    That about sums it up right there.

    But I will go with a mid round KO by Trinidad, during which time he boxes Jacksons face off.

    Pretty much..its a toss up.

    But you gotta lean with Jackson because he comes right out to ****ing decapitate you but Tito usually took his time a little more...I think Julian could catch Tito out, and I don't even think Tito's excellent recuperative powers would help him.

    But still pretty much a toss up...because Tito had the power to knock out Jackson aswell.

    jackson could knock down a wall, trinidad was best as a welter. this would have been an absolute classic. i think jackson would have kept him down. recently i've been thinking about chavez v hatton at light welter; that would have been a mean fight.

    I'd say Jackson would win within five. I don't think Tito was as shrewd as McCallum (or as durable) to be able to take that early onslaught and still remain victorious. Whilst Tito was a savage puncher, Jackson seemed more durable at JMW as opposed to MW and SMW.

    Could go either way, but I'll go for Jackson.

    He said as durable as McCallum...which he certainly was not.

    I would have to lean towards Jackson for his power and stalking. There would be no I got knocked down and now I am going to kick some ass. If Tito did get caught and got back up, he would get stopped as soon as Jackson jumped on him again. Tito did well at 154, but he beat two very young, unexperience, and still a bit green champs in Reid and Vargas. 154 was Jackson's true weight class and even though he fought at 160. It says alot to fight the G-Man and then return for a rematch.

    Really whoever lands first. Tito was the more calculating puncher, Jackson went right at you from the start. So Jackson could land the bomb first in his aggression, or Tito does it with a counter.

    Chances are that Jackson hurts Trinidad first.

    No.

    I'd favor Jackson in this matchup pretty handily based on the two fighter's starting habits. Jackson was always aggressive from the get-go. If you were within range he was throwing bombs, and against a fighter like Tito, who was the exact opposite (he liked to feel his opponents out and get the juices flowing before he'd start teeing off, which is what led to him being caught cold and and hurt or dropped early on more than any other time during his bouts). This would be his undoing against a guy like Jackson IMO, and I'd say the fight would be over within a few rounds after Jackson lands the big blows first. Tito was very adept at getting off the canvas to put his opponents in jeopardy right back, but Jackson's shots would be a lot harder to shake off than a guy like Campas, and his finishing skills, especially on an open target like Tito, were top notch.

    That's my prediction, but I took more issue with your assumption that Tito would outbox Jackson in the sense you described than anything. Jackson was the better technician IMO; tighter stance, higher guard, textbook punches from every position, good jab, etc. He was a very well schooled fighter, that aspect just gets underrated due to his power. No boxing master mind you, he lacked the reflexes (especially defensive) and ring savvy/boxing awareness to ever be, but Tito himself had issues in these regards, and I think Jackson was a bit better at finding single shots against boxers than Tito, even if both had trouble getting off on a moving target.
