I can't say exactly how this fight would unfold because I haven't seen enough of Tito's fights. But assume Duran's in top shape, he'd win. I'm very confident of that.

Roberto the Great, IMO, was one of history's very best fighters. On his very best night, maybe he was even the greatest of all time.

I think Duran has too much in his game for Trinidad. Even though Tito is the bigger, stronger guy in this fight I think Duran's all around skill wins the day here.

It's not out of the question that Tito could detonate a left hook on Duran's chin and put him out, but I think if he doesn't Duran outboxes him and outhustles him, and my guess would be that he doesn't.

Roberto Duran by knockout. Felix "Tito" Trinidad would be perfect for Duran. Duran loves those guys that come forward and trade with him. Tito was never in Duran's class to begin with. I think that Tito was vastly overrated.

As a matter of fact, I don't think that Tito would have beaten Iran "The Blade" Barkley.

Duran of the Barkley fight would wear Tito down with jabs and heavy body punches before he puts him away with a big right hand in 11 rounds.

IMO, Duran of the Hagler fight beats Trinidad from the Joppy fight.

I think that the Duran of the Robbie Sims fight beats any version of Tito at 160lbs.

Sims also beats Tito in my view.

Duran by UD. The welterweight Montreal version destroys him.
