Manny Pacquiao vs Felix Trinidad at 147?

cool post, nice points

thats y i don't like "fantasy matchups", no way of proving it

only opinions, mines, yours, others, all don't matter or mean nothin

 

Nobody has neutralized Pac @ 147 or come close. He is better than any fighter @ 147 of all time offensively, conditioning wise and most of all mentally. He is too relaxed on his toes coming from all angles. You will never see a fighter like this again for a long time.

 

No, I don’t think so, like in the Oscar fight, Pacquiao will fight a more discipline fight against Tito compare to what he did against Margarito (knowing that Tito is a more threat). He will find trouble trapping Pac on the ropes as Pac will use more his speed. The only time Margarito got Pac on the ropes was when, Pac’s arm got tangled on the ropes


It is known that Pac did not train as hard as he can in the Margarito fight, against Tito he will be more prepared.

 

Don't compare Pac to Camacho, Pac has more power, stamina and Pac has punches that you don't see coming.

 

Manny has been in with some pretty good punchers in his time and hasn't been down (from what I remember) since the Barrerra fight and that was flash. Manny has a good chin. Not that Tito isn't a hard puncher, but I think Manny could take the punch better than people are giving him credit for.

 

You made the comparison, I didn't.

 

tito a whole nother animal in terms of punching power marquez,mab,em,hatton,margo,cotto all great in ownright but nowere near one punch power of felix

 

PAC would make Tito into a stiff ballpark pretzel.

 

I'd pick to UD Tito. Tito's left hook of course is deadly, but other than catching Pac with a monster left hook and KO'ing him I don't think he would win. His right hand was decent but not good enough to consistently give Pac trouble and that's the punch that's imo the key to beating Pac. Morales threw a nice straight right hand behind his jab to both the body and head and the right hand to the body is a punch that particularly gave Pac trouble in the first fight. Tito doesn't have the counter punching ability of Marquez and he's a bit of a plodder. I think Pac's style is all wrong for Tito.

 

prime to prime: Manny would KO Trinidad
manny like the style of trinidad, and trinidad had the glass on his chin
one big shot from Paquiao wiil KO trinidad

 

Stoppage or points . . . I'll pick tito.

 

Tito by KO.

Too big and strong for Manny.

 

One punch power? Lets wait till the early rounds this Saturday. :good

 

Difficult one to call. Part of me thinks that if Trindad caught Pac with the same shots that Cotto landed then he'd put Pac's lights out. However, Cotto is a good puncher but couldn't even shake Pac, whose chin seems very strong at WW. Margo had very brief successes vs Pac but couldn't capatilise due to Pac's speed of foot.

Trinidad had shocking footwork and how he ever generated the power he did was beyond me - he never looked properly balanced. However, Trinidad was strong for the full 12 rounds and often dominated opponents late on in fights.

Given Pac's own strength and resilience, his speed of hand and foot, his intelligence, combo's and Freddie in his corner I'd probably take him to eak out a close UD.
