Prime Tito vs any version of Floyd

I think that floyd would be too slick for tito to handle, tito always struggles against expert boxers such as delahoya, hopkins and winky.

if tito could close down the space similar to what castillo did in their first fight, then he could hurt floyd and knock him out, but the chances are floyd will not give tito that opportunity.

 

What an ill-advised statement. Chico was never known for his quickness of foot, and showed zero ability to cut off the ring, and was the bigger fighter, yet Floyd was on the move the entire night. Chico was certainly not quicker at closing the distance than Tito, nor was he any better at cutting off the ring, admittedly a weak spot for both fighters. The difference at WW is that Floyd himself is nowhere near as quick or dangerous, and doesn't use anywhere near the same amount of movement he did at lower weights.

You're not even making sense. Against a constant pressuring opponent, Floyd will have to move, especially one with the power of Tito. Are you implying that Floyd is simply going to fight him flat-footed or against the ropes? If so smack yourself in the face.

Are you implying that the same doesn't apply for Tito? He'd be at much greater risk in this fight facing a bigger, stronger, more powerful opponent at a weight he himself is far less suited to.

No.

You must be the most simple-minded poster I've come across. Against boxers Tito offers unrelenting come-forward pressure. Like Chico, he is un-skilled at cutting off the ring, but it wouldn't matter at this weight because Floyd simply doesn't have the ability to move all night like he did with Chico. He'd be within range and hitting distance far more often against a far more dangerous fighter, with far less to offer at his own disposal.

 

look i'm not saying floyd couldn't win this fight..he could but 147 wasn't his best weight and Tito was dominant at that weight. if they fought 10 times at 147 i say tito wins 6 or 7 times

 

Floyd's a very smart fighter actually, which is why in all likely-hood he wouldn't go anywhere near Tito were he in his prime. If Floyd were fighting in the early to late 90's for the majority of his prime, I guarantee you he'd have never left 140.

 

here's a man who knows what he's talking about :good

 

and what world class fighters did he beat at 147?

 

what were his big wins at 147 tell me

 

I'd actually take Floyd to beat Margarito pretty handily. Margarito's arsenal just doesn't bode well for a matchup with Floyd. He's far too slow and wide to catch Floyd off guard, and would be getting countered all night long against the ropes, where Margo wouldn't be able to land his constant body shots due to Floyd's shell defense. Floyd would likely win a pretty wide UD, with Margo coming on at the end due to his accumulation of blows (though few of them clean) taking their toll. Against Tito, he'd be facing a much better puncher, a better boxer at range, and someone who'd make him pay dearly for leaning back on the ropes allowing him to tee off.
