Prime Trinidad vs Prime Mosley who wins?

[Shogunofharlem1]

I'd pick the 2000 version of Shane at 147. Tito had that big time power, but so did Mosley. The difference IMO is the chin. Tito was shaky early in fights & has been dropped by mediocre punchers. Mosley was far from a mediocre puncher. Plus Mosley remained strong. So I believe that Mosley would have started fast, dropped Tito early, while Tito would try his best to play catchup, but Mosley would hold the lead & win by UD.

I could see this happening.

I do not believe Mosley would have been able to deal with the power or pressure of Tito at that time. He had a very hard time with Forrest's length and height. Mosley isnt hard to hit and would have had numerous left hooks and right hands landed on him.

I mean Mosley didnt even believe in his own power which is why he needed to take steroids to match the bigger guys.

Oscar running the last 5 rounds is laying the blueprint? Why didnt Oscar rematch Tito if he already had the blueprint? lol Gimme a break, this dude wanted no part of Tito again. Thats an easy payday for Oscar right? Naw...he went for Derrell Coley instead.

When has Mosley gave anyone a boxing lesson? Are you serious?

Remember Tito dominated Pernell Whitaker. So how in the hell could Mosley have outboxed Tito?

tito dominated an old sweat P ... stop it....

Its Common knowledge that oscar schooled him. I dont even like oscar... he was just playing it safe because tito had that power, and oscar respected it. but that doesnt mean he should have won.

Shane CAN box.. he just doesnt display it often, he obviously did better against winky,why you ask?? because he has boxing skills..
Some people just look at boxing as 2 guys punching eachother and dont understand what they're watching.

Lets get 1 thing clear right now, Forrest was a far better technical fighter & more fundamentaly sound that Tito, period. That's a horrible comparison. Tito isn't hard to hit either & angles bothered him greatly. Plus his shaky chin isn't helping anything. Tito wasn't doing anything better than a prime Oscar did to Mosley.

Mosley don't like a good jab. If you decent/good jabber with good boxing skillz, he in trouble. I say Tito wins KO at 14th rd in a 15th rd bout. I am using 15th rd bout since this is fantasy match up.

Prime Tito and prime Shane fought in two different weight classes. At 147 it's pretty hard to pick against Tito.

On the other hand, if Shane could go 12 rounds, he might have enough speed to put Tito on the Tito on the floor a few times and win a decision. Then again, when Tito got kd it meant lights out when he got back up.

That was a rule you had to follow with Tito.

Hit him hard enough to respect you, but God have mercy on your soul if you knocked him down. He'd get up pissed!

I think Tito would've beaten Shane at 147. Oscar was a better boxer than Mosley.
Mosley was a lightweight who carried his speed and SOME of his power to welterweight.

Trinidad was a welterweight knocking guys out at JR. Middleweight...and was apocalyptic puncher at welterweight. Forget about being stunned, buzzed, or hurt...if Tito connected a counter flush left hook on 90% of welterweights, they were fast asleep.

Trinidad over Mosley. Shame it never happened.

It depends on what you think gives you a bigger advantage. illegal wraps or steroids.

Tito wasn't a slouch technically, but your point is well taken that he was easier to hit than forrest. Against mosley, forrest used the clinch to stop mosley from landing punches once he got inside. Trinidad, for the most part wasn't a safety first fighter, and I don't recall him ever using that sort of strategy. His aggression, in my opinion, would've been his downfall in this fight.

Its a GREAT fight! Of all the dream fights u could put together for me this would one of the very highest on the list. I could easiuly make a case for Mosley winning - KO or points.....Buuuut imma say Tito Trinidad with his left hook and right hand power and that extra range he had.

If Forest dropped Shane who i rate very highly in the chin department then Felix could to and Tito unlike Viper was one of the if not the greatest finisher in the game, he at his WW best, didnt neglect the body - in fact way to many people sleep on Trinidad's body work he was a great body puncher. He'd go up, go down back up and then Knock you out

Mosley had great speed and lets be clear a GREAT chance at winning but Tito would IMO time him and tagg him, Mosley wasnt as face first back then and had excellent reflexes but was still very aggressive and no Willy Pep, Trinidad KO win, possible UD. I can see Tito taking his seemingly obligatory count though, Shane could crack like hell and had the speed to get the shots home
