Who had the better career Tito or De La Hoya?

Opinions guy's, I would love to hear them, you guy's already know who I think, but either way you vote it's close

How come no one type's shit on this website

I went with Oscar. They both have a reputation for failing in megafights, and its ironic that although Trinidad won his battle with De La Hoya in the ring the vast majority of people thought he had lost.

I've got to go with Oscar overall though, not only did he win belts in 6 divisions he's also still relevant now and able to compete with the world's best fighter.

Trinidad fights on also, but he's trading on name only these days.

I respect that opinion and agree about 50%, but Tito won plenty of mega fights

De La Hoya
Reid
Vargas
Joppy

and big fights ( Not Mega)
Carr
Campus
Blocker

He won the belt at 20 years old when he was just a kid, he held it for 6 years before moving up in weight, he probably could have had the same career at 154 if he would have stayed there, he accomplished a HOF career before he turned 30, the guy was great

No doubt Tito was a great and he beat Vargas up for ODH (which IMO was ODH greatest victory) but what he has done since he lost to Hopkins is harming his legacy.

[Rican]

Tito was definitely more devastating and thrilling than Oscar. After a while, Oscar fought the likes of Gatti, a past his prime Chavez, an already beaten by Trinidad Vargas AND Mayorga, etc. And Oscar has lost more megafights than Tito (see Mosley twice, Floyd, Hopkins) and always ducked Wright. So although Oscar has won belts in many different divisions, Tito has been the most consistently exciting, devastating, and thrilling than Oscar.

I think Trinidad had the slightly better career. It's very close though.

(I thought their fight was a draw, for what it's worth.)

[Master]

I have gone for ODH, he won titles at more weights and I think what Tito is doing is seriously harming his legacy, in fact it is getting embarrassing.

I think most people will answer this question the same way they would answer the question "who won between Tito or De La Hoya?"

I for one is no different. And I go with De La Hoya.

I'd go for De La Hoya

Results below are my opinions not the judges

Trinidad
Whitaker (maybe a draw though)
Mosley (II)
JCC (shot though)


Losses

I agree that most will answer this question by looking at their fight. But I don't agree that that is how it should be done. In fact, to be fair, I think their fight together should be excluded from this debate since it was really a low point on both of their careers. In their career defining moment at the very peak of their game they both choked and both of their stocks plumeted that day.

My vote went to ODH!!

Someone to achieve belts in different weight div.and stay champ says alot and it's VERY impressive.
I give my respect to TITO but i believe he only stood at one weight div. not quite sure but if any one can show me any statistics that would be great.

So there you have it.....CHEERS!!!

I dont think that their fight should necessarily be the way to jugde their careers, I merely think how you view that fight may very well reflect on the career question as well.

One unmentioned thing that De La Hoya has going for him as well is that he could actually still manage to win a title. I don't believe Tito would be able to do that (also because he'd be unlikely to come down to his best weight(s))

[JLAQ]

Sadly, Tito was only as good as his handwraps.

Career's are not measured by the battles one fights. Careers are measured by success. So are we talking success in the ring or success in the boxing industry? Success in the ring can be debated but success in the boxing industry Oscar wins hands down. He is now one of the most influential people in boxing. Tito has nothing more to offer than the occasional fight against some other former great.
