    10 welterweights that were greater/better:

    Ray Robinson
    Mickey Walker
    Thomas Hearns
    Ray Leonard
    Henry Armstrong
    Jose Napoles
    Emile Griffith
    Kid Gavilan
    Joe Walcott
    Carmen Basilio

    Trinidad probably cracks my top 15. And this is coming from a big fan of his.
    Wheres Wilfred Benitez, number 99 .
    That list is horrible.

        I like how people say ODLH lacks heart. Obviously you ppl didnt see him fight Quartey, i had him down by a point until the last round which he needed to win by KO or knocking him down and thats what he did in like the first 15 when round 12 started. The he continued to pound on him until the round ended. Someone who has no heart would quite befor the fight was over, ODLH showed great heart and won the fight like a true champ.

          Wow...the Mexicans had the flags waving...hmmm... Well let me tell you something you might not know....there are Mexicans from Mexico and then there are Chicanos meaning they were born in the United States to parents originally born and raised in Mexico. This would be similar to your "New Yoricans". The Chicanos love DLH and admire him cuz he is one of us. The Mexicans CAN NOT STAND HIM 99% of the time because of his style and his destruction of the great JC Superstar. Yes some of the Mexicans "adopted" him in that fight with Tito simply becuase he had similar bloodlines. Yet, they actually could have cared less and were indifferent to the outcome. So.... Those people who were waving the Mexican were representing thier heritage and culture, but not speaking for MEXICO as a country. Most of them were chicano like myself. MY DAD who is MEXICAN all the way, could care less about DLH... OKAY!

            Are you that ******ed?

            Why do you only look at records...?

            Sugar Ray had 19 losses

            Trinidad has 1

            Sugar Ray is 10 times the fighter that Trinidad is

            Basilio was GOOD to..

            If you never seen his fights, then do so..

              Your only 16 years old, how the hell you know? It getting late, why dont you go to sleep. The guy sucks, his record does matter when having him on your TOP TEN list, its ******ed to have him their, guy been losing fights since he started, Trinidad would of kicked his ass losing like that.

                  Basilio's record sucks? If you really think that, there's no use debating. Ask anyone that has knowledge of boxing's history. I guarantee that they'll agree that Basilio was one of the greatest of all-time.
