    Who takes it at middle ?
    Leonard who beat marvelous ?
    Or Felix who stopped Joppy .?
    My own prediction is Leonard takes control in a tougher fight than anticipated ,to stop Trinidad in 11.

    I think Leonard would probably beat Trinidad. He was too slick a fighter for Tito but he'd need to box him because Trinidad's power at 160 was still impressive.

    Ray would beat Tito.. I think he could stop him, but best to go for a decision win which he would win easily.

    Serious question? Leonard would beat trinidad in every single weight above welter. They are not even comparable, Leonard is 1 or 2 classes above tito

    At 160 trinidad was not even close of being the puncher that he was in smaller weight classes

    Not as big a puncher, no, but he still had impressive power. I know William Joppy may not be the benchmark for durability but the way Trinidad crushed him was still awesome to watch.

    Trinidad struggled against Hopkins not through a lack of power but because Hopkins was too slick for him. That's why Leonard would still have to be wary in this hypothetical matchup and not just stand toe to toe.
