Comments Thread For: Trinidad Says in Prime He'd Beat Mayweather, Pacquiao

DLH outboxed Tito. Made him look lost and pretty bad until he got on his bike like a dummy. Imo Floyd would outbox Tito and win a UD. His size and power makes it interesting though of course.

To be honest, I think Tito would have lost to Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, and Canelo. Tito was too predictable. He had great power, but I'm not sure that would have been enough against today's version of the elite. These guys can take a punch and outbox you while doing it. I just don't see it.

Lmao . Your a joke. .you justbdont yet how watered down this era is. Canelo has always been overated.

no he doesn't Floyd would run and not throw enough punches. That wins for Chicken now a days, but back then it wouldn't. Tito would win on being the aggressr and making the fight.

Both could beat him boxing if they keep it a straight boxing match, both would lose if they stand in fronto of him. Wich is more likely? Can't really tell - Pacquiao loves to fight and Mayweather has a tendency to go straight back to the ropes and stay there.

Also, i keep laughing at idiots who think Pacquaio would simply brawl with him. People tend to forget how good Pacquiao is against guys that come at him. Pacquiao has excellent boxing ability along with his speed.

Pacquiao has better and quicker footwork than Floyd - Look how Cotto could pin Floyd up against the ropes and make him fight while he could never trap Pacquiao and his jab was never effective (Pacquiao would always counter it with a straight left, while Floyd has enormous trouble with Cotto's jab).

Different type of animal and I think I agree with Tito here, I also think a prime version of ODLH would beat Floyd and Pacquiao maybe not absolutely destroy them but he'd beat Floyd much easier and Pacquiao would be took through a war that he wouldn't want anything to do with.

Floyd and Pac both fought ODLH a guy who fought EVERYONE, every challenger been through tonnes of wars would fight from all sorts of weights they got a shop worn version of the man.

In his prime he lost and was completely schooled by Oscar. People stop trying to defend a bogus decision. Oscar gave away the last 3 and a half rounds because he was given bad advice from his corner. But that don't change the fact that after 8 rounds the discussion wasn't who was winning the fight. It was whether Oscar was pitting a shutout whether Trinidad even deserved a token round in his favor. That's how bad it was and despite Oscar giving away the final rounds the punch stats for the fight prove just how wide he dominated. Oscar landed 263 of 648 punches, while Trinidad went 166-of-462. Don King paid the judges off and Oscar was robbed. Oscar beat Trinidad and created the blue print for other skilled boxers to beat him. Trinidad knows he lost that fight and it's why despite the money he never gave Oscar a rematch.

Think about this during Oscar's era he was such a cash cow that every fighter within 20lbs of his weight class tried to fight him just like Mayweather today. But Trinidad turned down a rematch multiple times which would of been a career payday to avoid fighting him again because he had no chance of beating him. Plus lets not forget Trinidad ducked Whitaker until he was old, already beaten by Oscar and coming of retirement and drug issues. Mayweather as much as I dislike him would of easily outboxed him.

Real question is if Mayweather fought Oscar in his prime would he of won. First fight Oscar was old and nowhere near his prime and gave Mayweather many issues. A young Oscar with that jab and left hook would of outworked and beaten Mayweather. Mayweather would of been afraid to engage because of that big left hook and his output would of been low meanwhile Oscar would of just piled up points with that left jab and would not of faded or ran out of gas.

Mayweather is the only one that could've beat Tito in his prime, the rest get KO badly, Cotto, Pacquiao and Canelo!

Tito would be outclassed by Floyd. And the only reason he may beat Pac is because naturally, he's at least two divisions bigger. And that may not even be enough. Because he was chinny and Pac can crack.
