Mosley V.S. Trinidad

[eddog2]

Trinidad a Great for the Ages

There is no way Mosley beats a heavier Trinidad. Even a lighter Trinidad would take care of Mosley. I loved Sugar Shane a few years ago but the way he has fought in his last few fights has not been impressive. Trinidad is developing into on of boxing great fighters. After he took a well deserved and much needed retirement he came out and showed the world that he could be even better then before he left. I think an element of

Trinidad's package that will make him a better fighter in the future is that he is understanding that throwing body shots actually wears down an opponent. Much like the executioner Trinidad will start to use those body shots on more of his opponents. Trinidad drops bombs when he punches and taking a few too many of those to the body will open up the head for some major TKO's.

Its going to be a great fight with Winky but I think that Trinidad will win for the reason state above. Also in the Mayorga fight Trinidad displayed some much needed improvement in his footwork.

I feel, that if Winky dropped his hands and let Mosley unload on him like he did.

There is no way in hell Tito will hurt him in their fight.
Winky will have no respect for Trinidad.

If mosley landed some of the punches on Tito, that he did Wright,

goodnight.

I just want to know if your comparing moselys power to titos?

Mosley is nothing special at 147 much less 154. The weight is just too much for him. Tito would beat Mosley. Mosley has wide punches when he throws more than one shot and that will leave many opportunities for Tito to land the jab followed by the righthand and then the lefthook won't be too far. Mosley does have a pretty good chin but he will just take too many punches and will be stopped late.

Remember how Winky's ears were flapping when Mosley was hitting...that was funny stuff.

Anyway, to get back on subject, Mosley would outbox Trinidad until he gets caught. My prediction is that Trinidad will TKO him, but I don't think he can knock-out Mosley, and I don't think Mosley would be destroyed...Mosley would hold his own in that fight.

And on a side-note, why would Mosley go after Trinidad, anyway, there are alot of potentially easier fights for him at 147, and he has a chance to rule that division. As far as people saying, "Because Trinidad brings money to the table." Well so does De La Hoya, and last I heard both are going to be fight at 147lbs. (Mosley is just obssessed with De La Hoya, but that's another thread.)

Doesn't matter cause the fight will never happen at 154, tito has said he will never go down in weight again.

Cortes (twice)
Stephens
Campas
Carr
Lueshing
Vargas
Hopkins

all knocked Trinidad down.

Mosley hits a tad bit harder:

than everyone on that list times FIVE

I wouldn't say Mosley hits harder than Vargas maybe not even Hopkins. All those fighters with the expection of Hopkins he has got back up and knock them out.

Yeah, but with the exception of Hopkins, Trindad rose from the canvas to brutally knock all of them out. However, in a matchup between Mosley and Trinidad, Tito will have a significant advantage in size. Mosley, whose natural weight class is well below 160 or 154, has been on the decline as of late. Like i stated previously, he no longer throws punches in bunches. He basically loads up on a single punch, hoping it knocks his opponents out.

To tell you the truth, Mosley was never that hard of a hitter. Sure, he could hurt you (especially at 135), but almost all of his knockouts were a result of accumulation or combinations. Unfortunately, he doesn't throw combos anymore and his one-punch power at 147 and above is only slightly above average.

Tito is a harder puncher.

Mosley landed free shots on Winky though. And a lot of them.
Trinidad will not get the chance, to land serious shots because he will get outboxed.

And on another note, both Mosley and Trinidad's power looked "average" in comparison when fighting DLH. I think Mosley could knock Mayorga out, in the same time Tito did, at middleweight.

Mosley could not knock out Mayorga at 147, 154 or 160.
And DLH-Mosley was a completely different fight from
DLH-Trinidad. DLH boxed trinidad and fought mosley more. If DLH fought trinidad the way he fought Mosley there would be no confusion of would did or did not win the fight cuz he would have got ko'ed.

you may be right except for with vargas and hopkins i wouldnt agree with those two

Shane had wanted to fight Trinidad last year. That did not work out. Suppose they fight at 154 pounds, who would win? Supposing Mosley gets past Estrada.

I personally think Mosley's speed will give Tito problems, being able to counter any straight punches Tito throws. I believe Tito hits harder, however that will not be a factor. Shane has a granite chin, and tremendous heart.

Tito's chin is suspect however, I think giving shane a couple of chances to drop bombs.

I also feel as though Winky will beat tito when they fight, hopefully; the winner can face

That Robot

don't kid man, niether mosley or winky has the strenght and heart to stand infront of Tito.
