Not like he "really" won the Oscar fight. The B Hop fight was also a legit loss. He was a great fighter though and I really enjoyed watching Tito fight. I don't think he'd have beat Shane (imho) either. That fight from what I recall wasn't realistically going to happen either way.

Tito was a great champ. Took on all comers never ducked anyone. Defended his title 15 times as a welterweight . Had power in both hands, had an explosive hook. Fact is that Tito dared to be great, went up to jr middle wgt & unified the belts there as well, moved up in wgt again & captured a middlewgt world title & once again attempted to unified the titles, he was defeated by Hopkins. As we now know, there is no shame in losing to Hopkins. Turns out he lost to a great fighter. He definitely is not GOAT, but he was great.

Tito never dared to be great.
It took him SEVEN years to challenge another Champion.

That's not daring to be great...at least not in this Country.

He saw many a good fighters come and go in 7 years...and didn't challenge any of them.

Ike Quartey
James Page
Jose Luis Lopez
Vernon Forrest

Didn't fight Wittaker when it mattered.
Could have made the Shane Mosely fight,back when Shane had 147 in terror.

Tito did the opposite of daring to be great.

Seems a couple people have thrown some negative rep my way on account of thinking I'm trolling. I am not trolling. Perhaps I should have limited calling Felix the GOAT to offensive/pressure fighters only. When you categorize him that way, it's harder not to call him the greatest.
