    Does Trinidad weather the Curry storm here, or does he get out-boxed?

    Tito gets picked apart in all likelyhood. But I won't pretend that there's not a chance that he could eventually catch Curry and stretch him. Curry was better than DLH in every way, EXCEPT chin. In the DLH did, Tito got some flush left hooks in on Oscar, but DLH took them. If he catches Curry like that, probably doesn't end well for the homosexual.

    But most likely scenario is Curry outboxes Tito, and picks him apart with sharp counters.

    What if Tito catches Curry the same way McCallum did

    Any welterweight in history who DOESN'T have a great chin has the potential to go if Tito nailed them right.

    The problem for Trinidad would be actually landing that punch, considering Curry was a very good puncher himself, and by far the superior technician.

    Tito has a chance, but I think if it's McCrory version of Curry, that Tito gets picked apart and stopped late.

    I think Trinidad would catch him eventually, down on the cards and probably having been dropped himself. Curry was better than De La Hoya I agree, but he wasn't an on the toes mover, and I think pressure made him uncomfortable. I think Trinidad comes through with the come from behind KO in the late rounds.

    Curry carves him up at 147... At 154, he eventually gets knocked out

    I think even at 154 Curry wins IF we're talking about the pre-Honeyghan version. Curry was a BIG welterweight who was better suited for 154 anyway.

    Any version after Honeyghan gets KO'd by Tito.

    That may be true, I'm just going with the Curry who actually fought there... Still could punch and had a lot of skill but was less durable and appeared less confident

    This. Curry was a better Welter than Tito, but not a better Jr. Middle.
