tito got schooled by oscar. if tito fought floyd, it would even more one sided. no chance of a robbery in that one.
Trinidad would have whoop Mayweather

At 147 Tito was KO'in everything put in front of him...He was have eventually caught Pretty Boy with the big one...He only lost to one great boxer..B Hop is a good boxer that was bigger and strong..Tito had a suspect chin, he also had the rock solid hands to back it up...Comment

he also lost to winky wright. tito was a devastating puncher but I just dont think he'd have been able to land cleanly on mayweather who you know would be fighting a very defensive minded fight. if he did land it would be lights out as mayweather isnt used to taking big shots but I just dont think he'd be able to get to floyd
One great boxer & one good fighter...Comment

Not really. Early in his career he was a slow starter who picked up the pace later on, so his style could be described as stubtle. Also, his D was pretty decent, and he came back from Knock Downs many times to eventually KO the opponent. In the Oscar, Winky, and B-Hop fights he was anything but multifaceted, but in all others he showed good boxing skills as well as power, and didn't look for the one punch KO all the time.
I disagree on tito's D being pretty decent,but I would settle decent.
As for the boxing skills, I do not think he actually HAD that many skills, but if he trained and evolved with a different mindset he would have IMPROVED his skills. I think a problem with tito was his timing was not great (btw an example of fighter which comes forward and has awesome timing is Castillo IMO) so he would have never got to have GREAT skills.Comment

what it comes down to me, is adapting to each other's styles. tito imo was good at adapting to his opponents style early in his career, but in his prime at 147, he was more of a stand in front, slugger. i mean, tito possessed amazing power, but he wasn't really angular when it came to using it well. floyd, is the best at adapting to his opponent's style and positioning his body where it needs to be to throw effective counterpunches and lead straights while still using tactical defense like he did with baldomir who possessed more power than floyd but was slower. tito was fast as hell at 147, but floyd was a smarter fighter, but then again, he only fought 3 times at that weight, so it's hard to judge really. though, floyd did fight judah who was a faster puncher than tito and floyd, and did give floyd some trouble in their fight. floyd, is an overall smarter fighter than tito, and would outbox tito. maybe, if tito swarmed floyd tremendously, he would have a good shot with his powerful bodyshots, but i don't believe he could do this for 12 rounds, so he'd have to knock floyd out, and that isn't easy for any fighter to do, seeing how floyd has the best defense in the sport, bar none. floyd would adapt to tito's style, in positioning his body to counter tito's power punches because imo that was tito's weakness, getting counterpunched by good punchers.
i see floyd ud tito and making him look a little sloppy, because when tito is down, he has tendencies to lose his composure, and when floyd is down in the fight on points, he finds a way to close the show and come up vitorious, which is why he is the smartest fighter in the sport imo, and why he would beat tito at 147.Comment

I would not qualify being a slow starter as subtlety lol, it is more of a limit.
