    If your looking solely at a win resume convince me Tito has a better win resume (I'm sure like me you had Delahoya beating Tito and Hopkins beating Calzaghe - although that 1 was more universally closer), so subtract those and focus on the wins column. So for wins we have:

    Eubank - Vargas
    Kessler - Carr
    Jones - Whitaker
    Reid - Joppy
    Mitchell - Campas
    Brewer - Blocker

    There is **** all between those names and if your honest you'll admit it. Only 1 fighter between these 2 have been dominated. As a Brit you know Calzaghe was protected well Trinidad was protected by King until he was put in with DLH (for money) and until he was put in with bouts he was favoured in until Hopkins (for promotional rights). If Trinidad was put in with Prime versions of Whitaker, Quartey, DLH, Winky, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation right now

    As for legacy, outside of the DLH robbery was Tito ever ring champ or the best in a division because he didnt face Winky at 154. Calzaghe was Ring Champ in 2 divisions!!!

    IMO Calzaghe has never faced an A class boxer in their prime.

    Kessler wasnt A class, Jeff Lacy wasnt A Class.

    Eubank, Hopkins and Jones Jr were not in their primes.

    Trinidad at least fought some A class boxers in their primes which is commendable.

    Agreed with this, but Trinidad didn't beat an A Class in their prime either

    A Wise man told me don't argue with fools...

    Tito is almost at 80%. For ESB that's outstanding. you already have your answer. Can't convince eveyone.

    A lot of people think that way huh? I sort of understand it but it's not my thinking I support a fighter for his personality or his style of boxing not because he's british.

    I'm British and I'm voting Tito, Calzaghe could have been better but he just didn't prove it. Tito did prove his greatness.

    Your lack of respect for fighters and their standings are enough to keep me laughing. You have your opinion already... reasoning, common sense and objectivity won't help you at this point.

    I asked you how many A Class prime fighters Tito faced yet no answer? So you agree Tito hasn't beat 1 elite fighter, agreed :hi: Vargas is good, but not A Class anymore than Kessler
