    I know this list would never be an excact science and most are a matter of opinion but tito Trinidad ahead of Calzaghe, Barrera, Morales? even the likes of Tszyu and Mosley were better imo...

    If you look back since 1998 Tito is EASILY in the top 5 in
    1. Quality of opposition
    2. Memorable performances
    3. Accomplishment (3 Division, 2 Division double champ 154 and 147)

    His highlight reel, against Quality opposition is legendary when you look back at a 10 year stretch. I got Calzaghe in there as his work can't be denied now....He better be careful, Bernard is VERYcrafty:good
