    Ain't no way Tito is getting a KO/TKO win here.. no way.

    Shane would utilize his skills in a competetive fight, winning a close but clear UD.

    Mos wins his hand speed would have had Trinidad stymied and Mos has a great chin to keep him in the fight

    I think he even drops TITO at one point I just dont see How TITO could handle his speed

    It seems that everyone still remembers that Mosley who was looked flat and uninspired at 154 and that guy is who they put into this match0up.


    SSM was technically a boxer. Watch his fights at 135 and you'll see him use his speed to create angles to make him difficult to hit. He may not be as defensive wizard like PBF, but he's defense is underrated. Plus his chin is sound. He's been with a lot of hard hitters and he's only been down once. Never KO'd.


    I figure SSM will be wise enough not to get too comfortable exchanging punches when he discovers how easy is Tito to hit.


    I pick Shane by a close decision after surviving several hairy moments.

    He also hits the canvas a lot more than Vernon.

    Trinidad is more technically sound with his punches, and glove positioning. Mosley would wing a lot of shots, paw with the jab, leave himself wide open down the middle. He had marvelous physical gifts which allowed him to, and he improvised more.

    Mosley had more technically sound footwork. Trinidad would constantly make mistakes with his footwork and balance which resulted in him dropping the canvas quite a bit. The guy circled the wrong way constantly against Wright.

    I think the only comparison is Mosley vs Oscar and Winky he fared better than Tito vs both rivals I would pick Mosley.

    I'm sick and tired of people calling Trinidad overrated. Im not saying he's the best ever but by no means is he overrated. If anything he is underrated.

    Mosley in a close UD. I feel Mosley has the intangibles to win this fight.
