Unfair comparison with Tito really 147 is Tito's first weight class and 147 is one of the later of Floyds and is reasonablly small at 147. Tito would be too much for Floyd at 147.
Chavez at 140? Meh, good clash of styles, I'd lean on Floyd head to head. But obviously, Chavez is MILES greater than Floyd at 140 and Tito is significantly greater than Floyd at 147.
Toy with Trinidad? yeah ok. Baldomir is the biggest WW Floyd has ever fought yet he's going to toy with and even bigger and infinitely better fighter in Tito?
Tito will be the biggest and best fighter Floyd ever faced.
Let me get this straight from the haters. Floyd beats both of those guys is the common answer. He loses to any great fighter from the 80's? Pacquiao crushes him? He feared Margarito? SRL knocks him out and Hearns knocks him out? Duran embarasses him? Mosley doesnt count as a legit win even though Pac's now fighting him? He dodged Cotto? Khan stands a chance against him? Pep had better defense? Hatton wasnt any good until Pac fought him? De la Hoya at 147 is a bigger win than Hoya at 154? Beating Marquez is being a bully? Oscar beats a much smaller Gatti and it masterful? floyd moves up beats Gatti and its a shame even though Gatti's a champ? He calls out a prime Mosley and he cant fight because his tooth hurts for I guess the next year? Hes koed 60% (which is about the ratio for most ATG's)of his challengers but yet he's classified as a runner? Does that about cover it? All of this cant be true for one person.
Tito's no bum but he is the 2nd most overrated boxer of his era behind Naseem Hamed. He is a product of De la Hoyas hollywood star power and nothing more. He looked worse than Oscar did against Bhop and Hopkins isnt even a big puncher. I cant get why he's on a pedistal and half the posters can put JMM on the back burner for ATG's.
Not really, didn't Tito fight Pernell BEFORE he fought DLH and Pernell gave DLH a much better fight.
Styles make fights, a cliche but very true.
Pernell scored a BS knock down vs DLH which was actually a trip but Trinidad knocked Pernell down twice.
Trinidad decided to use his strength and size vs Whitaker, while instead DLH decided to stand outside and out box him, basically playing into Whitakers strengths.
