    Nowhere in my post did i say he wasnt an ATG tho, i just wanted to know what others thought. I decided Felix because i dont see many threads on him and, and my main curiosity was the fact i see many other ATG torn down by people so i wondered if this is just what happens here in general or if it was because those other ATG are always in the headlights.

    yeah he is an ATG im not sure where maybe in top 50-75. imo he retired to early, in his twenties i believe but correct me if im wrong, could have acheived much more and the fight against jones was just a payday nobody actually thought he would win

    Trinidad was so good, that people keeps making threads about him long after his retirement. He losses came fighting at weights were he never belonged.
    But Tito's fame had little to do with his fights, Tito's fame was because he was such a good guy. Outside the ring Tito was everybody's favorite brother.

    I so agree with that completely. I am not the type of guy to say that this fighter got robbed or the judges were blind. I understand that scoring is subjective, but really how they did sweet pea in the Ramirez, Chavez, and DLH fights is unforgivable. It's like judges didn't like it when he schooled mexican fighters or something. Anyway the first decisive and noncontroversial lost that sweet pea had was against Tito.

    nice video tito was good but somehow i still feel like he couldve done a lot more if it wasnt for his problems with don king.. he was inactive for a long period.. and he shouldve fought, mosley, terry norris, quartey and a rematch with DLH.. all those fights he wouldve won and wouldve gave him a bigger legacy but king didnt make them even though tito kept asking for them
