    Manny Pacquiao was a great welterweight. But Felix Trinidad was a natural 147 pounder. I see a great fight and a decision victory or late TKO for Tito. Many people seem to forget how a great a fighter Trinidad was.

    You should be banned for comparing Magaro with Tito

    Manny can’t box like Oscar could. Manny was knocked out cold by by Marquez. Felix is a bigger puncher than Marquez and a natural welterweight. Pacquiao was a fine welterweight, and would put up a good fight, but I see Trinidad as the winner.

    While he certainly didn’t have a great chin, Tito didn’t have a glass jaw either.

    Marquez was the perfect punch, no one else even dropped Pac at WW other than marquez

    Very conflicted about this one but I can see a war that remove both of 'em from their respective primes

    I’ll take Pac, he may get dinged a couple times but I see him out hustling Tito and Tito looking frustrated with Pacs angle and unconventional punches.

    When it comes to hypothetical match ups, people put too much stock in JMM stopping Pac after sharing the ring with him for literally dozens of rounds to land that punch….

    Stopping Pac after he became Pac wasn’t easy, that’s why the only guy that could do it took the experience of having 4 fights with him, on top of being a great fighter and a great puncher himself….

    I said this like 6 years ago. Tito is a stylistic nightmare for anyone with a frame not equal or bigger or who's shorter than him. Manny was nearly half a foot shorter. We can look back at his career, he never lost to anyone that he had a frame/height advantage over.

    The thing with tito was he used his range and had power. In lower weights he was quite rangy
