    Marquez is far more skilled than Tito, bruh. Plus chemical enhancements.

    If memory serves me correct. Pac only has problems with Mexican greats. Seems to have less drama with slicks and other boxerers. So I believe.

    How many slick boxers has Manny Pacquiao beat though ? He didn't fight Zahir Raheem, Joan Guzman, Nate Campbell, which would of been interesting fights. I'm not saying he ducked them of course, but i don't really remember a whole host of elite slick fighters Pacquiao beat. I guess you could say Bradley ? But i struggle to think of anyone else.

    :lol: What in the blue hell did Marquez do in fight 4 besides throw down and **** Manny up. If Manny is going to be trading with a ferocious puncher like Trinidad he's getting put to sleep, it's really that simple, this is a different breed of power than he ever felt before, especially at 147. Manny is there to be hit and Trinidad had ATG stamina to go along with his inhuman power, everything he throws is going to hurt Manny and it's just not going to be a good outcome. Either he gets beat up severely and the fight gets stopped late or hopefully for Mannys sake he gets knocked out early by a chunky left hook.

    Uh, Marquez is far more skilled than Tito and is a stylistic nightmare for Pac. And when has Pac ever been susceptible to left hooks? It's the right hands. And don't discount Marquez/Memo Heredia's power in the 4th fight. Why do you think Marquez was never able to drop or stop Pac in previous outings? Much bigger and known punchers like Cotto, Mosley, Matthysse, and Thurman couldn't make Pac flinch with their bombs. Mosley landed a massive right hand to a charging Pac in Round 3 and nothing happened.

    Trinidad was very strong, but regarding his wraps was it ever confirmed in absolute or was it just regular boxing accusations by the camps & fighters as i've seen it is a 60/40 opinion among the public,

    If it is false then that's ruined Tito & forever put doubt into the peoples minds, something i've seen happen from cliques in boxing time & time again where one set group of people want others thinking their way through their media & camp connections.

    LOL? Tell me how many 1 punch KO's Manny has scored at 147? Matter of fact the only people he stopped were a weight drained Cotto and an extremely inactive and shot Lucas Matthyse.

    Let me educate you a little on boxing boy, because you seem to not know 2 shits about it, especially on a legendary fighter like Trinidad.
    For one, Trinidad didn't use illegal wrappings, they were only not allowed in New York where the fight took place, the way he wrapped his hands was legal anywhere else. This is a direct quote from Naazim Richardson himself who was the one who pointed out the wraps.

    "Joppy always felt some kind of way about that and he said something to me about catching the thing with Tito. But the thing is this, Tito Trinidad deserves to be in the Hall of Fame because the way Tito got his hands wrapped was legal in other states. It wasn't legal in New York, but it was legal in other states," stated world-class trainer Naazim Richardson, who shared his thoughts on recents comments made by former middleweight champion William Joppy regarding Hall of Famer Felix "Tito" Trinidad. According to Joppy, Trinidad didn't deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame because he felt the multi-division champion used illegal hand wraps throughout his career."

    So unless you got some concrete proof that Trinidad was using illegal wraps, please elaborate on it more. Pacquaio used to do the same thing regularly, wrapping up his hands on his own instead of someone else doing it. Where is the controversy there? Trinidad just hit that damn hard especially at 147 and 154. The man had the god given talent to knockout an elephant if he wanted to. Joppy, Vargas and Reid simply got manhandled from their prime and their titles and a lot of it is just sour grapes.

    Also, WTF are you talking about. Did you not see his fight against Mayorga? That fight permanently ruined the man, he took a savage beating that he never recovered from. Mayorga took free shots from a huge puncher like Forrest willingly who was the only fighter who was able to really hurt Mosley. He did that with Trinidad and it effected the whole dynamic of the fight and noticeably hurt him, idk wtf you're talking about or what fight you were watching.

    Not really, all that is just sour grapes.

    The way he wrapped his hands was completely legal anywhere else but not allowed in the state of New York where the fight with Hopkins took place. Manny Pacquaio used to do the same as Trinidad, wrapping his hands on his own which is completely illegal anywhere but nobody cried any controversy. Trinidad just hit that damn hard.

    When I was a young boy, I watched the Trinidad-Hopkins fight live. Trinidad had absolutely no answer for Hopkins. It seemed like whatever Trinidad threw, it had no effect.

    Why didn't Tito Trinidad have a higher KO percentage?

    Comparing Monstrous Hitters

    Trinidad — 77%

    Beterbiev — 100%
    Davis — 92%
    Wilder — 91%
    Inoue — 88%
    Golovkin — 82%

    I'm not saying Tito didn't have excellent power, but he lags behind this generation's KO artists.

    Again, WTF did Marquez do in fight 4 besides throw down and beat Manny the **** up? Wtf did a bum like Jeff Horn do? Manny Pacquaio is there to be hit, he gets hit during all of his fights besides maybe Joshua Clottey who refused to throw his hands. Have you ever even watched a Trinidad fight? He can knock you out with either hand especially the right, everything he throws is gonna hurt Manny including the blocked shots.

    Also, :lol: that version of Marquez couldn't even put a dent on Timothy Bradley and "Serhii Fedchenko". Marquez just said **** it, abandoned all defense and decided to beat the living **** out of Pac. Trinidad was born and bred for those type of fights.

    Hopkins had one of the greatest chins in the history of boxing. He took the smaller man Trinidads weapons away and by that point had completely fell in love with his power.
