Could Trinidad had conquered today's 147-154 Divisions?

It's actually quite entertaining imagining a Tito in there against Cotto instead of Austin Trout..Cotto would probably have died.

Some thing people don't take much into account is that at welter Tito was huge, I think he was 6 ft, which is insane with crazy power and good reach. He'd demolish that list and Maywheather would've been the toughest stylistically but if he fights like he did against Cotto he'd get wrecked, if he boxes it'd be 50-50 simply because of size. At 154 he'd be good but not with the size advantage.

Titowould have the most problems with Angulo, Kirkland & maybe Thurman. Everyone else recieves the business.

The only guy who probably beats him is Floyd. Just styles wise... Lara would pose a stylistic threat but as he's mostly unproven no way I give him the nod over Tito. Pac, Ortiz, Guerrero, etc are all highlight reel KOs waiting to happen. Canelo and the bigger guys stand a better chance if they could handle the power...but I could see Trout and Canelo with his no head movement get put down too...JMM would be KOd with a left hook since he seems to love eating those...

Its funny....I remember Tito as a puncher who was exciting and like a lot of other Rican fighters....indoctrinated with skills into the game. This is the guy who went life and death with Nando? who did not exactly dominate Oscar. I don't think he dominates....although it is true that the division was a lot stronger back then.

Oh and no...he does not dominate Marquez no way no how! Marquez is way too good technically and shows that he can deal with punchers by dismantling Pac

Tito beats all of today's 147-160.

Win MD/SD vs Floyd (unless robbery)
Win UD/TKO vs Trout
Win UD/TKO vs Pac (Pac would have ducked Tito at WW though)
Win UD vs Canelo
Win UD/TKO vs Guerrero
Win TKO vs Cotto
Win KO vs Martinez
Win UD/RTD vs Golovkin
Win UD vs Pirog
Win UD vs JCC Jr
Win KO vs Khan
Win TKO/KO vs Maidana
Win UD/TKO vs Alexander
Win UD/TKO vs Marquez (that's what I think)

List goes on..

People have forgotten how great Tito was at 147, I think he was teh second best ww since Leonard/Hearns, the first being DLH.

Your list of possible opponents

Floyd
JMM
Pac
Canelo
Bradley
Lara
Trout
Cotto
Guerrero.
Ortiz
Pauli

Tito straight up knocks out most of the guys on that list, he'd probably inflict the first KO loss of JMM's career and batter Bradley.

Floyd, Pac, Trout and Lara provide better resistance. Pac himself hits hard and would cause some serious hurt for Tito but he probably wins. Floyd is very good defensively but I think he doesn't have the size to trouble Tito and loses too. Trout and Lara for me would put up the most resistance but again I can't see Tito losing those.

I think Canelo has enough power to give Tito more problems and puts together decent combos but chalk up another one for Felix.

Things would get more interesting at MW where he was a prety average sized MW but he still carried the power. I think Martinez would KO him though and Chavez would be a very physical and draining affair. 50/50.

Golovkin v Tito could be the most fan friendly but I'm not sure how good GGG is, especially his chin but I've seen Tito take punches from Roy Jones so even though the possibility of a KO is there I think Tito pulls out a decision.

Is that with or without his special hand wrapping?
