People stop saying Floyd would beat Tito

[milmascaras1]

mayweather jr. would have made tito trinidad look like an amateur. all trinidad had was power but with very little boxing skills.

hahaha says the guy who thinks Margarito will beat Pacquiao hahaha

[THE THIRD MAN]

Oscar put on a clinic against Trinidad and outboxed him clearly and IMO won 117-111, Trinidad was outclassed and all people remember are the last 3 rounds. PBF beats Trinidad by a wide UD anytime. Trinidad was good, just not that good!

in addition, de la hoya looked for a rematch with trinidad but tito wouldn't have none of it because he knew he got a gift decision.

[El Kabong]

Well I will say Tito could take any beating Floyd could dish out, I can't say the same for Floyd. I do think Floyd would avoid danger and thoroughly outbox Tito but there would always be that danger of Floyd getting caught....although if Tito didn't catch him early the odds would be heavily against him.

although DLH clearly beat Tito, he wanted the rematch yet when it came to negotiating he wanted it to be 70/30 in his favor, pretty retarded when the guy already holds a win over you on paper, and especially if you wanted redemption, it's as much DLH's fault as it is Trinidad's that the rematch never happened, and it's as much DLH's fault that he wasn't given the win that night as it is the judges

I definitely dont think it is a forgone conclusion Floyd wins, Floyd has the skills and Tito had the power. Floyd was stunned by Judah and Corley, imagine Tito. Would be a good fight.....

The safe bet would be Floyd UD but you never know......

agreed, and although i think Floyd would have won by UD Trinidad wasn't as limited technically as some are making it out to be, he was no Whitaker or Leonard, but he wasn't as one dimensional as Kelly Pavlik either

Floyd hasn't faced anything close to the rounded power and game of a prime Tito when talking 147 let alone 154 where Trinidad proved he could carry his game.Floyd had his unofficial 154 debut against a manufactured welter in JMM...thats it.147...Hatton?JudahI'll spot ya Mosley who btw shook Mayweather to his heels badly with a clean shot in the 2nd round.You think if Trinidad lands a clean left or right off that tall stature of equal measure he could not capitalize much more efficiently?Tito could be boxed and Mayweather has all the assets indeed.Sharp enough to drop him but I see Trinidad getting up smiling as he was known to do.Tito was an entirely different animal than a lightweight Corrales,or the previously mentioned.

I'm glad YOU posted this, 'cause I realize coming from me it wouldn't sound very objective (haha). It's all about weight, IMO. Welterweight is by no means Floyd's prime weight, whereas that's where Tito made his mark. He moved quite easily to 154, also. People concentrate on Tito's losses, but forget the speed of his power punches and the vast array of shots he could unload at any time. Tito in his prime took care of more than his share of previously undefeated fighters... and he attacked equally well to the head and body. You're also correct about the knockdowns. Tito had a penchant for getting up from those and shifting into a different gear, much to the dismay of his opponents.

Yes, Floyd is an all-time great... but in no way should be automatically be placed over Tito at 147 or 154.

...in boxing anything is possible. One of the great things about the sport. Bradley beat witter and with all the knowledge out there no one saw that coming.

[Master]

Tito was a beast at welter and he beat very good fighters like Campus and Oba carr who were undefeated fighters. I think by the time he fought ODH, he may have been tight at the weight. Before Floyd beat Shane I would have said Tito wins easy, but after that performance I have to give him credit and he could possibly live with Tito, but one mistake and he would be knocked out. Tito broke down opponents and most were negative because they could not handle the power. I say Tito by decision.

[ICB]

My opinion hasn't changed in 3 years or so, Floyd Mayweather Jr by UD. Felix Trinidad did beat some good fighters, but overall his limited ability to adjust. Would be his downfall, but i don't think he would be blown away.

Just the sheer size and physical presence of Felix Trinidad, would give Floyd Mayweather Jr stylistic and mental problems.

Thanks god you are not a judge at boxing matches. Really, the fight with Oscar was very, very close, and for me it could be called a draw. However, I see lack of objectivity when I see posts indicating that Tito only won the last 3 ronds (an believe me I saw this fight a lot of times trying to remain objective). In several rounds Tito chased Chicken De La Hoya for almost 2.5 minutes connecting punches 1 at a time during the marathon, then at the closing Chicken stopped and used his superior speed trying to impress and still the rounds. The problem I see is that rounds are of 3 minutes not 30 seconds. With Floyd it could be a great fight or another expensive PPV marathon, but we will never know.

And, I agree Tito was not good... He was GREAT!!!!!!!!! Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito...

De La Hoya ran for the last 3 rounds only, he pretty much won 5 of the first 7 rounds then won rounds 8 and 9, then got on his bike and rode it through 10,11, and 12, it was a clear win for DLH, at the very least it should have been 115-113 DLH, Tito would have been lucky to get a draw, this fight is no different than Sturm/DLH
