Tito vs. Mosley (Prime)

Don't forget the Mayorga fight.

 

I forgot those beatdowns.

Anyway, the edge in performances over common opponent isn't really that extreme. Both Tito and Oscar have had their fights against common opponents in which they looked better.

 

I understand and agree Erratic, but you have to look deeper when we are going to see how a boxer would do against Trinidad or DLH, in this case Mosley.

My point is simple. If DLH had a hard time tagging Mosley in the remacth, and DLH was throwing lightning speed combos! Then how do you think Tito would fair.

Now if Mosley decided to trade as he did against DLH in their first bout then YES the upperhand goes to Tito.

BUT do you really believe he would trade with Tito? NO. He would fight Tito somewhat the same way he fought Oscar in the second fight and Collazo and the second Vargas fight. I see a clear cut win for Mosley.

Tito fights the same in every fight and that is another thing to take into consideration.

 

This is a tough one to pick. Mosely couldn't knock out Trinidad but I'm not so sure Trinidad could knock out Mosely either. If it ends in knockout Trinidad would win, if it goes the distance it's 50-50.

 

Mosley tries to fight with Trinidad and loses. Especially at Light Middleweight, Mosley probably gets knocked out unless his chin can carry him through Trinidad's hardest punches.

 

just stick to floyd threads.

 

first of all; de lay hoya did beat trididad in that fight. i don't know what fight you were watching (if you even saw it), but oscar landed over one hundred more punches. the judges were terrible that night.
mosley, in his prime, dominated fights. his speed and footwork were incredible. i can easily see him outlanding trinidad. they are both great fighters, and i don't know if he would have knocked tito out, but he would have definately outscored him.

 

tito by stoppage if you can't see this then your either a tito hater or an overzealous mosley lover

 

This would have been asthetically amazing to watch. Hard to tell who wins, would have been a great scrap tho.

 

I seriously doubt a knock out occurs. Mosely is extremely solid, he has only been down once.

 

My vote is TITO with the illegal wraps by KO

 

Good post, although I don't necessarily agree.

Trinidad is definitely more offensive minded that De La Hoya was in the rematch. He's also more accurate with that straight right hand down the middle. Of course, he's more powerful as well. Naturally, any fighter who's being more offensive minded will get hit more but has a better chance of landing good shots too. For instance, the two Mosley-DLH fights.

Mosley obviously will not go all out with his trading but I can't really see him fighting a disciplined defensive fight either, like Oscar and Bernard did. He excels when he can do his "power-boxing" and be more aggressive. Something's gotta be sacrificed if you're being more aggressive or conservative.

I don't really see it as being too clear-cut for either guy, personally. I think it's a terrific matchup and I can see both sides of the argument. The odds at 147 are better for Mosley. Tito's chances improve if they are at 154.

 

@147 Mosley outboxes Trinidad and takes a UD.
