    Trinidad: 5′ 11″ (180cm) / 72½″ (184cm)
    Mayweather Jr: 5′ 8″ (173cm) / 72″ (183cm)

    Maybe this could do down to a) Trinidad´s hand-wraps or b) Mayweather´s shoulders

    Floyd would look tiny next to a prime Tito.

    bottom line is, trinidad is a very different animal than any of the guys pbf faced at 147.

    And Mayweather´s the best defensive, smartest fighter with faster-handspeed anyone Trinidad faced.

    This is definately not a Trinidad blow-out. He only lights-up guys who exchange.

    pbf's hands not faster than odh's when tito faced him.

    who said it is a blow out? i think pbf goes in a shell and probably loses a decision actually.

    I think this would boil down to how well Floyd takes Trinidad power... He's gonna get hit... And when he does, he's not gonna handle it well, IMO... His clinching and spoiling tactics would not work against Trinidad. He'd have to be on his bike for 12 rounds in this one to avoid being KO'd, and excessive running will make you lose rounds.

    Trinidad via UD but if Floyd gets too fresh, he gets stopped.

    Tito is an overrated middleweight, a somewhat over-rated lightmiddle but a formidable welterweight. There is absolute no-one in Floyd's 147 campaign you would pick to do anything bar lose, by stoppage, to Tito. Or, to put it another way, there is no-one on Floyd's CV at 147 who is even remotely close to a prime Tito. Nothing remotely close.

    Floyd may win. P4P he's a better fighter and he has the tools to win. But if Tito hits him like a near shot Mosely did early doors, it's game over. Gun to head, I'd pick Trinidad by stoppage in a pick-em.

    Tito by KO.
    Tito had prime DLH running for his life, & PBF has not got the chin/ toughness, size, strength or heart to survive 12 against 147lb Trinidad.
