Trinidad murders him. No "great"fighter I ever read about disappointed me as much as McClarnin when I finally purchased films of him years ago.

Tito Trinidad may stop McLarnin in the late rounds after nailing him with big left hooks.

Mclarnan by decision. Trinidad struggled against talented boxers, and McLarnin was one. If McLarnin made the mistake of going toe to toe too much, Trinidad would have a chance.

I don't like Felix "Tito" Trinidad. I think that he and Oscar De La Hoya are the most overrated boxers in my lifetime.

But, in this fight, I would pick Tito by knockout in 5.
