Originally posted by IwatchBoxingI say Duran, but a few more good wins for Trinidad would make him the greatest.
Close is Oscar De La Hoya, Benitez.

maybe now you will accept im not a hater but just know what im talking about. Tito has no plan B so therefroe cannot be a GREAT fighter.
A good one sure, a hall of famer even but top ten lists NO.

Originally posted by IwatchBoxingAt Welterweight I would think yes, what is your top ten for Middle and Welter? I understand he was beaten VERY badly two times, but he could aslo be going downhill you never know, he had just came out of retirement, yes he looked good with Mayorga, but was his heart really into his return? I'm not sold, either way he is still a monster to be in the ring with, it took 39 fights for people to study his every move to beat him, and hopefully he will try again, and come back prepared (if he doesnt really retire).
All three times he fought a true boxer, he lost. Everyone that doesn't suck on Tito's **** 24/7 knows and admits he really lost to DLH, and got a gift decision. He got torn apart by B-Hop, and now Winky.
It has nothing to do with him "goind down hill," either. The guy just can't fight people who don't trade with him.

The thing with all the fights he won were that the guys were ****** and stood toe-to-toe with him. I have to give him credit for taking advantage of that, but other than that, he's a very one-dimensional fighter.

FAIR COMMENT. I like Tito brave fighter and showed he was a true sportsman and gent at the end of the fight with Wiky showed real clas sthere, no histrionics no moaning just a nod of the head and smile, anyway back to the listing GREAT fighters have a plan B, like Snachez when he pulled it out the bag against Azumah.
Tito and Pac in my opinion dont have this in their arsenal this is why they will be good all time fighters and not great onjes.
Sorry I watch boxing, i take no pleasure in this when your man has just lost mate, its not gloating just backing up what Ive always thought. Hope you can see that.
ill have think aobut my all time top ten welters middles etc, as I dont make these lists on a whim and get back to you.
respect to you mate you shouted for your man til the end ive no doubt

JPW I'll be waiting for your list, I know it must be good.
But Trinidad was a differnit fighter at Welterweight, he actually boxed and defended his belt 18 something times against only the best, he has great heart, I am not going to far when questioning if its there or not when a fighter is fighting unlike himself, just how Hopkins and Winky dominated Trinidad, Tito had dominated others.
