Who is a greater pugilist Mosley,Oscar or Tito

in the great words of Jack Prescott

The Superior Black Athlete!

 

trinidad hurt mayorga to the body but how many top flight opponents did either fighter hurt to the body that really made a diffrrence?

 

Trinidad ravaged Reid to the body and head (and below the belt). Reid tried to catch a lot of them with his elbows, but he couldn't catch all of them.

He mixed in body shots well against Carr if I remember correctly. It made no difference against Hopkins, Hopkins was just too good for Tito, but even he remarked later on that his ribs were sore from taking Tito's bodyshots.

Tito stopped or dropped other guys at 147 like Barnes, Pineda, and Pendelton. They weren't "top flight", but like I said earlier, most of his opposition at 147 wasn't very impressive.

 

I'm bumping some of these old threads to show us how we thought then vs now.

This is from before the Mosley/Margarito fight.
The poll has it thus far.
Mosley 14
Oscar 24
Tito 8

Oscar was favored on ESB before the Marg fight. Now let's see what happens in the poll when people think its a recent thread and vote according to the taste today. :yep

 

Overall, Oscar is a more skilled boxer than both, and legacy-wise I think he also gets the nod over both when you compare resumes and all-time great significance.

 

Ive always been perplexed by how DLH's career from 130-140 is kind of just dismissed when talking about his career. Idk how many all time fighters I would favor over DLH at 140 (since the division was created). Probably only a handful.

 

I went with Mosley, simply because he was truly a force for any and every guy he faced in his prime. Technically he is sound, with a strong chin and good power.

Not to mention that...He aint done yet!!!

 

1. Oscar
2. Shane
3. Tito

 

a win over mayweather and Mosley surpasses both of them imo

 

:deal

 

:huh

 

How is this ranked? Hoya was more complete??? He lost to Mosley fair and square.

 

I never include `market value` or whatever **** anyway.... Its close between all 3 but if pushed Id have to say.....

Mosely
DLH
Tito

Mosely won the h2h at their very peaks vs DLH (DLH was robbed in fight 2 tho).... DLH did likewise vs Tito... Mosely never fought Tito but started at LW where as Tito started 2 weight above at WW so the p4p thing swings it SSMs way + Winky won 12 rds to 0 vs Tito, he never managed that in 2 attempts vs Mosely.

I go Mosely but its close.

 

I agree with this. DLH beat Tito and shane (rematch) IMHO. But didn't get the decision on paper....in the ring he did enough to win....but DLH had some "gifts" as well....one would be the strum fight. Whitaker and Quartey were close, but I felt DLH won by a hair.
