    Both at their best, I want to say I'd favor Mugabi.

    Me too. What I will say is that I fell these two are somewhat overrated fighters, I think Mugabi's power and natural advantage in size tips the balance in his favour here. Though Trinidad had a good chin. I think this ones a war for however long it goes, but ref intervines to stop the bout in Mugabi.s favour by the mid-rounds.

    Mugabi TKO7.

    I'd go with the Beast, of course not after the Haglar fight though. Naturally bigger, stronger, and it took a lot of Haglar blow to put him away.

    Nar , Tito , and at 154 aswell, Mugabi comes right to maybe the greatest finisher of all-time!! That's that!!!

    Any number of fighters that came to Trinidad knocked him on his ass.

    His chin so so-so.

    He was never ever hurt at WW , that argument about his chin is overrated imo. He just caught early and went down but was right up and took over immediately. And at 154 was he ever in trouble?

    What happened to nearly every fighter that went to Tito?

    I know what happened to most of them.

    A prime Mugabi isn't "most" fighters.

    He had a lot going for him, sickening power and a great chin being two of them.

    He has a chance definitely , and with THAT POWER he most definitely has a chance!! But i think Tito wins this, Tito was one of the hardest punchers 147 and 154 has seen (seriously) , and like i said, possibly the greatest finisher ever (along with Joe Louis imo). Tito stops him imo

    I just favor Mugabi.

    Mentally I think he's a lot stronger than Tito, which is going to help because this is going to be war.

    Tito could be rattled pre-fight, and even during a fight.

    I'd take Mugabi by stoppage in 8 rounds or so. He was physically stronger than Trinidad and could take a hell of a shot before Hagler ruined him.

    I take the beast as well, for the aforementioned advantages of size, strenth and power.
