    OK.... And Yes I remember..... but his performance against Winky Wright is completely irrelevant when it comes to this matchup......... WHY ?? Because that was "WINKY WRIGHT" Floyd Mayweather is NOT Winky Wright . WINKY is not a former 130 pound fighter . FLOYD is not a legit 160 pound southpaw middleweight . I'm aware Shane didn't touch Floyd by agression , my point is I believe Titos size , punching power and AGRESSION will be key to knocking out the smaller Floyd Mayweather who's not even a true 147 pounder to begin with . Floyd would be extremely cautious fighting Tito , barely engaging , running around the ring, pottshotting and then quickly back to running . Tito will have no choice but to take the fight to him . In some point of these 36 mins , Tito combination punching will get threw to Floyd , and I'm sorry but as soon as something connects on Floyd . HE'S GOING TO DROP . He just not does not have the chin or the endurance to withstand a bomb from a banger like Tito . When I visualize it I have a very hard time seeing floyd surviving 12 whole rnds . When its all said and done..... Tito is just too powerful for Floyd .

    Mayweather in usual dominant fashion.

    I think Floyd wouldn't really hurt Tito until potentially the late rounds, but I see him landing at relative will while Tito ends up whiffing more often than not.

    I'm guessing this is a "prime WW Trinidad" whereas Floyd was prime three divisions south of WW.

    No doubt Floyd was miles ahead more skillful, hell, Tito even had bad balance, but tho he wasn't a devastating puncher like Chico prime Tito and Oscar threw punches in bunches and easily catch Floyd. Floyd's comp at 147 were WEAK, unlike the comp Tito and Oscar faced 90's-2002 or so. Floyd could handle Oscar or Shane once they gassed, but prior to that the older warriors more than held their own with Floyd. Boxers like Hopkins, Wright, and Rj were able to beat Tito not because they'd make him miss, they still had to absorb and handle his power. Floyd would not be as successful. Like I said, 147, maybe Floyd would squeek out a decision, but 154 Tito at his best Floyd gets a clear UD loss. Nothing he can do to slowdown Tito's attack.
