Tito Trinidad would have murdered Floyd, lol at people thinking Floyd would dominate Trinidad.
Felix Trinidad would have beaten Floyd at 154 easily.

At the top level when has weight been the deciding factor? What did Canelo weigh in ring against Floyd? Would Canelo beat Tito? Trust me I love Tito, he's a family favourite. I saw the fight of the millennium, he couldn't drop Oscar. Everyone's punch output plus connect percentage goes down against Floyd, so the odds of that sweet KO go down. Weight and size is a good excuse for amateurs, just not for top level pros. Floyd beat ODLH better that Tito did. People said ODLH was too big. Oh he was also too big for Pac.Comment

Size wise, Floyd Mayweather is a true 140lbs. He use to walk around in the early 150lbs? But I think 147lbs was just easier for him to make. Barely any weight cut at 147lbs. He's a small guy. 154lbs has never been his weight. It's stretching it for Floyd. For those who think weight doesn't matter, you obviously have never sparred or fought inside of a boxing ring. Weight divisions exist for a reason.Comment

But to be on topic. I just feel Floyd so good he gets compared to so many guys. This guy would've done this to him, that guy would've done that to him. It's never ending. Floyd's a small guy who's able to beat some 154lbs, that's awesome.Comment

As good as Mayweather is I agree that Trinidad. would beat him and most other 154 pounder in history. !54 was Trinidad's perfect fighting weight. He was a champion at 20 years old and won over 20 title fight in a row before losing to Hopkins at age 30. He wasn't quite a full middleweight although he could punch like a light heavyweight. He power came from speed and leverage and not illegal hand wraps. He was never quite as good after Hopkins KOed him but he was still very good. Winky Wright beat him easily after the Hopkins loss at 160. Winky Wright had a very tough style for anyone to deal with.In fairness to Mayweather he is not a big welterweight and certainly not a 154 pounder. At 147 I think Mayweather is very hard to beat as history has shown.Comment

Well it's too bad we will never know these mythical matchups. Tito is my second fav fighter next to Morales. So I'd root for him against Floyd even if I wouldn't bet against floyd. Still I love the support for Tito, proves he's a fan favourite. I have trouble with the word "Prime" though. What's that even mean? On their very best day? So wouldn't the opponent be allowed to be compared on their very best day? How long did Tysons "Prime" last? Floyd was better at 35 than ODLH was at 35? Holyfield beat up a younger Tyson. I so love Tito and he was great for being trained by his father eating whoppers in his hammock, but he had a lot of garbage in his technique.Comment

Comedy thread. Tito got made to look foolish by Oscar and struggled to land any meaningful punches against him, and you seriously think he would beat the greatest defensive boxer of all time? You're tripping or letting your hate for Mayweather get in the way of common sense. I love Trinidad but it would be Mayweather-Mosley all over again. A power puncher against a complete virtuoso.Comment
