I find most people that put him down have only seen him fight sinse he fought DLH. Which means they hardley ever really saw him at his very best.
You think that statements silly huh?

Throughout Tito’s career he beat a lot of decent fighters…but not boxers. I’ve seen almost every Trinidad fight out there & I saw Tito when he was at his best…but his best weren’t shat when he faces boxers with a defense & game plan backed by a boxing mind.

Whitaker, Carr, & Campos were Trinidad’s most impressive wins to me…but beating Pernell was just cracking the shell of what he once was…so it’s hard to rate that one.

I never said that Tito sucked or that he didn’t beat good fighters in his rise…but there is a huge difference between beating a good fighter & a good boxer.

Rookie Fan or not…you know that.
Hector Camacho was a good boxer and Tito beat him comfortably and also ODLH. Even if you don't consider it a victory its still on the record books and it was a close fight that could of gone either way.
Camacho was a decent boxer...yes...& there are a few on Tito's list worth mentioning. Joppy is one that I like to credit Tito for utterly destroying...but I still don't buy into that Oscar win...not matter who tries to convince me of it.

That being said...bringing Camacho into it is all well & good...but once again...let me clarify...beating good fighters & a good boxer is different...or atleast in my eyes it is.

I just can;t believe that people try to over look the Hopkins, Wright, & even Oscar fights as Trinidad losing to overly accomplished boxers.

You feel me?
Camacho NOT a good boxer? Yeah, right wacko. Camacho was an AWESOME boxer. Is what you should be sayin is that he was old as hell by the time Tito fought him, which is the truth. But in his prime and even after it for a while, Hector "Macho" Camacho could box extremely well.
Yes Camacho was a pretty good boxer. He was passed his best but I wouldn't say he was very old at the time. He did win some 20+ fights after that. He was over his best weight though. But there are others, Carr boxed pretty good, Roger Turner was pretty slick, Reid was boxing good till he got cought. And than there is DLH against whom Tito still held his own even though he was loosing, he still kept it close enough.

Look Wack all I'm saying is that it didn't just take any good boxer to beat him, it took an exceptionally great boxer to do it. Heck, Tito never went in there to try and outbox anybody. He went in there to beat you up. The only question was what could you do about it. Up till now, only three have been able to do something about it. One of which could not do it for the full 12 rounds.
