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

fixed.

 

He was only in his prime for the Hoya fight. Hopkins was two weight classes above his best and while he was still great Hopkins was just greater and fought the best fight of his life that night. Wright he was still good but past it and Winky is a beast. And vs jones he was just plain shot and 20+ pounds from his best weight.

Maurice Blocker
Hector Camacho
Yori Boy Campos
Oba Carr
Freddie Pendleton
Pernell Whitaker(old tho)
Oscar De La Hoya
David Reid
Fernando Vargas
Williams Joppy
Ricardo Mayorga

Not that shabby.

 

Lets' be real hear. The guys that beat Trinindad past his prime were also past their prime themselves.

 

He did the same thing to Obba Carr, David Reid, Fernando Vargas, Maurice Blocker etc. He was an all time great & he very exciting to watch:bbb

 

You are on drugs buddyatsch

 

Hopkins was in his prime. Winky was a natural 154 pounder but was still prime. Yea Jones was shot but atleast he fought more the 3 times in the past 7 years and was fighting at a weight he was comfortable at...... And Tito still did good well early in the fight.... It wasnt a Hopkins or Wright type fight were he was never in it.

 

thumbsup Yes i read that post earlier and was thinking of what to say without dissing Tito,but you said it right on. While I didnt want to say Tito was overrated,in all truth he was but only slightly. His resume is pretty impressive,and i think he was awesome at JM,But truth is he was schooled by Oscar and Hopkins,and hes never been questioned or blasted the way Margarito has been. I wont hold the Jones and Winky losses against him cuz he was way past his best,but he wasnt Unbeatable and no way was he ever pfb #1 like an earlier post said. He was an all time great,but I dont think he was the best PR fighter of all time id put Gomez over him and hes about on par with Benitez and Ortiz.

 

He was on of the greats of his era.

That's why I said a 'tad.'

 

Felix Trinidad is overrated!!?? Really!!?? Umm i respect everyones opinion ...But im sorry, I just dont agree,Trinidad was 1 of the greatest welterweights of all time!! and he also proved to be a force out of his own weight classe,Destroying Vargas and taking his title at 154 and destroying Joppy and taking his title at 160....In my opinion Trinidad Is a Proven Legend,no question

 

You dont know your boxing

 

How can u say this man is overrated.....

You'll NEVER find a Fight fan more HARDER on Boricua Fighters than I am!!!

But You are DEAD WRONG on this one!!!!

TITO TRINIDAD WAS THE "TRUTH"!!!!!!

Risked his his undefeated record several times against QUALITY opposition!!!

Not to Mention...He fought Hopkins when HOPKINS WAS A BEAST!!!! And didn't wait til he was a FOSSIL like Oscar and Calzaghe!!! Along with Winky Wright...Something Oscar NEVER DID!!!

And what I respect about TITO more than any other Boricua Fighter in Recent Memory....TITO "TRAVELED" WELL. Meaning, he wasn't afraid to fight (TITLE FIGHTS OR TITLE DEFENSES) away from NYC OR PUERTO RICO unlike the Juanmas and Cottos.

Has over a DOZEN fights (including TITLE FIGHTS) in Las Vegas, even several fights in Mexico.

Hell, If my memory serves me correctly...Oscar has only THREE fights away from the WEST COAST!!!

In ESB...I have been given the Nickname: "THE BORICUA HATER" for my Criticism of Puerto Rican Fighters.

BUT ANY CRITICISM OF TITO TRINIDAD....THOSE ARE FIGHTING WORDS TO ME!!!!

TITO TRINIDAD IS THE "TRUTH"!!!

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM!!!!

 

most of the popular yet great fighters has been considered as overrated. heck, even prime rjj was considered by some fans as overrated.

 

stupid ass thread tito was one of the greatest boxers of all time one of the best welterweights ever top 10
