If the slower, less skilled joto battered Tito until he gassed in the 9th the supreme athlete Pac with his prime speed and power would bust up and stop Trinidad
"Tito is too strong" this is true BUT it is also true that Manny is too fast for Tito, Oscar indirectly proved this.
Bottom line is I'd favor Tito only slightly. I think Pac beats him up but at some point Tito probably lands the hook. If Tito can't land it, his face is a bloody pulp after 12.
Pacman might get a knockdown early but Trinidad would do to Manny what Marquez did. Straight right down the middle. 147 was tito best weight class. Roy Jones stated that he felt old ass Tito's power when they fought at 170lbs. I doubt Manny will take it. Tito will win by ko
Underrating Tito here.. he lost to master boxers who were defensively responsible and were at least close in his size or bigger. Manny as great as he was, is too small and offensively minded, eventually Trinidad knocks his block off.
Pac beat Welterweights as big as Tito but I don't think he beat any welterweights better than Tito. Oscar was better but he was a dead man at that weight that night.
My head says Tito knocks him out, but then a part of me thinks Pac could do it. He's shocked me with his performances time again, is this fight really a bridge too far?
Tito's best shot is his left hook, he doesn't have a good right hand counter like JMM or Mayweather that Pac was vulnerable to. Tito wouldn't box him and counter like they did, he'd be right in front of him and he'd fight fire with fire and allow Pac to fight his kind of fight. Vargas dropped Tito with the left hand, so did Leushing, so did Cortes and so did Campos and we all know it's Pac's left that is the deadly weapon. Pac also moves in and out very well, could Tito get overwhelmed by Pac's speed, movement and rapid fire combo's like so many others, I wouldn't rule it out.
While Pac doesn't have the jab that Winky had, or the defensive boxing skills of BHop, maybe he has enough to beat Tito. I'd still favour the bigger Tito but don't think he has an easy night with Pac, he'll probably have to pick himself off the canvas early like he has so many times before and resort to some strategic low blows like he did vs Vargas to keep Pac off him when in trouble, but eventually his bigger punching, size and own relentless style will see him come out on top.
