Tito Trinidad vs Manny Pacquaio at 147

[IMDAZED]

It’s not in Pacquiao’s DNA to fight the way Oscar did against Tito. He would definitely try and get respect from his opponent.

Also, Pacquiao doesn’t have the same dimensions as Oscar so I’m not sure why people are using that fight as some sort of barometer. Especially since anyone who saw how many times Miguel Cotto tagged Manny would have to assume a far better fighter in Tito would do the same.

In his prime (he was weakening himself to make weight before Oscar), Trinidad was pretty quick, had good footwork and worked behind a steady, snapping jab. He’d size up your moves, before setting you up for the kill shot.

Pacquiao may have been fast but he was quite hittable. Over 12 rounds, Trinidad would have been too strong, too powerful, too composed and simply, too good. Trinidad KO 8.

Some of you guys are making it seem like it was difficult to hit Manny, Manny s defense was his offense, he kept people on guard by swarming them, that wouldn't work on Tito, his speed would give him problems sure, but Tito used to be a good boxer before he fell in love with his power, and for the people saying Oscar, Vargas outbox/hurt Tito, Manny was never a good boxer or had the power that Vargas had, Tito by KO.

Pacquiao by late TKO

Pac too fast. Tito would get hit with 5 punches before he knew what was going on.

[STREET CLEANER]

Look at Trinidad's record at 147 and 154. He lost when he went up in weight against the top of the division.

Trinidad had a lot of timing with power. Doubt that Pac would had sustain an attack knowing that the incoming was so hard and precise.

Trinidad's money punch was his left hook, but his right hand was no slouch by any means.

I think Tito struggles with Manny' s speed for a round or two, then get the timing down to get a tko victory by the 5th rd.

What do you guys think?

This fight here gives you an appreciation for manny's body of work at Welterweight. The guy is an overachiever 'cos frankly he has no business fighting above 135-140. Having said all of that, I think he holds his own against Tito for 6 rounds then Tito's physicality takes over. I 'll take Tito by late round stoppage but if he couldn't get to Pac then Pac likely wins a decision.

Tito was slower than Pacquiao, both with his punches and movement. But I see him using his height and reach advantage and a stiff jab to force Manny to lunge too far to launch attacks. He'll time one of them with his left hook and that would be the beginning of the end. Tito by KO in the 9th.

Triniwraps was nothing without his loaded gloves. De La Hoya and B hop exposed his ass

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Tito for sure. Manny would open up and Tito would be there. Manny might get a KD though but that's nothing exceptional against Tito.

Trinidad, Pac too small.
