    No fighter trained by their first blood can beat MP.

    Yes, yes. I agree as well.

    The Rican that took him forever to load on his punches? The one-dimensional plodder who has to plant his feet for a long time before he throws? :patsch
    Pac by death. I mean, by anal stoppage. :deal

    50/50. Pacquiao could to be too quick but trinidad might eventually prove to be too big and too strong.

    Trinidad by KO within 10, imo.

    Bad matchup for the Great Pac.

    Would be rooting for Pac, I just think Titos too big, too powerful, and would be landing what he needs to to end the fight.

    Hmm? of these two fighters which one wound up face down with nary a twitch at 147? and against a guy who was no where near a natural welterweight. Manny has that habit of,,jumping in, he'll get caught then ko'ed.

    I think people dont understand how big Tito was, and the size advantage he would have in this fight.

    You remember how huge Margarito and Hoya looked against Pac? Remember how it almost looked like sideshow fights?

    Trinidad is that big.

    Except it wouldnt be a Margarito, or a shot Hoya, it would be a prime Trinidad.

    Tito was undefeated at 147 pounds and would have been competitive with anybody. Tito defeats Pacquiao by homicide.

    Tito also genuinely beat Pernell Whittaker an ATG and Tito was a very good boxer puncher. Have no doubt he destroys Pacquiao .

    Pacquiao is by far the superior P4P fighter and ranks a lot higher all-time, but I'd take Trinidad by stoppage. I don't like the combination of size, height, stamina, and absurd punching power. Pacquiao would get hit by big left hooks the way he did over the first half against Cotto, but Cotto's punching power doesn't compare to Trinidad's. And Pacquiao isn't the outside outboxer who could control Trinidad from distance like Hopkins and De La Hoya. He'd have to get within Trinidad's danger zone.

    Tito is too big and powerful but by the same token he would've taken Floyd's head clean off too.
