    Let's say early 2009 at 160lbs (yes, we are pretending Trinidad decided to lose some weight). Who wins?

    If he could, I would go with Tito via big KO.

    Tito by K.O. in this fantasy fight.

    Trinidad said recenty he would fight 2 times in 2009 but to the likes of De La Hoya and Hopkins.

    IMO, neither of those fights will happen

    Trinidad by decision. I think Tito has more in the tank than most people think at this point, definately more than Forrest. Tito wouldn't touch this matchup, BTW.

    This is actually a pickem right now. Forrest would be at home at 160 while Tito would probably have to drain himself to make middleweight. Forrest is also slightly taller and could possibly outbox Tito. I base this on a few impressive performances from Forrest in between some poor ones while Tito has not looked spectacular in a long time.

    Tito hasn't won a fight in a long time.

    He has two victories in the past seven and a half years.

    Mayorga and some other dude.


    I don't believe he can beat Forrest.


    In fact, I can't think of any name who fights above 147 that Tito could beat, at this stage of his career.

    Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. I voted Trinidad by decision. But I wouldn't put my money on it :D

    Tito by TKO mid rounds ... easy fight for Tito ... Forrest can't move the same and doesn't have any other option but to stand there and fight or get knocked out.
