Who has a better legacy, Tito or RJJ?

Legendary?

Camacho was about 7-8 years past his best. What did he ever do at welterweight?

Carr and Campas were good undefeated contenders, and probably his best wins at WW, along with an old (but never clearly defeated) Whitaker. Tito won about a round or two combined against Hopkins and Wright, so that doesn't really do much for his legacy. His "win" over De La Hoya is questionable. Mayorga? Mayorga was no middleweight, he hasn't even shown much power at 154 let alone 160.

Vargas is Tito's best win, followed probably by Joppy. Beating a young Reid was good, but that hardly constitutes a "legendary" resume.

At least not one of victories.

 

No he beat Hopkins, Toney, Tarver, Paz, Mccallum, Griffin, Woods, Ruiz, etc.

Thanks for playing.

 

The line up is legendary per say but it doesnt compares to Jones.
Tito was great, the best welterweight of his time before he moved up and won 2 titles at other weights but Jones was more talented, and also won more titles 160-heavyweight, and beat and fought more champions these are facts: only fighter he fought he didnt beat was GlennCoffe Johnson.

Glen Johnson, actually beat Hopkins, Toney, Hill, Vinny Paz, Mike McCallum, John Ruiz, Lou Del Valle, Reggie Johnson, Jorge Castro, Jorge Vaca, Eric Lucas, Antonio Tarver, Clinton Woods, Montell Griffin, and in Jan. Trinidad...
thats 15 champs excluding Trinidad

 

RJJ Easy

 

Roy Jones, Jr.

 

I would have to say RJJ... But Trinidad will always be liked more, by way more fans.. Plain and simple... RJJ will never get the love Tito did...

RJJ, boxing at its purest form... Trinidad, is the peoples champ!

 

Wow, i can't believe someone would ask a question with such an obvious answer.

 

Welcome to ESB...home of the stupid question with the obvious answer.

This post brought to you by our past favorites...

"Is Bernard Hopkins an ATG?"
"Why Wlad is the best HW of all time!"
"Pernell Whitaker was a boring fighter"
"Who wins Floyd vs SRR?"

Feel free to add your own...

 

:good

 

Jorge Castro was pretty young when Roy fought him.

 

Jones defeated much more Top10 contenders, was better toe-to-toe and had success in more weight classes.

Jones > Trinidad

 

Tie.

 

There's a real conflict of quantity vs quality here. I feel Tito has wins (DLH, Vargas etc.) of a quality to exceed any of Roy's, but at the same time Roy compiled a large resume of significant fighters, performing consistently against them. I also think their losses weigh equally against them: Tito proved vulnerable to a specific strategy and failed time after time against it; Jones found himself in the same position Ali was in as he got slower, but showed he didn't have the quality of chin to stay at the top as his reflexes aned.

I suppose I lean slightly towards Roy Jones, but it's very close. I think if Tito can successfully move up in weight and beat Jones, it swings the balance in his favour.

 

DLH and Vargas don't outstrip Toney and Hopkins. Especially since a majority feel he lost to DLH.
