ATG: Who Ranks Higher? Erik Morales or Tito Trinidad?

Hey, didn't one of these guys fight Pacquiao?

 

I think Erik Morales landmark victories over great, prime opposition in Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera are better than that of anything on Trinidad's resume. They're both 3 divisional champions, who exercised a similar level of longevity. Erik would have the edge in longevity too, I feel.

 

Wasnt he no4 after he beat Manny but quickly moved down after he lost to Raheem?

 

Most likely, I'm almost certain Asero referred to Boxrec for his annual ratings.

Care to answer the thread question mate?

 

close, maybe morales because he got the 3 fights with barrera and 1 with pac

 

Ive Tito by a couple of spots...but I wont argue with someone that sees it the other way.

Probably because Im a fan of Tito I lean towards him.

 

Morales.

 

Trinidad granted a lot of fighters their first losses. DLH, and Vargas comes to mind. Plus he was exciting to watch. I think Hopkins was afraid to grant him a rematch. That really messed with his mind. Dont know about their ATGreatness, but I liked tito over Morales

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

granted luis ramon campas, and oba carr their first loss as well

I dont think so

 

Thats why he retired the first time, cause Hopkins wouldnt grant him a rematch. Tito would call him out, and get denied. He went 12 hard rounds with Hopkins. Hopkins had to fight an absolute perfect fight in order to beat tito. Its not like he lost like that ***** DLH, he was deserving of an immediate rematch. I dont think Hopkins had it in him to duplicate that performance once again.

 

Tito's ko power carried into middle weight and hopkins knew this. Why else you think Joppy only lasted 4 rounds with Tito, and Hopkins had to decision him?
