Thats cause no one better than him :deal Competitive fight but mayweather outboxes tito easily, if hopkins footwork gave him troubles, mayweathers footwork at 147 with make tito dizzy
Floyd would likely split his guard with straight punches and win on points, sticking and moving and rolling a majority of Tito's combinations. Tito was very balanced as a boxer-puncher though and I can see why people might favor him given his power in both hands on top. I favor Floyd to out-maneuver Tito but I consider Hopkins the superior ring general.
Prime Trinidad against this current version of Floyd. Trinidad was an offensive machine. Beautiful technique, lovely fluid combinations. I personally think Floyd has slowed down to such a degree that he would make himself available to Trinidad's offense, and I don't care who you are, if you're a Welterweight on the end of Tito's punches, you're going to struggle.
Trinidad is too much man at 147 for Floyd. lets be honest for a 2nd here. Most of Floyd's opponents were gassers Tito had 15 round stamina. Floyd doesn't punch. Tito walks through all Floyd's power & when floyd backs himself to the ropes,omg. I absolutely just love how on the 1st page totally ignorant posters used some rather ******ed triangle theorizing to support Floyd winning. Floyd & B-Hop are nothing alike. You'll 1st need to understand that B-Hop fought better fighters, over a longer period of time. In short B-Hop, Winky & even a prime welterweight DLH are better than Floyd.
I see this fight playing out similarly to Mayweather - Corrales. Money May puts on a clinic and embarrases Trinidad, hardly losing a round in the process
oops thought it meant mayweather at 147 in general, not the current version. I voted mayweather ud but now that i see its the current version i would have to switch it to tito by ko/tko.
Tito met a prime Oscar you ****ing shithead, dont compare the DLH that Trinidad met to the one Floyd faced
Tito's skills eroded over time because of weak defences which caused him to get in the habit of depending to much on that left hook, being generally to grounded and one dimensional. Almost had the makings of a boxer-puncher early on, nearly but that went down the drain after half a dozen or so title defences against very poor opposition..Plenty of threads on here about the how and why he fought weak opposition early in his career...Ill boil it all down for you in one word..King. He even tried to leave King at least once in his early career but was reeled back in by the grimy *******. Mayweather likely outpoints him but I don't know why people have so much faith in 147+ Floyd..He just doesn't look the same kind of awesome. Not quite as quick, less mobile, more conservative and undersized...He will win but he will do it carefully and not nearly as impressive as some people are saying.
If hopkins could tear tito apart, wtf do you think mayweather would do? And when has mayweather ever been hit with a left hook?
