FELIX "TITO" TRINIDAD vs. ROBERTO DURAN (at 147 and 154)

Out of respect for my boy Tito4Eva, I'll keep my opinion on this one to myself.:good

 

someone told me that rico is obsessed with glass jaws. I told them to leave rico alone cuz people metion **** like that once in a while. now i realised that u've never made a post not involving the glass jaw before.

btw i'd say duran by stoppage and at 147 tito may UD

 

Duran, Duran. By decapitation. Tito would play right into Roberto who would chew him up on the inside.

 

Duran lost 5 of his next 10 fights after beating Leonard. I cant believe how massively people overrate Duran at these weights.

 

After the loss to Leonard, Duran went on a downward spiral before picking himself back up again, when he should've been at the end of his prime by then anyway, as he'd been boxing near 13 years in close to 80 fights. The fact that he was still able to have major success when seemingly shot and way past his best days and best weight, just goes to show how skilled he really was.

If we're taking the Duran of the Leonard or Palomino fights (or just his pre-Leonard II WW days in general) at WW, Tito doesn't stand a chance.

 

What Pea? You don't think Tito could be competitive with Duran @154?

 

OK bro I get the point:good

 

Both in their prime, as long as Duran was focused he would win 100% at 147 and 80% at 154.

 

How 'bout at 160? C'mon throw me a bone here Pea

 

I think that you would have to favor Duran at 147, but Tito has a real chance at 154.

 

Major success? Where? He lost 50% of his fights. The wins he did have were against nobodies. His only quality win was Barkely. Who's only claim to fame is beating faded versions of Hearns.

Tito thumps his head. :yep

 

At 147, Duran stops him.

At 154, a UD for Duran and possibly a stoppage here too.

 

So Cuevas and Moore weren't quality wins? His performance against Hagler showed his skill level (which was always there when his heart was in it and he was in shape, even up to his old days), being a natural Lightweight up against an ATG MW.

And Hearns wasn't really faded in the first fight with Barkley, he was dominating before getting careless. Barkley was in his peak and was actually a pretty underrated fighter, especially for a 39 year old, bloated natural Lightweight to beat. I'd say Barkley was certainly better than a Pavlik.

I doubt you've even seen his fight with Palomino, but if you've seen the Leonard fight you should realize clearly how ridiculous your view is.

 

no wonder in every mythical match up when it comes to pac you guys are juggling each others balls together but ended up crying in the actual, real fight :rofl:rofl:yep

 

I actually thought you might have had something to say about the topic, just to prove you were aware of the existence of a fighter outside of Pac. I guess you're still too busy juggling Pac's balls around in your mouth to do that.
