felix trinindad vs manny pacquaio

Problem for Pac is that he is going to get hit. Slow ass Margo hit him more times then he has ever been hit in a single round, Tito would touch him. You see the damage Cotto& Clottey caused on him without hitting him much and how he almost couldn't handle Margs power, Pac's frame can't handle Tito's Middleweight type power.

Tito's prime was 147 before he fell in love with his power and became a predictable stalker. Tito was fast, long and rangy, had a solid jab and righthand. Some may say it's easy to outbox Tito but Tito in his prime was only beaten by 2 great defensive fighters at middleweight.

While I am not saying Tito is the better p4p fighter then Pac i just feel head to head he is a bad match up for pac at 147. There is a time when size will overcome ability and I think this would be it for Pac. Tito has the size and great ability of his own.

 

Tito.

 

good points. I dont buy this 'Trinidad was too big.' Didn't we say that about the guy who outweighed Manny by 20 pounds? I think Manny would pretty much outclass Tito with his boxing skills. Tito is extremely left hook happy and Pac would make him pay for that.

 

Pacquiao is getting overrated, Tito is in a whole different league than the likes of Cotto and Margarito. Tito only struggled against guys bigger than him or guys that had a great jab.
If guys like Cotto and the slow Margarito were able to connect with clean shots, I don't see why Tito wouldn't, specially since he was more accurate and faster than those two.

 

Its one thing to bigger, its another thing to be good..and its another thing all together to be both..which IMO for this fight Tito is.

Tito is different in terms of style and class....Team Pac have picked smart going for Clottey and Marg...a lot is made of the size difference and it should be, but when it comes down to it what else is there to talk about? Marg was slow as all hell and damaged goods...Clottey's style and timidness suited Manny. It didnt really matter they were bigger, Pac had them in just about every other department by miles..and Roach has pretty much said this about both fights Im pretty sure.

Pac for me is just still to hittable..He will have to be an extra split second quicker with his attacks to make up the extra distance between him Tito, whereas he didnt have to worry about that against Molasses Margarito. Tito did have issues with good movers with good feet but he also showed he could get to them..and they needed an extra gear to see the fight out. People are going to talk about the Oscar fight but I think there are to many differences there for it to be a real deal breaker when talking about this fight.

To many unknowns for this one for me to be sure...Manny certainly has some attributes that will trouble Tito greatly, plus he has no real durability issues and his conditioning is other worldly. I would almost put money on Manny scoring an early flash knockdown in this one aswell.
But he hasnt proven he can keeping doing his thang for 12 x 3's against a rangy murderous puncher like Trinidad, who knew how find a home for his shots, at these higher weight.

 

I know some people won't like it, but Pea who was every bit as gifted as Pac and got handled against Pea see that as the answer...

Pea was skeeted yes skeeted... Pac doesn"t roll that way..Also Pac has power and is much faster on the foot than Pea...


Remember folks reflexes doesn't = speed:deal

 

also as much as i like Tito he wasn't a technician who could cause Manny probs.. Prime Oscar is a greater matchup.. tito moves in straight lines.

 

Tito was awesome but flawed...Pac's foot work and angles would confuse Tito as much as ODLH...Pac would win...

 

Tito was a very good fighter, a predator, but, you're overrating him...And you're underrating Cotto too...

 

Pac can hurt Tito with big timing shots

 

I hate to say it but Pac would KO him.
