Probably, but I see all the others I listed in that post soundly beating Tito with realtive ease. Against Basilio, he has at least a shot at a stoppage on cuts (unlike Napoles who while easy to cut would be much slicker than Basilio) Trinidad was the same level of puncher as DeMarco, who had Basilio out on his feet and badly hurt, although of course Carmen came back and stopped him. I favor Basilio for sure, but he has at least a decent chance of a win in that fight unlike the others IMO.
should have lost to DLH, Reid and campos were never that good..Camacho was basically shot when they fought..no signature win @147..fearsome puncher and fine fighter, was outboxed in most of his big fights.
No, not top 10. Why wasn't he fighting McGirt, Lopez, Page, Rivera, Whitaker (when he was P4P), Quartey, or Forrest? Missed WAY too many fights from 94-99 for serious discussion. Beating up the Stephenson's of the world.
I loved how he'd skip into the ring, smiling, loving life and then proceeding to knock fighters the hell out.
You're sounding like a ******* with all of your exclamation points. Oscar fought better competition in 3 years at welterweight than Trinidad did a decade. And Oscar isn't even close to being in the discussion for top 10 at welter. Tito has - Campas, Camacho, Carr, Whitaker, Pineda, Blocker Delahoya has - Mosley, Quartey, Whitaker, Camacho, Rivera, Chavez, Carr :bart
Nobody forgets about Tito, his achievements at WW including a much clearer win against Pernell, against Hoye even though every reasonable person has to say it was controversial but nobody told Oscar to back away and box in the Championship rounds, but how could anyone forget the tears in the eyes of Tito after his unforgetable war with Vargas in the post fight presser when he was under Don King. Only Hopkins stopped his rise and he still came back to win another thriller with a stronger than ever Mayorga at 160 and Cheriff but most unfortunatelly for him and for shane Mosley, those two guys who beat Hoya lost the chance to fight for the WBC-WBA-IBF SWW titles and both were upset by Winky Wright, specially tito who basically said goodbye back then. His fight with RJJ doesn't mean anything and I'm glad he stood up until the end and on offense. I simply laugh when people talk about Cotto and JuanMa Lopez and completely disregard guys like Tito, Wifred Benitez, Carlos Ortiz and Hector Camacho Sr, even Esteban De Jesus knocked down Duran in two fights in the very first round and haded to him his first loss.
