    U included titos win over oscar? ... oscar was robbed ... if it were a close dec. I wouldn't be bitching but it wasn't even close ... from rounds 1-8, how many did tito win and based on what? ... no way dhl lost that. ... camacho? Really he was hot in the 80s .. 90s he was a clown ... sweet pea wasn't the same fighter when tito fought him ... whitaker tried to slug it out with tito .. now u think floyd is going to do that ??

    we all know what a beast tito was and at 154 he has a better chance
    (there nothing better I would like to see than tito KTFO floyd)
    but mayweather would figure him out and would win atleast 8 rounds easy

    Floyd is my fave active boxer. But there is nothing on his resume at 147 that shows me he can hang with a prime 147 Tito. if Floyd was a natural 147 pounder then I could make a case on Styles. But Floyd is not. Floyd couldn't hurt Baldomir the only Welter he fought that started his career at 147. I don't see him hurting Tito and Floyd does not move at 147 the way he use to at 130 & 135.

    Why do people think Tito would have been outboxed by Floyd. Trinidad only ever lost to boxers at heavier weights where his power was nulified by bigger guys. In no way, shape, or form is Mayweather bigger than Trinidad at 154 and and 147. Trinidad would press, stalk and put him out. To tall and long for Mayweather to counter. On top of that Tito was one of the quickest punchers in recent times and he would have connected sooner rather than later.

    Love both but at 147, Tito was a beast and Floyd could be hit easier than when he was below 140. Tito wasn't a wild brawler either he put punches together pretty well and with Trinidad's power all it takes is a few shots and props to DLH's endurance he did take a few of Tito's shots but wasn't phased. Still, I don't remember DLH taking Tito's bombs but anyways, Floyd will make him look bad but I don't know if he goes the distance versus Tito because sooner or later he'll get caught.

    Floyd is one of the best defensive fighters ever. So Trinidad hitting him flush or with a simple jab would be a challege, Floyd has the power to hurt Trinidad and knock Trinidad down if he counters him enough in the fight. Floyd, UD 10-2.

    Trinidad didn't have a right hand which would be his downfall against Floyd at 147 or 154. If we are talking about Floyd in fulkl bloom of his skills and Tito, Floyd wins.

    I think Floyd would beat Trinidad @ 147 just like DLH did in the 1st 8 rounds of his fight with Trinidad. Floyd would not have blown the lead though. If Tito could'nt KO Oscar, I'd give him less of a shot to KO Floyd.

    Tito is good if u stand in pocket and exchange with him.He beat pernell because pernell was trying to go mano e mano with trinidad. He beat david reid because david was trying to over power trinidad. He lost to oscar imo because oscar didn't try to over power him. He lost to bernard because bernard didn't try to over power him. He lost to winky because he got tired there was nothing to hit and winky kept pity pat jabbing him to death. Mayweather would beat trinidad just like he did baldamir
