    Camacho, Campas, Carr, Whitaker, Delahoya

    Pretty sad for a guy who spent more than a decade at the weight when Mosley, Brown, Quartey, Rivera, Lopez and McGirt were all there fighting each other.

    Oscar's resume against Whitaker, Rivera, Carr, Quartey are better than Trinidad's 35 wins at that weight. Let's not forget, he was taught a boxing lesson by Oscar as well. This was only in 3 years at the weight.

    It's kinda true, Trinidad's opposition from 1995-98 was very disappointing. I think he at one point sued Don King in the mid 90s to get out of the contract so he could face Whitaker.

    Trinidad eventually got the big fights, but some of his prime years were wasted away fighting overmatched opponents, thanks in very large part to King.

    DLH fought Carr after Tito raped him. Oscar arguably lost against Whitaker and Tito had no problem whatsoever with him, both Tito and Oscar fought an old Whitaker the difference is that Oscar had no idea what to do with him.

    And Tito would have ****ed the men that you listed with the obvious missing fight in his career being Mosley.

    Your a joke.

    Maybe he would have, but we'll never know. Quartey and Mosley gave Oscar a MUCH tougher time than Trinidad did, I think that says a lot.

    Trinidad raped Carr? Wasn't Trinidad on his ass in that one? :huh

    Trinidad finally faced Whitaker 2 years later after Delahoya beat him, and Whitaker had been in rehab most of the time for the Trinidad fight, He was well faded.

    Yup, it's pretty obvious that most of these fans weren't REALLY big boxing fans in the 90s.

    Thats why everyone was so worried for Trinidad leading to the Oscar fight, this was his first big fight against a great contemporary, whereas Delahoya had already fought Whitaker and Quartey. Oscar made it look like that for Trinidad as well the way he outboxed him so badly.

    Oscar's is faster and Tito's is harder. What do you like speed or power?
