Trinidad in 170 is not one of the best and Pavlik too; a like this fight for this years what u think people?
You know, if Tito can get in shape and get some good quality sparring in, and get to about 75 to 90% of what he was he can beat Pavlik. Pav is big and tough but has a alot of limitations.
Tito is powerless at 166. Pavlik would be noticeably bigger than him. Tito has little defense himself. Pavlik would just walk him down and Tito would be in his targets all fight long.
Even in his prime, I don't think Trinidad carried the power to 160 to be a serious one-punch KO threat. Sure Pavlik's come-forward style would suit Trinidad but Tito's chin is nothing to write home about.
Pavlik would beat Trinidad, probably by ko. The Trinidad who fought Jones looked like he had something left and would hold his own but would be too old, small, and one dimensional himself. With two guys coming straight at each other the younger,bigger, stronger guy is hard to bet against. This would be a great fight for Pavlik and while I think it is highly unlikely we'd see it, I guess it is a possibility.
At anything north of 160 Pavlik by Close UD or late round stoppage. Trinidad should have never went above 154 years ago, if he had staid between 147 - 154 he had the potential to retire undefeated.
