    I think he was great. Lower-tier great, but great all the same. Fun as hell to watch, too, which never hurts.

    i'm drunk and yelled "he sucks ****!" to which my wife gave the stink-eye

    tito is an easy HOFer and an all time great welterweight imo. his climb to 160 was amazing and he really only lost to elite fighters. he had a weakness: top level movers or technicians. other than that, you were getting knocked the **** out

    joppy was the top (imo) 160 pounder of the day: look what happened. he was one of the greatest finishers in the past 30 years

    Felix Trinidad was an ATG, a scary opponent.

    He was a great puncher. He was no boxer.

    Fun to watch. Clueless against Hopkins, Wright and Jones.

    Oscar lost to every truly elite fighter he fought, usually by a shut out (perhaps not on dodgy Judge's cards though).

    If you are beat soundly by him then you have issues.
