    Felix "Tito" Trinidad the last real dominant WW Champ...

    Before Tito we had some great champs and great matches but when the Tito era came he beat all champs and all comers. HE had incredible Power and incredible Stamina I mean every punch he threw was with conviction even his jab had power behind it for all 12 rounds.

    Since Tito we haven't seen any real dominant WW to be proclaimed the man at 147lbs.

    This are the actual prospects to be called the man.

    Cotto : He was on his way to be the man if he had not loose to Margo (for me he cheated) but still there was P. Williams in the horizon (It would have been a great match)

    Mosley: While he gave Margo the beating of his life Cotto still has a win over him convincingly for about 3 rounds in my score cards among others.

    MArgo: We all know his story but still if he wouldn't been caught cheating who knows what he could have done to Shane Mosley but still he has a convincingly L against P. Williams.

    P.Williams: While he was a very avoided WW he has a very convincingly L vs Quintana who was destroyed by Cotto. P. Williams re match Quintana and in a very competitive first round Williams caught Quintana and end it but in a bad night everything can happen going both ways for Quintana and P.Williams meaning fight 1 and 2.

    Mayweather: Fast up and comer from a div he was the man and the undisputed champ. His first fight at 140 was Henry Bruseles (check him before and after Floyd fight in boxrec) his second fight was a very weight drain and Down hill and RIP Arturo Gatti which he KO's quite easy like a champ should do. So thinking he was the man at 140 leaving Cotto and Hatton goes to 147 to fight Sharamba Mitchel (Way past his Prime) goes and fight the Baldi a guy we all know he ain't **** and box his ass of like it was suppose to happen then fights Judah which I respect him for taking that fight and like it some here said he won but struggle to get that win and to top it off he was Knock Down legitimately but the ref did not counted. Goes and fights Oscar at 154 another fight I respect him to take and win a very close fight with a bit faded Oscar in a bore fest but it is still was a good win to rise his name more in the boxing world setting up fights with the real threads at WW which where Mosley, Cotto and Margo. While all the hype is make and we where all boxing fans sight to see Floyd vs the real top guys at WW and we where all thinking who will be next; Floyd goes and fight the 140 champ(Hatton) at 147, a weight that the 140 champ struggle with Collazo a guy Mosley toyed ala Cotto vs Gomez. But it was evident it was for $$$$ I mean who would say not to that right? maybe in his next fight. Floyd then Stops HAtton and and we boxing fans where hoping to see Floyd vs the Winner of Cotto and Mosley what he does he said **** THAT **** and retire his ass leaving me and all boxing fans and his fans frustrated since he talked all that **** about I will beat anybody and this was and tat way and did not walk the walk. etc got tire of typing.

    Andre Berto: Good kid fast and strong but lacks of concentration and defense he had a very difficult time with Collazo and in my eyes and others he still got a lot to proved to belong to the elite.

    [B]Manny Pac:[/B Coming from an impressive win over HAtton at 140 and already had a fight vs past his prime and we can agree he was very weight drained OScar De La Hoya at 147 he now calls out Miguel Cotto at a catch weight of 145 lbs to even things up like they said but still want the hard earn and defended Tittle Cotto earned weighting having the option to weight 147 lbs (WW rules max weight) but still Cotto weighted 146 in his last fight leaving space to shed one more pound to fight PAC. Still PAc and his crew (ROach) wanted for Cotto to go as low as 143. (So why the hell you called him out?) If Pac wins over Cotto he still has to fight Mosley of Floyd without any catch weight crap if he wants to belong at the WW elite group but we all know he just wants to win the 7 weight Div belt and if he wins vs Cotto he will ask Floyd, Marquez or Mosley to again to fight him at a catch weight as well.


    To stay on the topic we still haven't see a true dominant WW since Felix Trinidad. Who could of those or up and comer be the new dominant WW CHAMP that take all fighters like Tito did.

    Excuse my typing errors!!!!!

      Berto has no place on that list.

      He fought 1 top 10 guy in his life and he arguably lost.

          He didn't deserve the decision though, but i agree there hasn't been a dominant WW champ like Tito

            I like Tito more than Oscar, but Oscar schooled him.

              Don King beat DLH (not Tito)

              Oscar even if he ran the last few rounds still did enough to win. All this **** about how some rounds where close is bs. De La Hoya won at least 7 rounds clearly.

              Watch the fight with the volume off or on it does not matter. You win 7 clear rounds in a 12 round fight = 7-5 which is win in my book.

                Tito was the man, but he lost to Hoya's for sure. But that run he had at 154 until Hop was one of the best I've seen. It reminds me of Pac's run now. The last dominate WW champ was Donald Curry.

                  Maybe for the first 5 or 6 Rounds, but a fight is 12 rounds and that wasnt a "schooling" IMO, I witnessed 2 different fights in 1 fight, one with DLH controlling the fight and the other with Tito controlling the fight. It made no sense for the result of the fight to be caused by Don King, Tito & Oscar were both undefeated and Oscar was by far the more marketable fighter for HBO. The fact is the 3 judges scored the fight as they saw it. If Oscar felt like he "put on a boxing clinic" as he stated then he shouldve rematched Tito and put on the "boxing clinic" again.
