Tito Trinidad would smoke GGG opposition to date and look more impressive doing it.

    Golovkin would KO Oliver McCall if he wore Tito's illegal wraps.

    Prime Pacquiao destroys Trinidad.
    10-12 knockdowns per round minimum until the ref stops it.

    Trinidad actually had a formidable chin in his prime? I mean Hopkins isn't a devastating puncher, but quite a good one, took him 12 rounds to knock out Trinidad, and he landed some devastating counters. He also took some shots from Mayorga, as well as others. I wouldn't classify him as an iron chin, but he didn't have a glass jaw either.

    As for the second part, that is true. He was a fighter who relied on his power for everything. If you used lateral movement, wouldn't stand in front of him, and boxed smart, he was screwed. DLH embarrassed him before letting off the gas, Hopkins then took it to the next level, and annihilated him. Hell, Winky stood in front of him and whooped him too, but his defense was superb. I always felt Trinidad was very overrated, technical fighters always gave him huge trouble.

    How could I forget El Radar:patsch . . . An ATG at WW is an extremely tough nut to crack, it is a credit to any fighter to be even in contention of that type of recognition. I would probably say he has a better to be considered at 154 (even though it was not his best weight) because the division is not as deep historically.

    Maybe, maybe not. The 160 Trinidad was very overrated, his highlight is the destruction of Joppy, but for sure he would beat many of those who fought Golovkin. I think Stevens really gives him some problems and Rosado would be a good one while it lasts.

    Tito only beat 1 full blown middle but an average one at best.
    GGG is a power punching master boxer who can catch, roll,
    parry, and slip. You haters are just too dense to see it, or
    you have snow blindness from the white hate. GGG would
    without a doubt brutally KO tito trinidad, who's best weight
    IMO was 154lbs. Golo is a better boxer and a better puncher
    at 160 than Tito was, and showed me in the Stevens fight
    to possess a better chin. At this point Trinidad is the p4p
    better fighter, but at 160 it's a mismatch.

    Trinidad, was a natural welterweight. His punching power was never the same above that weight class. He would be beating most of these guys, but he would not be laying them out the way GGG is.

    Tito would get stopped early by GGG. The man had did nothing of consequence North of 154 and frequently got hurt early, even at lower weights. GGG is not the guy to let him back into the fight once hurt.

    If he had no chin he would have been knocked out cold by the punches he took from DLH, Vargas and many more. Hell it took Hopkins 12 rounds to finally stop him and that was the one and only stoppage of his entire career. You're just a hater.

    dlh was a protected pretty boy. they barely came close enought to punch the whole fight. vargas was a steroid induced bum, who was exposed time and again.
