1990's Welterweight Fab Four

Whitaker is clearly the greatest and best of the 4. At welterweight, it's between him and Oscar.

 

trinidad for me

 

:think Oscar.

 

Ike was really good but as you say Ike could have KO'ed Trinidad I also believe Trinidad could have a chance as well. Ike was strong at welter but so was Trinidad , he loved to go toe to toe and no one could ever brawl with him and have a better exchange IMO.

 

You were right about Carr mate, my mistake. I respect your opinion too. Although I have Tito 3rd, that doesn't mean I didn't think he was a ****ing brilliant fighter and a brilliant ww. I loved watching his superb punching at 147. His win over Vargas is one of my favourite fights, and I loved the win over Joppy, stunning!

 

For me, there's no way Quartey KO's Trinidad at 147. I actually think Tito's size, strength and jab would have allowed him to beat Ike more comfortably than Oscar did (which wasn't too comfortably at all!)

 

Whitaker is the greatest fighter but arguably Trinidad, and especially De la Hoya, have a better resume than him at 147.

 

Oscar... he beat all three.

 

True, we are talking welteweight here, not whole career spans which is why I choose Hoya. While Tito has a longer span at welterweight, Hoya is the only one who fought all three of the other contestants. He entered division later than Trinidad but fought everyone including Mosley who would make some noise in that division as well.
