumulation guy than Trinidad, who could do way more damage with a single punch. He often put guys in trouble early on with a well-placed shot or two, and then would finish them with the onslaught. Or he could simply change the whole momentum of the fight with one shot.

    After that left hook in the seventh against Reid that scored a KD, the fight ceased to be competitive and Trinidad just kicked his ass from there. The first clean punch landed in the Vargas fight resulted in Vargas being hurt and dropped. After Vargas regained the momentum with a 4th round KD and a dominant 5th round, Tito turned the momentum once again in the 6th with a well placed right hand that caused Vargas to hold on.

    Let me put it this way, if instead of Mosley was Tito landing those shots on Margarito's face the fight would have finished in round 4 max.

    Tito ko'd middleweights. Middleweights, after Joppy, didnt want to exchange with tito. That explains Hopkins not wanting to exchange but a tactical fight. I think Hopkins was afraid to rematch for that fear. Mosely hasnt even ko'd that much above 140
