Basilio by decision. One of the few Welterweights that could stand in front of Trinidad and beat him. Carmen's iron chin and underrated head movement keep Tito off balance. The fight goes inside where Carmen has the advantage. Trinidad would get his respect though. PS This fight almost happened in the early 1990s. At the IBHOF. Trinidad had a room full of people loud and partying. Carmen Basilio had the room right under them. He got mad he went to the door to get a piece of whoever answered. Tito answered the door. Carmen cussed him out but if he was 30 years younger? Anyone else this would be unlikely but Carmen Basilio was different
Carmen beat Sugar Ray Robinson....so, it was at Middleweight,.. He beats Tito by a close but popular decision.
