His KOs were like horrible train-wrecks & the Norris one, in particular, was off the scale violent. Every time JJ hit someone cleanly you just hoped to God he got up!
    He catches most of that list clean and they’re all asleep. That puts him up there.

      ....like he caught Terry Norris, who's ironically ranked #1 on the list. DLH, Mayweather, and Trinidad make the list mostly due to star-power.

        Tito could not win a single round against Winky. It was a clinical masterclass performance.
        Two, Tito did not beat Oscar. You know that. Lastly, look what Hopkins did to Tito.

          Terry Norris was my favorite fighter of the 1990s. He was the total package. He was very exciting to watch. He could box as well as slug. I agree with the article. He was perhaps the greatest Junior Middleweight of all-time.

            Tommy Hearns is my GOAT at 154.

            He beats everyone.

              Tio was a was a beefed up welterweight vs Hopkins, so was Oscar.

                That’s fine. But you left out the part where he was beaten like a pińata by Winky and Oscar got robbed when they fought.

                  No Julian Jackson or Wilfred Benitez, who beat Maurice Hope, a guy from Panama who once fought Ken Buchanan, and Carlos Santos?

                    My comment was in reference to Hopkins beating both Tio and Oscar. Winky is an all time great at 154.

                      1. Wahhh Oscar coasted the last 4 rounds and cost himself that fight. And it was fought @147.But ya he deserved the nod.
                      2. Tito vs winky was fought @160 and Tito was retired basically by then. Like STFU lmao. if they fought at 154 in their primes tito walks through winky. Using the winky loss against him is like using the quillen loss against winky smh.Vargas smacked winky around then proceeded to have his life ruined by tito
                      3.the hopkins fight was also @160. And Hopkins beat everyone @160.
