    De la Hoya for me.

    He should have won their fight.

    Oscar fought and beat better fighters in 3 years than Trinidad did in 9 years. There was a period from like 94-99 when he fought cab driver after cab driver :patsch

    Oh yeah, and he clowned Tito in their fight.

    De la hoya smoked tito in their fight could have and should have knocked him out. With that said he deserved to lose.

    Considering De La Hoya fought much better opposition at Welterweight than Trinidad did, beat them, and tooled Trinidad himself when they actually fought, Oscar.

    Well lets see. Tito was a Welter Weight for 9 years, and a champion for 6 years there. During his time as a WW titlist, Pernell Whitaker and Ike Quartey were also titlists. Tito never fought them while they reigned.

    Oscar De La Hoya comes from 130, 135, 140, and in his first fight at WW fights P4P#1 WW Champ Whitaker, then fights Quartey, then Schools Trinidad himself, and fights Mosley.], not mentioning other top fighters he mpped the floor with and in less than half the time Tito was there.

    Not very hard to figure this one out.

    ODLH was a better all around fighter than Tito Trinidad. Bad and foolish strategy by his corner led to a bad decision in their fight. Oscar was the better fighter.

    Watching it in black and white, with no commentary, hanging upside down, eating my dessert before my dinner, I gave Tito 1, 4, 10, 11 and 12.

    De La Hoya proved his superiority over Trinidad IMO, but he's not a clear league above or anything like that. Regardless, my answer is Oscar.
