    I doubt it.

    Tito had much more in the power department and Erik was a much better boxer, but loved to brawl. Morales was a much more accurate puncher than Tito.

      Morales could box, but was so prone to brawling.

      Trinidad's skills have become underrated over time I might add, probably on his own doing as he fell in love with his power.

        i think that one of the characteristics that makes one a superior "boxer" is control and Erik lacked that many times. He may have had the ABILITY but Tito showed more focus in his career.

          I don't know about this one. Trinidad was a very accurate puncher. His footwork was ass so he lost his accuracy against guys like Hopkins and DLH, but he was usually accurate and picked his punches well.

            Morales is probably a slightly more complete fighter but Tito is the better fighter. People need to remember Tito lost at Middleweight not welter or jrMW.

            They both have a who's who list in there resume's because both fought the very best in there weight classes. Tito's might be higher valued to some due to the higher popularity of the Welterweight division but they are about equal. There isn't a person at Welterweight that was around that Tito didn't fight....except for Ike who dissappeared after he felt (not saying he was just his feelings) he was robbed by DLH.

                Morales was the better fighter and boxer.

                Tito had the most power p4p obviously.
