Although I HATE to admit it pbf takes this fairly easy. Solid defense to neutralize tito's hooks mixed with lateral movement to give tito trouble slowing down his timing, and a strong jab to keep tito off balance ends up being the difference. Pbf ud trinidad
I wouldn't say he takes it fairly easy. I think it's a genuine 50-50 fight and it wouldn't be out of the question for Tito to take floyd out late on.
I'd favor Floyd by decision, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a left hook knock him down early. Tito would make it a good fight with his textbook boxer-puncher approach and sizable physicality.
Mayweather would shut Tito out if the best Tito can do against movement is the DLH fight. Can Tito do better at cutting off the ring than that? Because Mayweather on the backfoot is 1000 times better than DLH on the back foot
I would love to see Tito win....I would cheer for Tito.... But I cannot pick him here. Floyd might pitch a shutout, but I will be conservative and say a 10-2 type of decision, where the outcome is never seriously in question.
I don't disagree Floyd would win, but Floyd was never a "bouncy" mover. He's efficient, but largely planted when setting up his counters before escaping along the perimeter of the ring.
Unwinnable fight for Trinidad. Stylistically as horrid as it gets. Tito's game was simple and pure, throwing high-quality punches and basic combo's with true determination. To overcome this, you need defensive awareness, concentration and footwork. Tito's sheer size and bulk would keep Mayweather honest, but wouldn't win him rounds. Mayweather is the man for the job. Tito's size keeps him in the fight.
I don't see that as an issue, he still uses movement, has a superior defence, superior first shot, superior counter puncher. Mayweather can do better than DLH fighting a defensive fight, can Tito do better than he did against DLH? I think it's a terrible match up for him, I'd probably give him a better shot against Hearns who I think is the best H2H at 147 bar the Sugar Rays
Because floyd isn't overly reliant on his feet he can find himself being cornered at times. Judging by the spirited performance shot pea put up against tito (made him miss but couldn't make him pay) I think floyd takes a wide ud. Tito will massively struggle to land a shot and in the meantime floyd will land 3 or 4 of his own. I wouldn't rule out a floyd flash kd as tito gets frustrated and leaves himself open to the majestic left hook. Tito wins rounds when floyd takes them off. 9-3 floyd.
I'm going with Mayweather. He can adapt to what Trinidad brings. He may be shorter, but Mayweather has about the same reach. Trinidad dose have quilities that are needed to beat Mayweather. He has knockout power and he knows how to keep his distance. He dose not use his jab a lot and that has be picking Mayweather. He dose do a good job using his feet to get in and out of spots. I think it's an intresting match up. In debating who'd beat Mayweather, Trinidad is just at that cusp.
