Manny Pacquiao vs Felix Trinidad at 147?

Good assessment, but he still didn't lose a round against Margarito. I see what you're getting at, but Tito isn't a tough, gritty, volume punching, stalker. Completely different styles. Strength may be a common denominator between the two fighters, but strength is effective to certain fighters based on how you use it.

 

Trinidad really didn't expect De la hoya to try and box Tito instead of a brawl that everybody thought it would be. But any way even though Oscar was doing very well, he still had a swollen cheek bone badly. Pacquiao is much smaller in which advantage still goes to a prime Trinidad.

 

You talk like Manny will be like Hopkins vs Trinidad . Manny has the speed advantage but he's no where near in Hopkins slick level. Just 1 big left hook by a prime Trinidad and Pacquiao would have been seeing stars.

Fair points...and "common denominator" was the phrase I was looking for. :good The more I think about it, the less obvious the answer seems to be.

However, in the spirit of banter, Tito always struck me as a moving forward fighter, I put him in much more as a stalker than anything else. I mean, he obviously isn't the kind of volume puncher that Pac is, but he still was just so darn efficient with his combinations.

I agree with you from the standpoint of Tito not being a gritty fighter that takes two to land one like Margaritto. But I would think if Pac tried to throw the kind of punch output against he did against Margarito, and still managing to get clipped a few times in the process, that he'd really take some shots against Tito.

I still think Tito take out Pac, but it would be a tough fight with both fighters winding up on the canvas at least twice. I'd like to change my answer to Tito via KO 10.

 

latino's can't beat manny

(don't bring up eric cuz eric lost twice-and don't say he's shot cuz no "shot" person would be able to live against el chino-, but also the thread is saying at 147)

 

Not even a fair fight. Pacquiao footwork way to fast for him. Felix was slow on his feet. Pacquiao will turn him around like he did vs Marg.

Pac will KO Felix or clear DE for pac.

Very easy win for pac

 

the only person to truely hurt tito was a ful fledge mw great named hopkins not a prime hoya,prime vargas did have flash kd but never hurt him prime tito was an asassin an pac aint hard to find an if jmm an some 108 pound fighters had him hurt felix takes him clean out period

 

those quick fighters gave him problems granted but the kd were flash an footwork problems an what else do those fighters have in common all ko victims tito does not get enough credit for ring smarts very underated in that accpect

 

if he was so hurt aginst fernando would he have had enough sense to go for the ball shot an the yori boy one was flash good punch but not flush an was in no truble after kd

 

Pac can get a decision on consistent activity from all angles, but I would not be surprised if he hit the canvas on the way there.

 

Camacho was supposed to have good "footwork " and fast hands and was made to look mediocre by the young Trinidad.
