      I picked Tito just because I'd like to see him vs Mayweather. But seeing Marvin Hagler beat up Martinez and Chavez Jr would be fun to watch too (especially Chavez Jr lol)

        Hagler wasn't much more exciting than Trinidad to me, if at all.

        Hagler had two great fights with Hearns and Mugabi, and some other good ones with Briscoe and Leonard. Trinidad had one great one with Vargas and several good ones with Reid, Mayorga, Carr, Campas.

        Hagler had some explosive highlight reel KOs against Hamani, Lee, Hamsho 2, Obelmejias 2. Trinidad had the same against Garcia, Blocker, Zulu, nice bodyshot KOs of Barnes, Pineda, Pendleton.

        The main difference between the two is that we got to see more clinics with Hagler than you did with Trinidad. Hagler absolutely jabbing and schooling the hell out of guys like Sibson and Hamsho (first fight) and slowly breaking them down. Trinidad, although his skills get undersold at times, was not nearly as skilled or versatile as Hagler.

            What about Vito ANtefurmo 1? or alan minter when the crowd littered the stadium with trash cause Marvin beat his english ass down?

            If you love boxing, its an easy decision. Tito is a great boxer but he in no way is on Hagler's level.

              The Minter fight was a short brutal beating. Sort of like Trinidad beating the crap out of Thiam.

              The first Antufermo fight was alright.

              Hagler was unquestionably the better fighter but I don't see this huge difference in excitement. They both were involved in great fights with two way action, and good ones as well. They both had highlight reel knockouts. Since Trinidad didn't have the chin or defense of Hagler, he got knocked down a lot, which added to the entertainment factor.

              Only big difference is that we got to see clinics from Hagler that we didn't see from Tito, because he wasn't nearly as skilled as Marvin.

                I agree with you on that. Not sure the current Floyd has the movement against prime Trinidad. Floyd 2-3 years ago boxes prime Tito's ears off though.

                  Styles makes fights, a prime tito at 147 -vs- any version of PBF at 147..wouldnt end well for PBF. Tito's stamina and power would take its toll on Floyd..

                      floyd isn't the power puncher that de la hoya, or hopkins was, and felix cound counter decent, especially with that left hook, so i don't think he would not mind getting hit by two, to get in one...and one is all he would need...
