Trindad winner in head to head match up.


Both had let down's against Hopkins but both of them were undersized and should not have taken fights in that weight class. Trindad did the bulk of the work on common opponents defeating Campus, Carr, and Vargas while still undefeated. He also took on Mayorga when he was still in his prime. What's strange to me is that niether of these phenoms were able to KO Camancho. I felt that Tito was the better athlete between the two and Oscar was better skilled due to better trainer's. Wish we could have had a trilogy with these two great fighters. Very small chance they will ever meet in the square circle again. Sound off on who impressed you more.

Great comparison of stats, brazilianbomber. CC for that. One detail you forgot to mention was how, speaking of Tito's and Oscar's common opponents, Tito usually got to them first. Several of Oscar's victories against these opponents came after they had suffered devastating KO's at the hands of Tito. There was an excellent article on this subject posted on another site a while back, which I posted here some time ago.

And although they both were unsuccessful at 160, particularly against Hopkins, Tito did KO William Joppy rather impressively in his first fight at that weight, while Oscar got handed a gift decision over Felix Sturm.

Both were exciting to watch, both are future Hall of Famers, but (and of course, I'm biased) to me the edge goes to Tito.
