    Tito struggles against speed and movers and PBF is just that. I see PBF moving in and out on Tito all night long while Tito with his poor footwork comes forward following PBF around the ring which is one of the worst things you can do against PBF.
    PBF by UD.:deal

    hmmm... prime tito was pretty badass, and i could see him giving mayweather some tough moments... im not sure who i would go with to be honest, i can see mayweather outboxing him over the course of the fight and winning a decision, and then again i can see tito hurting mayweather once he lands and hurting him... i dont know, im forced to lean with mayweather but not posotive.

    I did this Poll a few weeks back and Mayweather won by a lot. I think that some of these Floyd lovers on ESB just started watching boxing recently and can't appreciate how GREAT tito was at 147. In my oppinion he gave a great account of himself this past weekend against a much bigger man than himself.

    I AGREE WITH YOU ALOT OF PPL HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW DANGEROUS TITO WAS AT HIS PRIME ONE OF THOSE LEFT HOOKS TO MAYWEATHERS BODY MIGHT HAVE FINISHED THE FIGHT IN MY OPINION.

    I think Mayweather is great at drawing people into the trap of trying to kill him, from his posturing at the weigh in, to him backing up in the first couple of rounds while he figures people out.

    Oscar De La Hoya showed the way to beating Mayweather in the first six rounds, then abandoned his jab, ran out of steam and lost.

    Other guys have had success at certain elements of the Mayweather puzzle, well.......pretty much all of them have really, but none have put it all together for a full twelve rounds.

    Lots of guys have been able to close him down and apply pressure, but none have been able to attack the body well enough, as we all know trying to catch his chin is futile!

    Tito would have knocked him out within first 8 rounds

    I always thought about this one....tough to call, considering the fact that Tito does struggle with movers. But in his prime he was persistant, packed a thunderous punch, quick hands and accurate counters, he was an offensive monster. Its a toss up....conventional thinking would tell me PBF but Tito can bring the pain at 147lbs.

    Floyd UD. He is too hard to hit for Tito and Tito doesn't adjust much at all during a fight. Papa Trinidad has no clue what to tell him. He just smacks him in the face screaming C'mon Tito.

    Tito only lost to ATG guys bigger than him ... no way in heck little PBF beats Tito in his prime he's just too small and has no power ...

    Tito fought prime Oscar and won ...that same Oscar that fought Tito that night would have knocked Mayweather out or won a lopsided decision !

    If Oscar had not rn and had just boxed like he could he would have won. Floyd would not need or use power to beat Tito, he also has enough to stop Tito from walking through him.

    Mayweather UD

    Tough pick.

    If it's a prime Trinidad that showed some manuverability and fought with a high output he could put Floyd in a defensive shell and outwork him to a decision. Mayweathers shown decent whiskers, so no reason to thnk he'd fall over getting tagged by Tito.


    Now if it's the Trinidad that followed De La Hoya around for 12 rounds, Mayweather wins a pretty wide decision.
