DLH - Trinidad... "Whos is better all time" ?

Oscar is better all time i believe.

 

Quartey and Whitaker have better claims at "outclassing", or even beating Oscar, then Trinidad does.

 

He did more in that weight class than Tito right? :deal Trinidad isn't ranked above Oscar on many lists, so that's a false statement.

 

So what were the other 8 rounds? Was he afraid then? Or was he just beating Trinidad's ass despite his fear?

 

That's what he did @ 130. Win a WBO belt and fight there twice. At 135, he beat IBF champ Ruelas (after winning the vacant WBO belt), and some of the top 130 lb. fighters moving up. At 140 he beat the faded linear champ in Chavez (ducking Randall for a decade) and former 135 lb. champ Gonzalez.

 

Not by most people's accounts.

 

Nope. I meant what I said. Like I just told you....being obsessed as much as you are with DLH, you can't talk about others being obsessed with him.

 

Yah yah....he outlanded Trinidad signifigantly in those rounds AND in the fight. So lets not throw out that BS shall we?

 

Trinidad demolished people. He lost 1 fight in his prime and honestly I don't think Trinidad could ever lose a slug match in his prime only outboxed and he was by amuch bigger man. Oscar shoulda lost about 6-7 fights. No one talks about Sturm.. Everyone talks about Tito's lost to hopkins/winky(who cares about the winky fight).. Oscar got his ass beat by Sturm. Tito beat peoples ass hard and he beat them when they were in their prime or undefeated or were in their 'moment' of greatness. I think its sad that Tito never got to fight Quartey or Terry Norris..If he would have KO'd them the F out Maybe then he would have gotten his due credit. I think he would have killed those two. I know Quartey was a fight that they were thinking about going after, not sure if Don King wanted Trinidad to roll over Terry Norris one of his own fighters.

 

This post isn't about what happened in the Trinidad vs Oscar fight its about how they performed throughout their career. And honestly right before the Hopkins fight Tito had an aura of invinsibility something that Oscar never possessed. Hopkins obviously killed that view but many people were riding on the Trinidad bandwagon and then jumped the **** off when he lost. 40-0 before hopkins, A prime Tito at 147/154 would never lose a slug match.

 

When you ask about DLH-Tito and their greatness, this is intertwined.

And Trindad was never viewed as invincible after that DLH fight. Most certainly knew he was beatable after that.

 

Trinidad for sure. DLH lost every major challange he undertook. He beat Vargas and Mayorga only after Tito destroyed them. Quartey was very questionable for DLH and Sturm even more so.
Trinidad never played it safe and kept moving up, I remember him at Welter Weight saying he was moving up to beat RJJ and no one took him seriously. After he beat Joppy and was set to fight Hopkins it was assumed he would win and fight Jones next, no one thought it was laughable anymore. He moved up seeking challenges until he met him limits.

 

You lost me there. Most in the boxing world still thought it was suicide for Trinidad to fight Jones even if he beat Hopkins. He may have been looking for challeges, and thats cool.

 

You got pics? If not....:nono

 

Tito.
