    Prime De La Hoya and Trinidad in today's WW division?

    Will Floyd and Manny had just stayed at 140 pound range? I also felt that as popular as floyd and manny are, a prime oscar and a prime Trinidad might actually save boxing right now. De la hoya got the looks, the personality, Trinidad got the flash and that fan pleasing appeal. They were really good boxers but even bigger marketable stars. I also see Floyd ducking both of them, there is no way in Hell a WW manny is more dangerous then a WW Tito or Oscar during their primes. Manny might actually move up to WW and get knocked the **** out though.

    I think they both beat Trinidad. I don't think he could find either one of them - but he would force them to have to really put on a performance to keep him at bay.

    Oscar probably had a better shot with Mayweather than Pacquiao to be honest. I don't think any version of Oscar could keep up with Pacquiao's speed and stamina nor his unorthodox attack. Mayweather presents a more orthodox style for Oscar to utilize his jab and range against but it's not like he couldn't lose that fight as well.

    Ortiz/Berto/etc. wouldn't have a hope in hell.

      Tito would had wald down, both fighters!!

      Manny gets KTFO, with May is a 50/50. Floyd would had to pitch a perfect game and not get hit.

      Against Oscar the stamina factor comes to the equation, but againts tito it doesnt cuz Tito had better stamina than both!!

        I think a prime 147 Trinidad stops just about anybody, in this crop.

        Pac included. And badly.

          Prime ODLH and Trinidad both stop Manny.

          And id probably favour prime Oscar to win a UD over Floyd, Trinidad probably losing a UD both would have been Mayweathers toughest opponents by far so who knows what could happen.

            IMO Oscar would have beat both, he had decent power and speed in his prime. His chin is solid too.

            Tito again is solid and had a lot of power. That power would scare both of them.

            Maywether had the best chance to beat both, but IMO he would lose.

            PAC loses to both. The best version of PAC is cotto to me and PAC would get caught for sure.

            May and PAC are small ww's.

              Pac Man would have never moved up because he would not been able to fight them at a CATCH WEIGHT...just saying. Not hating.

              Mayweather would have given Tito problems but i'm not sure if would have even moved up in weight to face them at their height. I would give him the benefit and just say he would UD tito. Vs DLH I'm not sure, probably UD for Oscar.

                  I don't know if either of them beat Mayweather to be honest. Pac is a tiny WW and wouldn't last against either one but Mayweather hasn't even been seriously hurt in his career. He's the best defensive fighter of all time IMO, right there with the greats.

                  He's almost un-hittable, the way he moves, covers up and you never really see him get hit flush. I mean we can all count the times he's been hit in his entire career, that's amazing when you realize he's been fighting as a pro for so long.

                  I don't know if he beats Oscar of Trinidad but I don't see them KO him. Oscar because of his superior boxing would have a better chance, Trinidad would be looking for the KO and chasing him IMO.

                  Oscar and Trinidad in todays WW division wouldn't be competitive. They would murder everyone.
