    How does he fare between 147-160?

    Who does he beat & who does he come up short against?

    I would pick him over Duran from WW up, so I am prepared to get some hate from the Duran is the greatest fighter I have ever seen crew.

    loses to SRL at WW but I might take Tito above that weight???

    loses to Hagler at 160

    I am split (again prepared for backlash) on Hearns...I would pick Hearns but see it as very close to 50/50.

    At and above 154, he beats Duran and Leonard imo.
    Losses at 147 to both.

    Losses to both Hearns and Hagler at any weight they fought in.

    Tito beats Duran, possibly by stoppage
    Hearns is a 50/50 fight, depending on if Hearns avoids any big shots from Tito
    SRL and Hagler convincingly beats Tito

    Who did Tito beat at 154 and above that makes you think he can beat Duran and SRL? His best win was a green as hell Vargas. Vargas would have probably finished him if not for the huevos shots.
    I know Duran was inconsistent in the heavier weights but I still think he has enough to out brawl and out box Tito. Same with SRL.
    I dont rate Tito that high.
    I dont think the DLH fight was close. Vargas almost took him out. He has a punchers chance I guess but nah.

    Vargas almost took him out? Vargas was lucky to see the end of Round 1!

    It’s unlikely that he’d beat the Kalule version of Leonard. Maybe he’d beat the post lay-off version.

    Agree about Duran.

    He’d also have a chance of taking out Hearns at 160 if Roldan almost did it.

    Trinidad looked sensational at 154 - it's a shame he didn't stick around there longer but he had bigger fish to fry.

    I think he would lose to Leonard and Hearns at 147 and probably to at least Hearns at 154, but he'd give him a heck of fight in either weight class. Leonard at 154? I'm undecided. Leonard was definitely at his best at 147 but like Tito we didn't see much of him at 154. I'd still pick Leonard due to his pedigree but it would be a tough fight for Sugar Ray.

    Duran at 147 looked great so I think a fight with Trinidad there could be sensational. Duran at 154? Much more variable. Tito beats a less motivated version, of course. But if Duran was on, I'd slightly favour him.

    Hagler? Forget about it. Tito would get TKO'ed up at middleweight.

    Trinidad gets defeated by all 5 actually (I include Benitez,and he should be included) The severity of the beatings would be the only difference. Trinidad was too robotic for any of those fighters. I mean he was completely handicapped in his prime by Deloyhoya when he moved and didn't allow Trinidad to set his feet. I like Trinidad, and I thought he was very good for what he did. But he simply wasn't on the level of Hagler , Duran,Leonard Hearns , or Benitez . In my opnion, Hagler ,Hearns Leonard and Duran stop him at welterweight /super welter, Benitez wins a clear decision victory.

    Duran beats Tito at '47. At least the best versions of both. At '54? Still favor Duran because Trinidad isn't going to use his legs defensively. Their gonna be in the pocket. I see a stoppage for Duran at both weights.
    Leonard would box Trinidad and let the knockout come. If it didn't he would win 11-4. Maybe 12-3.
    Against Hearns? Favor Hearns 65%-35%. Tito would be a very live dog. Tommy's chin could let him down the longer it goes.
    Hagler? Too strong, too good a boxer, iron chin. I dont see Trinidad having any chance.
    I rate Tito as a great fighter but not quite an alltime great on this level. A tier below.

    Trinidad's best chances would be a disinterested Duran coming off hookers and Coke or catching Tommy being careless. I do think if he hurts Hearns he would finish him.
