Erislandy Lara vs Felix Trinidad 154lbs primes

Lmao @ Paul Williams…

 

Doesn’t work that way or else we’d have reach classes.

 

Those fights were at Super Middleweight/Light Heavyweight which is irrelevant to this discussion and Canelo was juiced to the gills when he moved up in weight.

Quartey is a big puncher he had a 86 percent stoppage ratio. so you're saying Vargas took big punches off a known hitter and he didn't go down ?

Tito did have known power above 147 ? I've already gave the examples.

Would Tito stop all of the opponents Canelo stopped at 154/160 ? Yes or no ?

Barring in mind we're talking about the likes of...

Kermit Cintron
Ryan Rhodes
Alfonso Gomez
James Kirkland
Alfredo Angulo
39 year old Carlos Baldomir
Amir Khan

 

Knocking out guys at higher weight classes is obviously relevant.

Quartey stopped nobody above 147.

 

No it isn't relevant because a juiced to the gills Canelo is different to the Canelo at 154.

 

Has a fighter ever beat Tito by dancing away from him trying to pitter patter their way to victory ?

ODLH tried that and he was a considerably bigger puncher than Lara and faded down the stretch.

Hopkins was bigger than Tito and beat him up on the inside he also had an ATG chin and very good crafty inside fighting.

Wright had a stonewall high guard defence and stood right infront of Tito.

Lara would be running away from Tito like he did to Canelo except Tito is more imposing with his height/reach. Tito also has game changing 1 punch power to turn a fight on its head as he did many times in the 2nd half of a fight.

 

Canelo was a young dude still growing into his body at 154. Trinidad was a prime natural 154 and he was a consistent banger. Trinidad created offense much better than any version of Canelo.

 

You’re unfamiliar with Lara’s game if you think he just runs around.

 

I'm familiar with the fact Lara has been fighting modest opposition for the past 6 years and looked pretty ordinary vs the likes of Castano, Molina.

Lara is overrated.

And Tito was better at 154 than the version of Canelo that Lara fought.

 

He can sharp shoot if you stand there and watch him do it but if you press him he has to move backwards and he can’t generate offense if hes constantly backing up. Against Trinidad he’d not only be constantly backing up he’d have to be aware of the long right hand. If he doesn’t get whacked with something in the early to mid rounds he’s going to end up tired and running hoping to land a lucky left hand and whenever he throws it he’s at risk of getting stuck in front of Trinidad.
