    The version of Mayweather that beat Judah vs the Trinidad of the late 90s I would go with Floyd due to is ability to adjust and his ability to show up in big fights with a different look going in. You know what you're going to get with Tito. I think Floyd comes in with a solid game plan and is able to move and box well enough to get a clear decision.

    This is a very difficult fight for me to pick a winner in, I'd have to really think about this one!

    Maidana arguably beat Floyd in 1st fight.

    Old shot DLH arguably drew Floyd.

    JLC did beat Floyd.

    Floyd waited 6 years to fight Manny. That is a fact. And its also not a coincidence.

    Trinidad would be live versus Floyd as he would not have respected Floyds power.

    Slight edge to Floyd decision but who knows

    The Chumpion Fraud Mayweather DUCKED Antonio Margarito. Do you honestly believe he would take on a prime Tito Trinidad?

    Yep. That on the ropes shoulder roll **** would only get him so far against a prime Trinidad. Something would eventually get through and with Felix’s pop… it didn’t have to be full force. If Trinidad got Floyd as hurt as Mosely did (And he would eventually) he finishes floyd.

    Here's the thing, I don't think that Oscar's performance against Tito should be used as a measuring stick for how Floyd would do against Tito at 147. Floyd was more "technical" than Oscar but Oscar was much busier at 147 than Floyd was (Floyd was more of a counterpunch who knew how to adapt within rounds). I honestly think this would be one of those trilogies where a draw happens but Tito wins the war. Tito was just too big for FLoyd at 147 and 154(Tito was very dangerous at this weight). Now.... if Floyd was a natural 154 pounder, I would favor him to outbox Tito rather easily.

    Floyd wouldn't take this fight, he ducked fighters much less dangerous.

    Oscar, with his granite chin, was able to outbox Tito, but ran for the last couple of rounds and lost tye decision.

    Floyd's punch and hold technique may have worked against some opponents, but not sure how it goes against Tito, who was a big strong 147 pound fighter.

    Pickem fight. Tito stoppage or Floyd SD.
