CC, ETM. You're gonna have a group of haters that'll dispute that to no end. But they choose to ignore victories by Tito over some very good boxers in their prime. Oba Carr was undefeated and heavily touted as a very good boxer until he met Tito.
Oba Carr wasn't a "boxer" he was a risk taker who's defense was moving back with lis hands down. Sure he COULD box but it wasn't his forte, he was open for every punch in the book unless he fought someone who saw him drop his hands whenever he threw
Of COURSE Oba Carr wasn't "a boxer", Starr. He was an undefeated NOBODY. It's no WONDER Tito feasted on him. Just like all the OTHER undefeated nobodies Tito took down. They ALL stuck out their chin so poor Tito could knock them out. I mean, why ELSE would Tito amass a 42-2 record and take out so many undefeated champions and former Olympic gold-medalists. It was all just pure LUCK.

You're right, Starr. How COULD I have been so blind?
Now.... if you'll excuse me for a moment..........

I think you're overstating. Trinidad was a great fighter though. Look at Chavez, he had one gear it didn't make him any less of a fighter.

So what if Tito was one dimensional, since thats true it shows how good he was to get so far before he got beaten. He may have been one dimensional, but dang he KNEW that dimension well. Well enough to get the kind of record he has, he had skill too despite his weaknesses and that makes Tito a better fighter then people wnat to give him credit for.
