I'm sorry but Felix Trinidad = one the most overrated fighters in recent history.

he beat campas,carr,camacho,vargas and mayorga all before oscar.and those fighters weren't the same after he beat them. then the fight with hopkins should have never happened until he was settled in that weight not to take anything from hopkins cause to me that is the best he'd looked. although whitaker was not the same fighter the time they faced each other he'd would have beaten any of the top welters that time.there is no way you should say he is overrated he boxed the best in each of the weight he was in and never ducked anyone as many fighters do including mayweather

 

I quess you had to be there... Tito was a monster.

 

Wow, another bored thread starter. Fitz said it all.

 

****in' dreadful post, lad.

Bernard won nearly every round and KOd Trinidad brutally.

He completely outclassed the man and fought a near perfect fight.

Admittedly, Tito was at a bad weight for his body frame, but anyone who "lost all respect' for Bernard after watching his performance against Tito, probably didn't hold Bernard in much esteem to begin with, and clearly doesn't understand boxing.




Tito got a decision against Oscar. He was if anything, more outclassed and schooled in that fight than the one he lost to Hopkins.



And he looked like **** in his fight with Jones, who carried for him for most of the fight

A fight that was pure $$$$ for both fighters and should never have been made.



After his handwrapping got more scrutiny, he never won against a serious major opponent again.

While he is very likeable and had a great career at welterweight, and should rank highly, I think all things considered, especially his schoolings at the hands of Oscar, Bernard and Winky, he is a tad over-rated.

 

That Winky fight should have never happened and to lose to Hopkins and get outboxed by Oscar is not enough to say he is a tad overrated. All the said accomplishments by Fitz plus some is enough to call him one of the great ones. Well, of his era.

 

You gotta be kidding me. Tito was going up in weight and was destroying most of his opponents. He was doing well until he ran into hopkins. The mayorga-winky and jones fights, he was past his prime. During his prime he was a beast.

 

Did the Poster EVER WATCH TITO FIGHT ?? This dude was ELECTRIC. You didn't know if he was going to hit the canvas early in the fight put the other guy to sleep early. A Heavy hitter and exciting fighter to watch, no doubt. Plus what Fitz said! :happy

 

there is a difference between "no chin" and poor balance.

 

Trinidad was a Glass Jawed joke that lost just about every single one of his big fights but the DLH fight. He is way overrated.

 

Tito is ovverated as a MW but he was very decent at WW.

 

glass jawed joke???? he has NEVER been ko'd. his corner threw in the towel b/c he was getting beaten convincingly.

are you drunk?

 

he was all over the canvas in his career.

 

all over the canvas doesnt equal glass jaw. how many times did he get dropped only to get back up and KO his opponent. again, he had terrible balance, not a terrible chin.
