I am not diminishing his other attributes, but his other attributes are not advantages over Mayweather as he also has superb conditioning and even more championship experience.
Don't ask a question and then not like the answer you receive.

I think Floyd takes it. Trinidad always had problems with buys who moved and moved. Floyd's movement and defense would give Trinidad fits.

why not do prime for prime......2007 Floyd vs 2000 Tito

Floyd was fighting full time at 147 by 2006.....The oldest version of mayweather should be 2009 vs Marquez or 2007 Mayweather not a 35 year old version

If you want to compare the two, compare the Mayweather from 2007 who beat De la Hoya and Hatton at welterweight in the same year to the Trinidad who beat Oscar in 1999.
SUGAR RAY LENRD:
I totally agree so let's compare...Mayweather fought a much older version of Delahoya (actually 8 yrs older than when he fought Tito). And Mayweather stood & traded w/Oscar. Where as we know that Oscar who is much bigger than Floyd, did not stood there & trade w/Tito. And yes, Tito did have trouble with boxers that stick & moved...but those were bigger boxers example Oscar, Hopkins & Roy Jones. Tito was just too big of a welterwgt. Oscar was able to survive Tito's onslaught by sticking & moving....Do you think a smaller Welter like floxd would've been able to? Remember Tito was underfeated just like Floyd was at Welter, and if you want to throw in Oscar's disputed desicion, then I can throw in Maidana's diputed desicion...and what have we?

Hopkins beat him to the punch, moved away, or tied him up.
Floyd fights that way. Always.
