    Even prime shane was made to order for trinidad IMO, he didn't have enough lateral movement to worry tito. He'd be in range to often, felix TKO's him late or UD

    Mayweather is the only one with a chance to take him

    tito always struggled against boxers, but if someone came to fight toe-toe then they would get KTFO. in this era of welterweight fighters i think he would be a very good fighter. however the likes of mayweather, mosley and williams are good enough to frustrate and box him, making sure that they keep their distance and don't get caught with the left hook. if he fought the mosley that fought cotto rather than the one here today then i think it would be a close fight, as mosley would come to fight, and the end result would depend on who could take the bigger punch. although cotto is more of a boxer today i don't think he has the ability to box someone for twelve rounds and tito would be able to get him to fight, once cotto has made that mistake then he has very little chance. the likes of quintana, berto, cintron, margarito and clottey would be taken care off with ease.

    if Shane manned up to fight Williams. He wouldn't be the champ.

    And if Felix beat Mosley and then fought Williams. He would lose.

    Felix always behind the champ.

    The only guy who has a halfway shot is Floyd.

    I agree with this for this reason; it says a lot that an old fighter from Hoya's and Tito's generation is the current top dog at welter.

    I know.

    If the Prime Felix fought Shane. Shane would lose.

    Then Felix would lose to Williams or Mayweather.

    True, everyone talks about Tito's left hook. In my opinion Tito's left hook was not as good as Oscar's. However, Tito's straight right was the most devastating straight right since Tommy Hearn's. Now, look at what Forrest did to Mosley with his right hand in their first fight, now imagine those shots coming from the hardest hitting welter in the past twenty years!
