Prime tito was a beast. I would have to pick him in this fight. Pac won't be able to hurt tito since he could take a punch. He might get knockdown but he always gets back up and knocks his opponent out. Only one he couldn't is the bigger hopkins @ 160. @ 147 i doubt pac's power wouldn't bother tito.
Tito beat Manny by TKO. Tito signs the Mayweather fight and Mayweather retires until the coast is clear, whilst Roger claims all Puerto Ricans are on substances and have 45 calibre bullets bouncing off them.
Yes , but as we saw in his fight with Margarito, Pacman would still be a little too game for his own good. If A.M. can trap Manny against the ropes and bang on him like that, what do you think Tito's gonna do to him? We all agree that Trinidad is about the same size as Margarito along with being head and shoulders above him in every category(except punch volume)...right?
Trinidad was twice as dangerous as Margo, a huge welterweight with big big power even without the wraps. Pac is a great, great fighter, but Tito was great himself and is just far too big. Same goes for ODLH v. Pac. Pac is capable of taking out good to very good welterweights, but not ATG's who have 20-30 lbs natural size difference on him.
Tito is not Margarito, Clottey or Cotto (which imo would had given Pac a better fight, if not for being drained, the catchweight Pac rule, sign or no fight) in order for Pac to get to Tito he would had to walk through a heck of jab (from a 6' tall with dinamite in both hands) and then a explosive straight right hand and when close enough the left hook, and with roids and all, Tito still the bigger man.
I am a fan of both but you don't beat Trinidad by coming at him with the intentions of a war, that's how you get KO'd. Pacquiao has the movement to trouble him but with his leaky defense and Trinidad's sharp accuracy I'd favor Trinidad. Yes Oscar gave the last few rounds away but he was getting nailed by some nicely timed rights by Trinidad. If he could hit a prime and taller Oscar then I'm sure he'd hit and most likely splatter Pacquiao.
Lets put it like this...... Tito beat technical fighters like Hector Camacho, Pernell Whitaker, Oba Carr, David Reid and Fernando Vargas, if your just a power punching, a one dimensional fighter, you dont do that. Look at Manny's face after the Margo, Cotto fights, and then think about the punch that momentarily took his balance against Marquez 2, and ask yourself, what happens when Tito hits him. Tito was a big 147lbs, which is why I reckon he had success at 154/160 (Joppy)
