I think Taylor would have won hands down… Way too big and just as strong as Tito, way better jab.. Perhaps you forget how badly Hopkins and DLH and Winky outboxed Tito.. WInky and Hopkins were just bigger too, he couldn’t handle Taylors size.
titi can be hit with the jab but hes got decent side to side movement but taylor is all wrong for tito, i think hed get koed by a simple 1-2 eventually
Would love to see this fight. It’s important to know that it would just be interesting to see big name fighters fight. Tito won’t be fighting too much longer so this erases the “I wonder how this guy would do against this guy” thoughts and gives us fans a chance to see tito show us if he has anything left!
I think that Trinidad would win, probably by a knockout (almost a certainty) unless Taylor has a better chin than I think he has. I pick Trinidad because he is the hrder puncher, as well as the guy throwing the shorter more compact punches. He would beat Taylor in about 8-9 rounds, I think, battering him badly in the infighting. In the first few rounds Taylor would try to fight at a distance but Trinidad would begin getting close as soon as he tried to, at least periodically and more regularly as rounds pass. By the 6th they’d be fighting up close all the time and Taylor gets his clock cleaned in that fight. If he kept to his preferred distance Taylor would still lose but maybe he’d hear the final bell.
Hopkins outboxed Trinidad handily and Wright kept him onm the end of his jab all night. That they did these things doesn’t mean that everyone can do them, and Taylor simply isn’t all that good. He does not have the unflappable calm of Wright, nor his nearly impossible to penetrate defense, and he is not a south paw. He doesn’t have the brains of Hopkins, his mobility, the same ability to throw short blows, nor does he have the mentality to stick to a fighjt plan like Hopkins did that night. Judging by the lunging awkward displays against Hopkins Taylor would end up going to Trinidad not keeping away.
ok say Hopkins got the nod.. my point is it was a close fight either way, Trinidad was a damn shutout both fights!! and Tito spent 10 years fighting as a Welterweight!! Taylor is a big Middleweight!!
I agree as far as skill goes Winky should out box/fox the young and still a little raw Jermain but I don’t believe it is their comparable skill level that will decide the outcome of this fight as I didn’t with Hopkins v Taylor. It is Taylors size, strenght and Jab that will win him this fight. ;D
Felix was so great as a welter, but jermain taylor is a big middleweight, it’s too much to expect the guy to be able to beat jermain. If this was Prime V Prime P4P then I think tito would win. Obviously that isn’t the case though. It seems recently people have taken a shine to jermain, now they have got over the b-hop fights. I still think taylor won both.
