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

I suppose you can easily name 10 welterweights in history better than trinidad then?:huh

 

anybody think the handwraps that hopkins alleged was illegal played a big part in Tito's power pre hopkins. Also, maybe he retired after hopkins cauz hopkins called him out on them (meaning he'd have a hard time in future fights getting away with it)?

 

Go dig up some old threads. This point has been much debated.

 

yeah i know. the point wasn't mentioned in the 4 or 5 pages I read here. I was surprised, so i brought it up b/c it shouldn't be ignored.

 

its not about comparing him to other fighters. its about what he did as a fighter.

loved watching tito fight, but if we're talking creme-a-la-creme he never made it.

 

hopkins would call the conception of jesus out if it served his purposes to be honest.

 

Lets see, do you think Tito lost to ODLH????
Because ODLH lasted less than Tito against Hopkins.
Did they took something out of ODLH handwraps too?????
They lost against Hopkins because they dont belong fighting against such a big guy. Tito is tall, but look at his skinny legs. His frame is small

 

He is only slightly overrated as he is put on par with legends who were a level above him but in his prime he was a beast. He had some flaws but equalized it with tremendous power and conditioning.

SOOOOooo... by all means, plz feel free to answer the question u were asked... anytime.

 

He was a very good fighter but in the time that he,Oscar, and IKe were the top 3 in the division he never faced Ike and was exposed and beaten by Oscar. But still a very good fighter

 

You can't?:huh

 

He was very good fighter, 21 defences is not something you see everyday. To move up and capture a middleweight title make him all the more impressive. He then ran into one of the greatest middleweights off all time and was picked apart. No shame in that. Two years out and he came back to beat Mayourga, ok wasn't at natural weight for Ricardo, but still good first fight back. He then lost to another p4p fighter at the time, Winky Wright in another one side fight. No answer to the jab in what was probably Winkys best performance. The Jones fight was stupid the size difference was to much. He had power in both hands and an underated defence. Just seemed to struggle with the bigger fighter as he couldn't bully them.
