By Gerardo Granados: This fight was signed with no catch weight involved, both boxers agreed to fight at a limit 147 pounds to unify the IBF and WBO welterweight belts, and it will take place at the new Yankee Stadium in New York. From San Juan Puerto Rico Felix “Tito” Trinidad one of the greatest boxers that have came out of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico and from General Santos City Philippines the man that paralyzes a nation when he fights Congressman Manny Pacman Pacquiao.

Tito was one of the most dominating welterweights of this era, and also his charisma transcended frontiers. Pacman perhaps is as brave and courageous as Duran was, we all know his aggressive style, and that his defense is not close to perfection but still he is very effective.

Now, I don’t think Manny would stand a chance against Hearns be cause he is too small to fight such big welterweight as the Hitman, it would be useless to ask who do you pick between this two, so I choose Trinidad be cause it would be more fair to the Pacman´s size, but it wouldn’t be an easy fight for him at all.
