    I think Tito eventually breaks him down, or at the very least, put enough hurt in him to win a clear decision

    Canelo would lose because of the ring

    I don’t see Tito knocking him out although he’s very capable of hurting Alvarez. Alvarez can take a good punch so even Tito would have to hit him often to get it done. In the process of trying to knockout Alvarez who’s really not there to be hit all that often..Alvarez would be hit Tito too and certainly punches hard enough to drop Trinidad.

    I see a distance fight, close decision

    This clown will make a case for Canelo over every great in order to prop up his lover.

    Canelo loses to Trinidad. Maybe he lasts the distance, but he loses, as Trinidad was plain and simple a better fighter.

    I’m thinking Trinidad should win but it depends on the type of fight they have. In a war I’d go with Tito without hesitation...but if Canelo decides to use his legs and fight a cagey fight then I may favour him. Either way I think it goes the distance.

    Trinidad via wide UD. But if Canelo stands in there the way he did with Golovkin???...

    I see Tito really doing som serious damage late in the fight as Canelo tires.

    Trinidad hits harder than GGG but he’s less resilient...bear that in mind.

    At 160lb? Dunno about that: stopping Joppy (shit), Cherifi (shit) and Mayorga (shit) are massively different to even putting a dent in Canelo.
    Canelo takes this fight over 12rds.

    It's so funny how many people shit on the Joppy performance in retrospect.

    Going into that, NOBODY expected Tito to destroy Joppy the way he did.

    I can assure that Canelo would have had a tough time with Joppy.

    I don't think Tito knocks Alvarez out, not even sure he wins.

    Can’t say I see any evidence of any give in Trinidad. If anything, he would be more likely to let his hands go on a tiring Canelo than Golovkin was. Tito wouldn’t tire either the way Gennady did.

    Even at 160.

    David Reed (the guy with only one good eye) gave Tito pure hell until the late rounds. You really don’t see Canelo potentially improving upon that? Trinidad has been dropped by many guys that don’t hit as hard as Canelo and while Trinidad has a great offensive brain (he was very good at switching up his attack) he didn’t have the best defensive brain or the ability to adapt when things weren’t going his way. So let’s not overrate him please. I’m a huge Tito fan but I know his limitations.

    Nah, I don’t actually.

    Reid had decent hand speed and good movement. Better movement than Canelo. He also was harder to hit than Canelo who is actually quite stiff in there. Trinidad would have an easier time finding the target on Canelo than he did Reid. Canelo has a better chin than Reid, but he gets hit too much to win these, even if he’s on his bike.

    Canelo is a much better mover than Reid. I never thought I'd have to defend a guy I really don't care for this much, but GGG in 24 rounds couldn't really nail him with significant combinations. He's not an easy guy to pin down. Honestly, I would pick him over Tito.

    Reid would have given Canelo a tough time. It took Tito 6 rounds to find his range on him. I think Canelo wins a close, controversial decision against Reid. The hand speed and athleticism of Reid would have created a lot of difficulty similar to how Lara did in a fight Canelo did NOT win imo.

    If anything, the two Golovkin fights confirmed to me with no doubts that’s Canelo gets his shit pushed in by Tito. If Canelo goes 12 with Tito, that would be a true testament to his chin because he would take serious punishment in that fight.

    I agree. If Canelo tries to box and counter like the first GGG fight he probably lets Trinidad gather momentum and gets over whelmed and run over. If he stands his ground like the second fight he probably either gets hurt and pushed back or falls apart in the later rounds.

    Canelo’s sharp counters are a danger but he basically has to stop Trinidad in the first 6 or 7 rounds or build such a huge lead that he just has to survive the last few rounds.

    That’s like saying Canelo is a much better mover than Lara. Canelo moves well for a mid range counter puncher but he’s not a mover. He was basically outboxed by a slower, plodding, aging pressure fighter in the first GGG fight because he couldn’t sustain offense while he moved and defended.

    Let the Canelo overrating...

    Prime Trinidad did NOT lose against stationary targets.

    I’m not so sure Canelo beats Reid, let alone stops him. Trinidad didn’t even stop Reid.

    He’s a good fighter, but Trinidad is simply a better fighter, and that’s why he’d win.
