2012 Mayweather vs 2000 Felix Trinidad: Who would win?

[creekrat77]

It's a toss up. We all know Trinidad can be outboxed but he generally does great with smaller opponent's. I also think Floyd would be able to handle his power. That being said it's still would be Floyd's hardest fight he has ever fought besides 2009 Pacquiao

The Hopkins that did that to Tito was a middlewgt, Floyd is a small welterwgt, so mayweather might be able to beat Tito to the punch but it won't be easy to move away from a guy who has longer reach & no way in hell Floyd will be able to tied Tito up the way Hopkins was able to do. Smaller Welters that Stick & move had trouble trying to do that to Tito, like Whitaker & Obar Carr. plesase see how they didn't have success trying to tied Tito up, he was just too big & strong...

Great point! Thanks!

Trinidad heavily relied on guys engaging him, it is why him getting dropped early in a whole host of fights worked out for him because it drew them into the fight he wanted.

A guy who won't oblige him at all would be problematic because he wasn't great at chasing guys down, he excelled at the fire fight. Floyd wouldn't be drawn into a fire fight most likely with a boxer puncher like Trinidad.

If Trinidad can make Floyd fight then he can obviously win, but that is much easier said than done.

Tough fight but I'd put my money on Mayweather.
