IMO, Tito was a "throwback" to the mid-70's type welters when he was in his prime....and was on TV a lot. His legacy seems to be slipping now. He could end up like Cuevas.....well respected only by those who remember his great k.o.'s
Dont think he was underated. He was a big strong welterweight which made up for some of his shortcomings as a boxer. His style was somewhat one dimensional and that became more apparent once he moved up in weight.
I think he is. Nobody is going to portray him as something that he wasn't, ie a master technician. But what he was was one of the all time great finishers and accurate as hell with his power-shots. He was effective with what he did. His major shortcoming was never learning to cut off the ring.
:good Pretty much it. The word great is thrown around way too much these days in all sports - Trinidad wasn't what I'd call GREAT. Being almost great isn't anything to be ashamed of.
