mosley-tito at 147..prime for prime

[wichito_one]

At 147 Tito would K.O Shane. Tito at 147 had great power with both hands not only was his left hook amazing but he had that right hand that he would swing like he was pitching a baseball. Shane was good at 147 but not the best fighter and after the Oscar win did'nt do much as a champion. Tito even though ppl talk about having a shaky chin was never K.O'd at 147 and possesed great recovery ability how many ppl did he K.O after him being down? Almost all of em. Shane was (is) a boxer puncher always has been and he would eventually trade with Tito and Tito would catch him.

[Story]

Tito by KO. A couple left hooks seal the deal.

Mosley would win in an all out war

Don't judge Shane from how he looked against Pacquiao/Floyd

Mosley can take shots much better than Tito ever could. You all seem to be under the illusion that because Shane would stand and trade he'd get KO'd. Mosley can hurt Trinidad more than Trinidad could hurt him. Power Boxing would suit Mosley against a fighter like Tito


For those picking Tito by KO - Let me tell you something about Shane's chin. He's been down 3 times as a PRO/AMATEUR. Over 2 decades:

- Dropped twice in round 2 against Vernon Forrest. And this happened seconds after a major headbutt (Mosley got cut)

- Dropped once against Pacquiao. 10/1 underdog, widely expected to get KO'd. Shane is a completely shot 40 year old now, and he still got up from the KD and ended the fight on his feet. He was never on ***** street

- NEVER KO'd, and has fought as high as 154. Has fought lots of ELITE fighters: DLH(x2), Vargas(x2), Pacquiao, Mayweather, Mayorga, Forrest(x2), Cotto, Margarito, Winky(x2)


You think Trinidad could have taken flush right hands from Mosley like Margo did (till he caved in after 9 rounds)? Really? Shane in his prime had no problems with fighters who were willing to engage

Disclaimer: No offence to Trinidad fans

at 147 mosley by late ko

Great fight, would've been a classic slug fest. But I think Tito's size and power would've made it look a lot like the Forrest fights.

Great fight, would've been a classic slug fest. But I think Tito's size and power would've made it look a lot like the Forrest fights.

I'm not sure Tito has the jab and overall skill set that Forrest had to make it look as easy as Vernon did.

I can't see Tito having a relatively easy time like Forrest did.

[r3robinson]

Tito wins but as usual starts slow. Mosely has no jab and Trinidad would pepper him with the 1,2,3 like how he did Vargas. Mosely struggles with bigger fighter. He did against mayorga who isnt world class and Tito is about the same size. Tito by ud or late stoppage. Mosely would get on his horse and ride the night away again.

[TintaBoricua]

Did Mosley ever fight a big puncher as Trinidad? I don't think so. Trinidad wasn't an ordinary ****er, he was the type of guy who could leave you flat-out KO'd with a single punch (Julian Jackson-type punches).

Mosley at 135 was like Tito at 147. At 135, Mosley RULED. Can't say the same for him at 147. He was still an exceptional fighter with handspeed and power, but Trinidad had an edge in power. That's unquestionable.

Trinidad, though having an upright stance, had good defense where he'd bob and slip punches and come back with his own. Mosley was believed to be a boxer, but I think the "Sugar" moniker had many people following Mosley fooled. He was great at getting into exchanges and landing his own punches and he looks terrific when set up against people who come towards him.

Trinidad would be the stalker, but he has better defense, a better chin, and more power than most opponents who follow Mosley around.

Now that I wrote all that, it would have been an interesting scrap.

I think I'm with IronDanHamza on this one, the fight is a close one while giving Trinidad the slight edge.

Trinidad by decision.

[Toby 1991]

Well, both were powerful, but Mosley had much quicker hands and a better chin. Therefore, I'd go with Mosley by either KO or easy UD.
