    Well Trinidad's stance in it of itself puts him at at a disadvantage with someone of Floyd's skillset. His toe to heel style with his backfoot did not allow him to get off power shots unless he set his feet against a stationary target. With Floyd's lateral movement and ability to slip punches I dont see Tito consistently getting into position to let lose his powerful blows just like against Oscar. Im certain Floyd can duplicate Oscar's movement without tiring, the question is can Floyd land something that can gain Tito's respect. Movement aside Floyd tends to become a stationary target on the ropes and though he has amazing ability to slip and roll punches he puts himself in danger of getting caught with something huge when looking for counter opportunities, which would be Tito's only hope in this matchup.

    70/30 Floyd IMO.

    Trinidad doesn't have the balance to beat Mayweather, nor the ability to deal with side to side movement, which is a glaring flaw for an ATG to have.

    trinidad sucked against boxers.
    odh layed out the blue print to beat him.
    hell even a shot to **** roy jones laid waste to him... tho trinidad was shot himself.

    floyd wold ud him provided he didnt get caught like he did against zab & shot to **** mosley.

    hoya vs pretty boy would have been epic.
    give tbe edge to a prime hoya though based on that jab... the only real punch floyd struggles to defend.

    how many fights did Trinidad lose at 147? he went 12 at 160 with Hopkins. I dont understand why its just taken for granted that a 5 8 Mayweather just walks past Trinidad at 147. Trinidad at 147 and prime is no walkthrough for anyone.

    Mayweather wouldn't have the balls to fight at 147lbs if Prime Oscar and Tito were fighting at the weight.

    All Floyd had to do was negate Oscars jab and left hook. A younger Floyd vs a younger DLH just means more speed and pop for Floyd. While Oscar would still struggle with Floyds defensive shell. Do u not recall Mayweather buckling oscar with two counter right hands with 10oz gloves and being outweighed by 15 lbs. Mayweather beats oscar at any point of his career.

    Floyd boxes Tito silly. Tito just wouldn't be able to deal with Floyd's skill set. Floyd wins a SD on Oscar. I think the fight would be close but Floyd would pull away late in the fight.

    DLH not sure. Considering how close the fight was between Mayweather and the past prime DLH it would have been very interesting. Slight edge to Oscar. Everyone who thinks prime Oscar was the version they saw against Mayweather or even worse the version against Pac, YDKSAB!

    Unless Tito could land a punch like Mosley did, Floyd would win a UD against Tito. I see Floyd fighting Tito the same way he fought Corrales.

    Floyd would smoke them both like nothing, it's a fantasy fight. In real life, he wouldn't even get in the ring with an Asian midget. His claim, the little midget can turn him in Ali and he's terrified of that.

    I would fancy a prime Oscar to do the business on Mayweather - the work rate, jab and power would be enough to seal a UD i think.

    I actually agree with most posters that Tito didnt do very well against boxers but was very good at imposing his size advantages - Having said that i guess Mayweather could get on his bike avoid that left hook and pull out a boring UD win.

    BTW - someone others mentioned a few other names here is my opinion

    Mosley - I would favour floyd in a close fight - Mosley was a fast punching powerhouse at 147 and frankly speaking if he caught floyd like that closer to his prime, its unlikely he would see the next round. Still think skills wise he Mayweather would take this

    Forest - Frankly his size, power, speed should see him get a wide UD over Floyd i just dont see Mayweather doing anything that can beat that freak of a WW (RIP)

    Tito I could see. Oscar I have a harder time seeing.
