    One thing that stands out to me when I purchased his career set that doesn't get much mention is his boxing ability. I don't know if it was weight issues or if he just fell in love with his power. The Trinidad that fought on Showtime was a much better boxer then the guy I saw later in his career on HBO. Just one quick example was the Oba Carr fight, Trinidad is getting beat to the punch by Oba. Oba knocks Tito down. Tito gets up and makes a great adjustment, Tito gets on his toes and starts to use his jab and accurate long right cross to time Oba coming in.

    Tito was a much better boxer then I gave him creadit for in his early years.

    Trinidad was a hell of s fighter but DLH exposed him in my eyes. His poor footwork would do him in against anyone who had good boxing ability and was smart enough not to present a stationary target to him.

    Good stuff. Everyone knows he had power but you don't hear about this stuff.

    If you look at his footwork for the DLH fight and then his next fight against David Reid at 154 it was like night and day. really check it out for yourself.

    So he never beat anyone with "boxing ability"??

    Every Tito detractor on here says he couldn't beat a "boxer"...but what they fail to mention, and conveniently, is that, one you had to be one hell of a boxer yourself, one of the very best the world has to offer, and you had to be a bigger man, with DLH being the sole exception...

    He turned one dimensional towards the end of his career he was well rounded at 147, at 154/160 it was all about the left hook.Every fight he was in was action packed with the exception of DLH and outside of mosley he pretty much fought everybody
