    First fight at 140, the lighter Trinidad from the first few years of his career.

    Second fight at Welter.

    I think Tito was too green at 140 and would've been stopped. At 147, in his prime, I think Tito would stop Pryor. Tito handled speed (Camacho, Whitaker were admittedly past their prime), and he handled guys with power. Pryor had the total package. Pryor maybe knocks him down once or twice, but doesn't keep him down. I think it would be a wild fight but Tito was a huge puncher at Welterweight and he'd show Pryor power he'd never seen before. Pryor was very gifted athletically, maybe had the tools to totally outbox Tito, but I never saw him fight where he didn't make glaring technical errors (like lunge while keeping his chin way too high). I just think Tito would eventually get him out of there, possibly with uppercuts.

    I don't know Tito at 140 but at 147 he was too much for the very good but face first Pryor .... too strong and hard hitting .... I like Tito by KO ...

    I see Pryor doing what he did to Arguello to Tito, very similar styles

    At 140 Pryor stops young Tito. At 147 Tito stops Pryor likely.
