Comments Thread For: Trinidad Feels He Would Have Beaten Mayweather

[LouIE G]

Based on what De La Hoya did Tito LOL? What did he do? Lose a close fight that is very debatable (that I thought De La Hoya won)...and run the last four rounds?

Floyd doesn't have De La Hoya's power you do realize that right? Don't you think that was a factor in making Tito not be reckless with pressure against Oscar?

Why do people use triangle theories always to Floyd's benefit but with anyone else..it doesn't matter? When people bring up how Pacquiao dominated all common opponents of Floyd besides Marquez..that doesn't matter..but Floyd gets the triangle theory comparisons in his favor?

Floyd hasn't fought anybody @ 47' besides a washed up Mosley...Marquez who cheated at the scales and Hatton who was too small and who was overhyped and dominated by Pac in two rounds..

You act like Floyd has this great resume at 47' who did he beat around 06 that was so great @ 47? Judah-Baldomir-Hatton? Come on let's be serious here...

you are trying to hard to convince someone who dont care what you think, point is tito had problems with fighters who move and are quicker, theres no secret there.... but why do you keep bringing up pac...? Make points about both tito and floyd if you want, but it makes no sense to keep bringing up pac!!

Floyd'sE=hitking;14647719]Doesn't that maParnell certainly look bad that a oldoverhead.out Sweet Pea gave him a helluva fight? Plus, Floyd was a better offensive fighter than sweet Pea, hit harder, and wasn't far behind defensively. If he was behind at all.

No that doesn't make him look bad, and pernell certainly didn't fight like a cokehead. He fought like a 35 yr old atg vet who was a stylistic nightmare for trinidad. Oscar didn't whoop that version of Whitaker. Trinidad handed Whitaker his first real loss imo.

Floyd problem would be the same as Whitaker's. He'd have to get inside to do any kind of hurtful work on tito, and I just don't see him being successful.[/QUOTE]

If you held my feet to the fire I'd pick Tito. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Floyd beat him 12-0. Its a toss up fight. Which is what I said in my original post.

Tito was 5"11 too big] for may!! Tito sraight ritel n leftbhook to body be too much 4 scary floyd!! Tito fought everybody when they was somebody!! Floyd fought beaten n busted up fighters!!

Hasnt fighters like pac, mayweather, cotto, floyd, mosely, toney ,jones, tyson, rahman, martinez among others prove that bigger isnt always better?? Prime example of people saying size matters was cotto vs martinez, and who won that fight? OkAy . Then

[BHopp]

Still gave trinidad a hell of a test. Just based on that i say he can get floyd.

You're joking. Trinidad beat Whitaker up. Whitaker had like 2 good rounds.

That is not a helluva test

If floyd had whitewashed a guy like paul Williams, who had height and reach and was decent, then I would fancy his chances against a natural welterweight the likes of Trinidad. Trinidad is levels above anybody floyd beat at 147. Judah, baldymere, Ortiz, hatton? Come on. They weren't even natural welters.

[metalslug]

Tito was great and had a "punchers chance", but lets be real. His skill level was not on Floyd's level. He didn't beat any elite WW EITHER, and got out boxed by Oscar. He also was getting worked and out boxed by "THE GREAT" David Reid, and Fernando Vargas before resorting to hitting both with low blows. He might have beat him but i doubt it.

Did you actually see those fights? Vargas was done after one, Reid was put down 8 times, and ODH ran after a very good left hook landed early\mid fight. Geezz

Floyd would need power to keep Tito from coming in, a respect punch which he does not now or had then. So countering a 25 year old Tito would do very little to discourage him from going forward. Oscar gave him some problems, but he was in his dead prime, a non prime Oscar gave Floyd issues, so what does that say? If we are looking at common opponents.

Chico Corrales is as tall or taller than Tito and hit like a f.uckin' mule.

It was a good stiff test for him that he passed. point blank.

You're kinda missing the point bubba. You're using that fight as s measuring stick for Floyd-Tito and a primed Floyd is worlds better than the Sweet Pea that Tito fought.

Yeah but Corrales is not tito lets face it. plus corrales didnt use his jab he was a tall version of a typical come forward floyd opponent.
