What do you mean it took him 7 years to challenge a champion? No one wanted to fight him Oscar was a Jr welter at that time mosley was a lightwgt, Whitaker held a portion of the title & he clearly said in numerous interviews on HBO & newspapers & in regards to Trinidad, that he don't fight countries...what kind of crab is that? Tito is much younger than sweetpea so it ain't his fault whitaker was old. In other words Tito was a big gamble why fight him when you can make more $ fighting Delahoyer, Chavez. Ike Quartey didn't want none of Trinidad It's only when Tito made himself a star that he then went where the $ was at & that was Oscar. Quartey, Lopez, Vernon, James Page of all those names Mosley only fought one of them & so did Oscar. You really think Tito avoided Forest? Mayorga who doesn't know how to throw a righthand ko'd him.
So moving up in wgt to fight undefeated David Reid & then undefeated Vargas is not daring to be great? And then moving up in wgt again (not catch weight) to challenge Joppy & fighting the great Bernard Hopkins if that is not daring to be great than i guess you won me over.

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.

About the only one that would had given competition from that group would have been Forrest because of his boxing skills combined with power.
The timing wasn't there and Trinidad moved up to fight Reid and Vargas which were better than Page, Lopez and Quartey.
