Plus Trinidad walked right in to jabs, Floyds third favorite punch is the jab to the body, to open up the top and catch with you with right hands or quick left hooks. Trinidad was also opened for check left hooks with the way he comes forward all the time.

    IMO 34 year old DLH at 154 gave Floyd a tougher fight than a prime Trinidad would give Floyd at 147. Trinidad was the type to get frustrated if you're not right in front of him to tee off on you. Doesn't take a scientist to figure out Trinidad was at his best against come forward fighters, something Floyd is far from.
    This is how I see it going. Tito just wouldn't get the chance to land a big shot on Floyd. People remember Tito landing thunderous shots on Vargas and company, but Floyd would make it a different ball game completely, Trinidad would be like a caged animal never getting the chance to unleash the destruction he is capable of.

      I see Mayweather outboxing him, at times getting in close and avoidin' mid range. Tito does square up a lot, so we're gonna see Mayweather jabbin' to the mid section a lot, keeping Tito at bay. Mayweather isn't gonna do all that unnecessary movement Oscar did, only takes a few steps to offset Tito's offense, B-Hop showed this. I know Mayweather aint nearly as big as B-Hop but he's a tough dude, real tough. Oscar may have not landed a lot of those left hooks; when Mayweather was cornered, but Mayweather should have felt that power, and he wasn't one bit intimidated. Shit, he smiled through the whole thing and many guys would have folded from just that.

      One thing you can't take away from Tito was his great conditioning, he doesn't get tired at all and doesn't stop throwing. Plus he's two handed, he has a fully equiped offensive arsenal, so it aint like Mayweather is gonna easily slice through him. Just think Mayweather would win a U.D, but it's gonna be tough either way.


      Anyway, I would give a prime Oscar a better chance at beating Mayweather. Oscar was better equiped for someone like Floyd.
