    :lol: You better brace yourself for impact for when Tito4eva sees this thread...

    Personally, I think you're talking utter garbage, and that this is a piece of **** thread.

    Tito is one of the hardest-hitting welterweights in boxing history.

    So he couldn't hurt Bernard Hopkins up at middleweight - can I just ask you Mr Thread Starter, who the **** have you ever ever seen hurt Bernard Hopkins in his entire career??

    Hopkins has one of the best chins and one of the best defences in boxing history, and he was a huge middleweight, and he was one of the best middleweights ever, and he was at his absolute peak at the time he fought Tito.

    Hopkins is probably the closest boxing has ever come to an unknockoutable boxer. He has been hurt once, but apparently high altitude conditions played a part in his performance that night.

    Peak Roy Jones didn't hurt Hopkins. Linear light-heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver didn't hurt him. The best supermiddleweight ever Joe Calzaghe didn't hurt him. Undefeated middleweight powerpuncher and world p4p#6 Kelly Pavlik didn't hurt him.


    Your idiocy has not gone underrated on this forum mate.

    Roy was smiling when Tito was hitting him with body shots. Although with that body armour of Jones its hard to break him to the body.

    because if you watch the fight again ,,,Hopkins never let Trinidad hit him flush for a couple of times, thats why !!! and second if you didnt know Hopkins have a solid chin.

    Trinidad lost that fight because of Hopkins smarts and defense style , Go watch Pavlik vs Hopkins and tell me that Pavlik power was overrated.

    Nope.

    At welterweight, Trinidad was a monstrous puncher...so much so that he eventually came to rely upon it entirely and let his underrated skill-set diminish as a result. Consider that even in his fight with DLH, where he wasn't landing much in the way of clean punches, he still compelled DLH to go into safety-first mode for the last four rounds of the fight, rather than press for a possible stoppage.

    At Junior Middleweight, he scored nine knockdowns in three fights against the best that the division had to offer, and in the one fight where he didn't knock the guy down, he beat him so badly that the fight was stopped in three.

    Make no mistake, Trinidad had scary power, and his record proves it.
