    At 147 prime Trinidad gets rid of Spence in 7-8 rounds.

    I got Spence. Spence was technically the superior and much more responsible defensively. I see Errol breaking him down in the end via stoppage or 8-4 decision. Hell.... Would favor Crawford and Charlo over Toto honestly

    I think that cowardly Spence would lose to Crawford but at 147 he would have beaten Felix Trinidad or maybe he would have ducked him too lol.

    Who knows really. Tito had a lot of missed opportunities at that weight fighting scrubs and jumping weight for no reason for over a decade, besides Campas, Phillips, Carr and Delahoya who made him look like an idiot. (Whitaker was coked out of his mind). There were fights like Quartey and Lopez that'd have raised his status greatly, that he could have won.

    Spence's resume isn't exactly glistening either, so who knows. I'll go Tito with those body shots.

    Im not surprised by the poll. Many modern fighters don't often get there just due, however I may just favor Spence in this one. I feel like he's the smarter and more technical fighter. They were both big welter weights. Trinidad packed the bigger punch, but I think Spences body attack may just level things out a little. Spence will have to be very defensively sound tho. Despite being at a higher weight class, I just can't get the Winky Wright vs Trinidad fight out of my head. I know Wrights high guard is damn near impenetrable but I can't help but remember how easy the fight was for Winky. I think Spence has the pedigree, smarts and technicality to edge this fight

    Tito via highlight reel knockout.

    Spence is unimpressive.
    Tito is a proven legend.

    You think Spence got rocked by Ugas, just imagine what Tito would do to him.

    Tito has no wins at 147 that would point to him beating Spence.

    And please don't bring up Oscar...Oscar beat Tito like a drum, regardless of the judges rendition.

    Except he didn't beat DLH now did he. A 50 year old Whitaker who isn't a natural WW FOH! Joppy! Is the best you can do Joppy and Vargas?

    Spence wins
    -Brook
    -Porter
    -Undefeated Mikey Garcia
    -Ugas that beat Pacquiao
    -Danny garcia
