    Tito PHYSICALLY peaked during his David Reid/Thiam fights.

    Tito vs the version of Floyd that fought Cotto, would knock Floyd the **** out. Its just my opinion, he'd most likely be behind on the scorecards when he knocks Floyd out.

    Trinidad hit probably 5x harder than Cotto. ATG level power. Tito is underrated in EVERY aspect of his game these days because no one has seen his career from beginning to end and fully understood his potential in his prime. Guy was an absolute KILLER.

    So its prime Tito against 35 year old 151 lb Floyd, lmao.

    It's always......If the Floyd who fought Cotto fights that way against the Pacquiao who fought Cotto and Margarito, Pacquiao kills Floyd. Nevermind the Pacquiao that fought Shane and Marquez 3. It's always vulnerable Floyd, lmao, against prime opposition.

    Thats interesting, considering Floyds defense and mandibular fortitude. Add to that the fact that Tito did not stop Whitaker,DLH or Reid, but he knocks Floyd the **** out?

    Hilarious :lol:

    I actually agree. This version of Floyd is clearly past his physical prime and is mostly a stationary fighter. No leaping left hook, no pull back counters, slowed down reflexes. And we are talking against a prime Tito.

    But prime for prime, Floyd via schooling.

    Trinidad beats any version of Mayweather above 140. The one who fought Cotto gets absolutely annihilated. Mayweather just isn't very good above 147.

    At 154, he would have a chance (he'd still be the underdog).

    And no version at 147 takes more than two rounds off Floyd.

    Whitaker got up from the canvas about 5 times. I do not think
    Floyd would do that.

    I'm not convinced Floyd would beat any of those 3 in his prime or Tito.

    I think he'd lose to DLH considering how close their fight was when DLH was shot. He'd probably lose to Winky also because Winky is as technically sound and as defensive as he is and punches much harder. I think he'd have trouble with Tito because Tito has power, and in his prime was very difficult to beat.

    Current Floyd loses to Tito but the Floyd with legs who beat Hatton would beat Tito.

    LOL at people overrating Tito, the guy would have been made to look a fool against Floyd.

    Possibly much more than probably.

    Trinidad`s boxing skills were a good couple of levels beneath floyd`s, its whether he could make the power & size overcome the skill gap, interesting fight, crazy to bet big either way IMO.
