what if: Trinidad vs. Tszyu @ 140 & 147?

[Jim Jeffries]

He sure didn't KO Oscar or Sweet Pea.

Well, had EITHER of those two fighters been KO'd before they fought Tito?

He was responding to a post that said "Tito KO's everybody at 147".

I think it's reasonable to say that Tito wins at Welter because he had all the size advantages and he at least threw some combinations back then, however, I think I'll still go with Tszyu at either weight. Tito knocks out most guys at welter, but I think Tszyu was a lot sturdier and skilled than most guys, so I think he could have pulled out a competitive boxing match. As dangerous a puncher as Tito was, I think Tszyu was far more intelligent and versatile inside the ring, so I'm guessing he could outbox Tito for a close decision. Sure, Cool Vince put the hurt on Tszyu, so Tito could obviously have done the same, but I would still pick Tszyu.

That was a good post. I'd pick Tszyu at both weights too. But, at 140 in his prime, Tszyu absolutely ruled. No way I bet against Tszyu at 140.

Not even against Aaron Pryor?
