    Maybe talked about before. Mayweather was definitely a better boxer but I think Trinidad's will would have won out through pot shots and got a late stoppage. Who you got?

    Trinidad would not have pot shotted, he would have came forward and looked to knock floyds head off.

    I'm not sure on this fight at all, its one i see as pretty much 50/50, floyd is the sort of fighter at his best that would have beaten tito pretty easily, however floyd best was when he was at 130 and he was just not as good at 147.

    If floyd sat on the ropes like he had a tendancy to do at 147 i can't see him winning, tito would take him, if however floyd can keep on the move use his jab more than he usually did, land his straight right as often as possible and not let tito get going i think he could win

    If you put a gun to my head i'd choice floyd but with no certainty

    If Floyd gets caught by a few of those left hooks than its good night...Floyd UD..Floyd moves around to much and might catch Tito with something...Tito was knocked down alot cuz of his chin...

    Tito in general was knocked down because of his balance, he had a decent chin, i cannot see floyd knocking him out

    Floyd takes away all of Trinidad's weapons and then outboxes him ... even though Trinidad was a damn good boxer in his hay ... but he's not on the level of PBF (boxing wise) on his best day.

    UD PBF

    trinidad by KO, floyd has no buisness being in the ring with him, trinidads bombs will find there mark and bust him up floyds never been hit by a kosha welterweight with power, its easy to forget how Trinidad KO'd fools with Chins made of stone floyds no exception

    Titos chin was crap...Vargas knocked him down a few times...and Floyd would catch Tito off balance at least 1 time...Floyd is a master counter puncher and would find that counter 1 time...

    :patsch:patsch:patschVargas knocked him down once and it was due to trinidad's balance not his chin, he was straight up after the shot, Vargas is also a much bigger fighter and bigger puncher than floyd

    Good fight. If PBF can potshot he can win, only thing is Trinidad had great timing and was alot longer and taller than Floyd, and unlike Corrales, Trinidad knew how to use a jab.

    It was once, but it was because Vargas landed a perfect left hook, it hurt Tito, hence the reason Tito immediately went for the balls.

    He's also twice as slow as Floyd..Floyd would tag Tito all day long

    Wow, to say PBF sucks and is gay, he sure does find himself constantly getting matched up against the greatest fighters in the history of the sport.

    It was a good shot definetly, it possible stunned tito but i didn't think he was particuarly hurt, and he was off balance when it landed

    Mayweather might well win every round, Tito was often clueless against boxer/movers.
