Highest p4p: Julian Jackson or Trinidad?

the more i think about it the more i see Tito's record as egregious considering the hype he generated around him like a runaway train.

the DLH fight should have put an end to all the over the top stuff that was flying around(about both fighters).More than anything it really highlighted how one-dimensional both were in their own way.

Tito certainly had the better managed career and more successful in terms of title-fight wins, but overall i'd say they were on the same level.

I don't think Tito was any more durable though.he had his equilibrium discombobulated far too many times, even if the knockdowns were often due in part to his stiff legs.I think he probably had a McCallum Jackson-esque loss in him against someone who had similar ability and the mentality to impose themselves.

hopkins(as good and controlled a performance as it was)was overly safety-first and respectful for the first 8 or so rounds.When he finally seemed to realise Tito was physically feeble in comparison(and probably didn't hit as hard as he thought he might) and really let his hands go, Tito crumbled quite quickly i thought.

Never saw that fight as the drawn out steady beating a lot seem to, there were two distinctly different approaches on show from old snaggletooth.Hagler's two fights with hamsho remind me of this as well, where Marvin gave Hamsho more respect in terms of movement and in the exchanges than he really warranted in the first fight, despite turining in a great performance anyway.

 

Tito. Better resume, more dominant
