I don't think anybody in their right mind claims that - but it is relevant to question whether he belongs near the top of the ATG lists at 147/154 (as many people have him), and to what extent he was a one-dimensional fighter, as both the DLH and Hopkins fights showed to some extent. DLH in fact laid out the perfect blueprint for how to beat Tito - he just decided to run like a chicken for thre last 6 rounds of their fight. Hopkins pretty much followed the same blueprint with a vengeance.Halfamill wrote:That Trinidad is one of the worst boxers ever because he lost to two of today's greatest boxers.
OTOH, it's not like DLH did all that great vs. B-Hop either, so maybe in retrospect we shouldn't hold it against Tito that he got completely dominated by the same, undisputedly ATG middleweight.

I meant it as an ethnicity, not a religion. Enough of this PC bullshit. If I said that the English gave the Native Americans smallpox blankets, would you complain that I mentioned that they were English?
Why not tell us your religion/ethniity/race/nationality, and we can all test your theory and see how many negaitive stereotypes we can equate to your background, and see what gene pool produced..ummmm....the obvious
Ever notice when someone gets caught in a slip of racism and bigotry, they always claim anyone who calls them on it is just "Too PC" ?
I wouldn't go as that far and say DLH ran the last 6 when he only took off 3-4 round's in term's of accomplishments he should be rated pretty high Head2 Head no..Eric the Viking wrote:I don't think anybody in their right mind claims that - but it is relevant to question whether he belongs near the top of the ATG lists at 147/154 (as many people have him), and to what extent he was a one-dimensional fighter, as both the DLH and Hopkins fights showed to some extent.
