    All you dudes giving props to this post, I have to know, are you all really comparing middleweight B-Hop, Winky & a prime welterweight DLH to Floyd?? If so how did you come by that absolutely ******ed comparison??

    So you're also comparing the middleweight kingpin to a small welterweight. And also a welterweight Tito to a middleweight 1?? Ok.:huh

    147 Tito was a great boxer who never lost. Could go either way.

    2012/2013 Mayweather's footwork/movement isn't comparable to Hopkins at his best.

    Easy work for Floyd. Tito too slow on his feet. He is good against fighters coming at him.

    What look of terror? Also Just because Mayweather isn't the same boxer he was at 130 & 135, does not mean he's now a bum.

    As for the fight. I think Trinidad has a real good chance. While he doesn't really use a jab, Trinidad is really at keeping his distance. He also has real good power. The key to beating Mayweather is keeping distance, not pressure. How many pressure fighters dose he have to pick apart for people to realize this? The other key is having power. This will at least keep Mayweather honest.

    This is a bit obnoxious honestly. I hope everyone knows we are talking about the current mayweather, the one who stands flat footed and has been getting caught far more often than he ever was in the past. Floyd is 36 right now, lets be real about what he has left. He can't use his legs like he did against hatton, they just aren't there. Because of that tito would eventually catch him. All these people need to stop overrating this version of floyd

    Damn, Floyd really brought a lot of people into boxing. Floyd is my fave current active boxer, His skills are a marvel to watch and I almost always learn something watching him. With that said Tito is just too big for Floyd. Look at the skill disparity between Mayweather and Baldomir... Mayweather was leagues ahead of him in skill but was so much smaller then Baldomir he had too give up wayyy to much ground. it would be worse against Tito, Floyd would have to run for his life. Now add on PBF's flat footed style at 147 and the odds are worse for Floyd. Another issue is he does not have the pop to keep Tito off of him. Floyd hurt both hands and a wrist trying to keep Baldy off him. What the **** happens when you brake your fragile hand(s) against Trinidad?.... You get stopped that's what happens. This is a bad style match up for PBF, a boxer who started at 130 and peaked at 147 against a huge Welter who peaked at 160.
