    Even if we are not counting guys lost to I wouldn't be so quick to give it to Floyd. Tito has a very impressive list of victims.

    Who have a better resume really? IMO Floyd got this. He fought more primed opponents and bigger opposition and won them all. Tito fought more big names but unfortunely most of them were out of prime much like Oscar De La Hoya.


    Past prime notables

    Floyd's Hernandez to Trinidad's Camacho
    Floyd's Oscar to Trinidad's Whitaker
    Floyd's Baldomir to Trinidad's Mayorga


    Notables
    Floyd's Judah to Trinidad's Campas

    Not so good notables
    Floyd's N'dou was in prime as well as Sosa to Trinidad's Reid and Thiam
    Floyd's Corley to Trinidad's Carr
    Floyd's Chavez to Trinidad's Joppy

    Elites
    Floyd's Corrales to Trinidad's Vargas
    Floyd's Castillo 2x (peaking Prime) to Trinidad's bhop (semi prime) and Wright (semi prime)
    Floyd's Hatton (prime) to Trinidad's (out of prime Jones)
    Floyd has also beaten a prime Judah and prime Carlos Henderaz

    Tito fought more big names but most definitely not the most dangerous.

    Tito much like Oscar fought tons of out of prime and old opponents. Tito had Joppy, Bhop, Jones, Camacho, Pea, Mayroga. Floyd's 130 was very impressive. Except Henderaz he practially cleaned house on young and peak prime fighters.

    I've learned not expect any objectivity from some of Floyd's fans but c'mon you can try harder than that:patsch

    Hernandez, Vargas, Corley, Mitchell, Gatti, Judah and DLH can arguably be considered out of prime if you use the same guidelines:hi:

    Either way you put it, PBF's resume pales in comparison to Tito's and DLH's!

    First of all just bc tito fought more big names does not automatically make them good. It is known that boxing is not mainstream in America. Hispanic fighters get a hell of a lot more support than american fighters. Americans rather watch football and basketball. It is easy to sell a hispanic fighter. Hands down Oscar and Tito have fought more undersized and out of prime fighters period.

    not to mention 130lb to even 140lber fighters did not get the recognion they should back then bc nobody watches them. Just bc they are smaller fighters DOES not mean they can't fight. Remember Floyd is a perfect example how he can whoop guys who is bigger than him. Haters can deny his punching power and his "running" tactics but he wins and he wins almost always very one-sided. He also lands in 50% accuracy against any level of opposition. How many fighters can do that?

    resume should be put into perspective with how you list it above.
    trinidad got caned by hopkins and lost to jones. he also fought whittaker when he was past it.

    if you want to get a better comparison then you need to wait until floyd gets old and loses - which he will. his ego won't allow him to retire so he'll also take a step too far.
