    Im a little stumped on this one.. I can see Mannys speed and movement giving Tito all kinds of trouble.. I can also see Tito being too big and eventually catching him on the ropes(like Margo) but his combos are more fluid and he punches harder... I dont think Pac can afford to get caught with too many of Titos shots. Is Tito too big and hard hitting? Or is Manny too fast?

    pacquiao can't afford to fight a sloppy fight on this one and be disciplined just like when he fought oscar. if he did this, i'm comfortable that he could win a close but clear decision but one or maybe two wrong moves can spell disaster with tito's power.

    Pac too much stamina and too fast in both hands and feet. Pac UD Tito.

    Manny can box really well. If he fights a no bs fight, he could take all of Trinidad's play away from him. He would likely not, though. I still don't see him getting caught or anything. Maybe get's hit big once and boxes for the rest of the fight. I can't really see Tito winning this. (no offense, Tito fans.)

    Lmfao @ some here actually think Pacquiao would have beat a prime Trinidad. Prime Trinidad at 147 pounds was an animal. Prime Trinidad will be too big and way too strong for overrated Pacquiao. And yes i say overrated cause this stuff about Pacquiao being the greatest of all times and can beat Prime Leonard, Hearns, Trinidad, De la hoya (prime) is just flat out stupid.

    There is no evidence that pacquiao could have beaten a prime elite welterweight. So everyone in this place needs to stfu. As far as I'm concerned, Tito puts a hole in Pacquiao's face pretty easily.

    In the body shot in which a prime Trinidad who hits harder then Margarito is a very good body puncher.

    Without illegal handwraps Pac kills him.
    With illegal handwraps we have an interesting fight.

    Simple as that...

    Trinidad wouldn't have to chase Pacquiao around the ring. Pac could come to Tito and run into the cannons

    Nobody. I'm basing this off of Manny's ability as a fighter, not his performance against a Trinidad level fighter. I think, like the OP said, Manny could do things that would give Tito all kinds of trouble. Besides power, Trinidad doesn't really have anything that would seriously trouble Manny.
