    Up there at WW, Trinidad was one of the best with a boat load of defence s.
    He could be dropped no doubt but he also had some serious power.
    So in the long list of welterweight s thru history, who's the best name he could possibly beat. Iyo??

    Well if your talking about in P4P sense how highly there rated, then I'll go with Henry Armstrong. I think he'd be too small, and his swarming style wouldn't work against a lethal puncher like Trinidad.

    He could possibly beat any of them, if the stars aligned.

    I think he was a big welterweight with a good reach and heavy power.

    Not the best chin, but not terrible, same with his boxing skills.

    With his physical stature alone, I think he would be a tough go for just about ANY welter in history.

    Would love to see him in against Mayweather, Mosely, I think he destroys Margarito and Cotto, and the Paqioua fight would be very interesting indeed

    I thought of Armstrong straight away.
    It would be close due to Henry's high work rate but Trinidad s power tips the scales.

    He’d destroy Palomino and beat Pernell from 2-3 years earlier. Probably gets to Benitez too, especially if he’d have 15 rounds to do it.
