    For those of you who've not noticed yet, not only can GGG hit like a truck, he has very good boxing skills. Too much the complete package for Tito.

    Forget weights. Trinidad was 165 on fight night against Vargas and reid.
    Golovkin is always 170.

    tito was an inch taller..they are the same size.

    Would be one hell of a ****ing fight.

    I thought Trinidad was an okay-sized middleweight. 5’10”-5’11”, pretty normal. Hopkins, in comparison, was huge, as demonstrated by his ability to carry 175lbs+ with no difficulty at all.

    Might go with Trinidad by late stoppage, although hard to say given we haven’t seen Golovkin in a testing fight so far.

    Well said. Although some people don't like it when we let the facts get in the way of a good story, eh?

    GGG all day.

    GGG hasn't fought anyone close to Tito or for that matter anyone close to some of the people Tito beat. GGG has never been in with a fast leathal two fisted destroyer like Trinidad! GGG has never fought fighters like Vargas, Delahoya, Reid, Mayorga, Joppy. But the majority of you have no problem picking him to KO TITO......,, ���� someone please shoot me in the ****ing face........................

    It's a hypothetical question, and you didn't answer it.

    right. his prime was at welterweight, which is why GGG beats him.

    In fairness it's not comparing like with like. Tito was a welterweight. GGG is a middleweight.

    But FWIW I think GGG is just better anyway.

    Golovkin and it would be easy work.

    Trinidad would be in with the bigger, better schooled, heavier handed fighter.

    Golovkin would steadily break him down and stop him late.

    Trinidad is too straight forward to beat the bigger men.

    lol, this guys haven't got the memo that tito ONLY had problems with movers/boxers

    ggg style is perfect for tito. stalk and swing wild in corners

    begs for a tito tko

    to be extremely fair concerning weight, tito ko's him at 154
    at 160 is a toss up at best
