You mean you didn't like the legendary Forrest-Mora fights, and Stinks-Karzamin?

If I could have 3 boxers back it would be Prime Roy Jones, Prime Tito Trinidad and Prime Mike Tyson

I agree with that maybe change roy to a sugar ray robinson to see how he would do in this era

[gambleer]

Very impressive resume.

THERE IS NO DEBATE ABOUT TITO

Well said. There's zero room for questioning Tito's resume or willingness to take on the best.

Robinson, Leonard, Gavilan, Napoles, Burley, Armstrong, Griffith, Walcott, Rodriguez, and Basilio should be above him for what they did at welter. Their resumes are clearly superior. H2H I'd probably favor them all over Tito except Armstrong because of the size difference, he has a good shot at Basilio too but I would not favor him.

Then there is Hearns, Walker, Britton, and a few others that could be argued over Tito when taking into account accomplishments and H2H.

I never try and match all boxers up on a list. That doesn't make sense. But if you look at it in a generational sense then lists do make sense. Tito was probably number one or number two welterweight of his generation. The number depends on whether you place him above hoya or below. But either way he's one of the ATG's of his generation.

Tito is my favorite fighter of all time. He never backed down from any one and until after the Mayorga fight ALWAYS put on a show.

[Scar]

Tito always went for the best, a true great fighter.

Man I will miss Tito I really hope those days could comeback. A fighter that never ducked anybody and always went for the best out there regardless of the risk. Sadly that that trend is disappearing in today's fighters.

Sadly those days can't comeback. I'm still waiting for someone even remotely close to Tito to arrive on the scene. Something tells me I'll be waiting a long time. Those were the days of the boxer puncher. The world split between Tito's left hook and Oscar's left hook.
