Im not buying the whole Tito was way too powerful thing, I think today's Floyd and Manny would beat the elite of the late 90s. The the current scene features the top P4P fighters emphasizing superior movement to supplement their skills. Styles make fights, and imo the movement makes the difference. FYI Pac let Clottey/Margo hit him at times. He takes breaks during rounds, and he even says it himself- he wants to make the fight exciting for the fans. Before bringing up Whitaker imo DLH lost that fight and was washed up by the time Tito got to him. Thirdly, they both have great power but I don't see a knock out in this fight. Many if not most of Tito's big fights (Oscar, Whitaker, Camacho, etc any ATG or HOF) were wins by decision with the exception of Vargas, but 80% of HIS losses are by stoppage. Tito however has been dropped quite a few times in his career, but Pac hasn't proven his KO power in WW as of yet. :bbb
The Oscar fight is all you need for evidence, the Hopkins fights also. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sakDjoOB80c[/ame]
He found him because DLH's stamina sucks - always been. Pac's stamina is about 10x better, he can befuddle Tito for 20 rounds if Tito were still up by then. :dead
I lean towards Tito by KO, Trinidad was a huge welter and not no plodder (see hands of plaster) though Pacs movement and speed could see him winning by KO aswell
Tito By Brutal KO! Wonder why Pacquiao never wins on fantasy fights. Pacquiao is too small for a welterweight, Pac got KTFO during his early fights, Pac gets schooled by Juan, Blah Blah Blah Booh Hoo!!!
He was still mobile and Trinidad found him. Yes his stamina was questionable but he was still moving a lot and Trinidad nailed DLH, a mobile target. Pacquiao's movement would cause problems but Pacquiao would get caught by Trinidad whether he wins, loses, or gets a draw in this fantasy matchup.
Trinidad would knock his freaking lights out. Give me a break. Pac destroying shells of DLH and Mosley does not qualify Pacquiao to be mixed into conversation with prime welterweights in Tito/Hoya. Pacquiao is certainly a greater fighter, historically its not even close. The guy is a demon. But we are stretching his capabilities here. He could not last with Trinidad. He gets hit by the punches that he let Cotto/Clottey hit him with with his hands up? Trinidad would decapitate the little guy. Much love for Pacquiao, he is the greatest fighter we have ever seen though. Fkn Bad ass.
