mayweather vs trinidad

[jon09]

I think Floyd would have a field day with Tito the same way he beat Diego Corrales. Tito for all his power could be outboxed and made to look silly ie Winky Wright beat him with a jab and tight defense where Floyd has speed a laser jab when he uses it and can either stand in front of an opponent and make them miss or dance around them and pick them apart. Floyd by lopsided decision or late round mercy stoppage.

IMO no way does the much smaller Mayweather stop Trinidad, when the bigger stronger, DLH and Wright failed, hell it took Hopkins 12 rounds to do it, and Jones (who could've stopped him from the 6th round on), IMO Mayweather would either be able to avoid Trinidad's later round onslaught to win a decision, or he'd get stopped and badly beaten

Agreed Tito was a vicious puncher and Mayweather would not handle that power. He would run and try to survive hoping to catch Tito.

I doubt that. If we're talking the Mayweather at 147 he would beat Trinidad with Trinidad chasing him but not landing much and Mayweather pot shotting him. Trinidad would lose a one sided decision and then say that mayweather didnt' stand and fight and Mayweather would be panned by critics and fans alike that he ran to beat Trinidad when if they are intelligent they know that if Mayweather stood and traded he'd get KO'd. It is a loss that wouldn't harm Trinidad's career at all. But if Mayweather showed he could hurt Trinidad it could be a really long night. As people with Trinidad's style are something of custom made for Floyd. If we are talking the now Floyd at 147. Because back then at 126 even if he weighed 147 he wasn't as experienced as he is now.

yea, i could see Mayweather landing potshots and running the entire 12 rnds to win a decision, but if he couldn't hurt small guys like Judah and Marquez i doubt he'd be able to hurt Trinidad in any way

Don't know if he needs to hurt him but Mayweather has a knack for catching fighters with his speed even if he can't hurt them its a pucn they'll never see coming and I'm not sure Trinidad fought someone as quick as Mayweather. De La Hoya wasn't as fast or as defensively gifted and Trinidad seemed to go into a shell whenever De La Hoya boxed in flurries as he constantly had Trinidad's feet moving and Mayweather would do the same. Trinidad seemed like a "searcher" like he was always searching for The KO even when it wouldn't come. George Foreman said you can wait all day and then not have a title anymore, that fits Trinidad perfectly. Against Mayweather he would constantly be waiting for the shots that would stop him but he'd never get his feet planted to set them up or give them. Besides that Mayweather is good at avoiding left hooks.

Trinidad IMO was more of a took a while to get started type of fighter, but i agree, if Mayweather didn't let him get started he would probably cruise to a lopsided UD, but if he ever let up like he did DLH, i think it would probably come back to bite him in the ass, Trinidad didn't have someone as fast, but on that same note, Mayweather has never faced anyone as strong and accurate as Trinidad was at 147, i think it'd probably be a closer fight than many think, but i'd give a significant edge to Mayweather by points, just don't really see him ever stopping Tito

Different strokes different folks. If it goes into the late rounds then its all Mayweather I just hope that there would be no low blows to change the course of the fight =). Lets not forget an older Pernell Whitaker not including the knockdown had his moments with Tito. I just think that Floyd would be to smart and his speed would be too much for Tito to handle.

i'm not ruling out the possibility that Mayweather could beat Trinidad, but i honestly don't see how he could stop him, hell he didn't even stop Marquez, Tito took shots from the very much harder hitting Vargas, Campas, Joppy, etc.

[oakleyno1]

mayweather by late stoppage imo.

de la hoya gave felix fits and althought made mayweather work probably lost by a point or two. mayweather probably had another 2 gears to go up to as well.
imo he would confuse the hell out of trinidad worse than hopkins

I find it unbelievable that anyone can rate Mayweather at Welterweight. Floyd would have trouble with opponents Tito beat like Carr, Campus and prime ODH. Tito punched too hard and would be too big for Floyd. What is the best welter Floyd has fought? Judah? He is not in the same league as a welter. Below that weight yes, he is an excellent fighter but at welter he is not.
