    Trinidad. Tito was the better Welterweight. One of the best of all time at 154. And had a better stint at Middleweight than DLH.

    DLH....we cannot forget what he did at 130-140, and I think he was a better WW than Tito whom I think he beat. Tito was better in the larger weight classes.

    Tito, but it's close.

    Tito got smacked by Hopkins and Wright, both lb4lb greats. DLH got smacked by Hopkins as well, and "lost" to Felix Sturm, as well as Mosley and Mayweather.

    Tito crushed Vargas while Nando was still undefeated, and pumbled Mayorga before anyone even buzzed him before....Oscar beat those two as well, but AFTER tito got them.

    Tito also ruined fighters like David Reid and others.

    Head to Head, DLH was outclassing Tito for the first 8 rounds, but ***** running didn't help his reputation after that.....still, I give Oscar the nod here.

    Oscar is better P4P.

    Better resume, beat the best (including Trinidad and Mosley). Only lost clearly to a big middleweight when he was past it and he went toe to toe against the so called number P4P (he even beat him in my eyes).

    No, it is not even close. De La Hoya is the best fighter.

    For me, it's Oscar. He beat Tito head to head, in my opinion, and more importantly he had the versatility to defeat different types of opponents, while Tito not only lost but got outclassed and wasn't even competitive against Hopkins and Wright.

    Tito simply because he beat a lot of fighters who were either Undefeated or "in their moment" of greatness and ruined boxing careers. Oscar was great and this is a close call but honestly Oscar lost most of his meaningful fights. I don't think much about Tito vs Wright because Tito was way past his time. And at 147/154 Trinidad just seemed indestructable - especially at 154lbs. He went into deep waters at 160lbs. I just think taking both careers in their primes,Tito just had more going for him than DLH did. I don't use Oscar vs Tito as ameasuring stick at all in deciding who was the better over all because look what goes around comes around...Oscar had extremely close fights with Whitaker and Quartey. I think he beat Quartey but lost with Whitaker and he definetly lost against Sturm. For the most part when Tito won he won hard and when he lost he lost hard.

    This fight come up all the time and every time the responses are pretty evenly split. Based on that I think that you can make an argument for either guy and they are about even.

    He clearly lost twice against SSM and Wasn't close against Floyd. DLH's strategy of flurrying at the end of every round instead of fighting for 3 minutes of every round has hurt him all his career, i never gave him credit for it and the same with many judges at least in his case they got it right.

    Trinidad for me. Trinidad beat Hoya in his prime, and Trinidad won his big fights alot more convincingly that DLH did. Hopkins was the only guy to beat a prime Trinidad IMO Trinidad was still a good fighter when Winky beat him but he wasnt the Tito of old.
