    Tito is a good win, even of it turned out that he was nothing special once he faced guys his own size. Examples of this are dime a dozen - fighter kills himself to make weight whIle he is young to beat up boxers smaller than him. Once he gets older and moves up, his fabled punching power dissappears and he is reduced to using his technique to win. Some do well, ie. Mayweather, Tony, Bhop, some do poorly ie Chavez Jr Tito Margarito

    You could argue that his best wins are Tarver and Pascal.

    I would say his best 4 wins are easily Tarver, Pascal, Pavlik and Wright. Tito and Hoya are next. Joppy and Holmes after that.

    He was clowned by Jones and Kovalev, his top competition. He only beat Jones when he was shot.

    Trinidad is better than Kovalev could ever hope to be. So is Winky Wright. I'd even add Jermain Taylor's name to that list...

    You're lost. Trinidad at 160 is nowhere near as good as Kovalev. Neither is wright a 160 pounder.

    Kovalev you see wasn't dragged up.

    LOL.

    Trinidad's best win @ 160 didn't come against a *50* year old man. Trinidad is a LEGITIMATE ATG. Kovalev is NOT.

    Trinidad >>> Kovalev

    It's you who's lost. You're arguing with nay_sayer, he won just by virtue of not being on your ignore list yet.

    Bhop ended his career w that brutal beatdown. Trinidad was never the Same.
    It was one of the single greatest performances of acting to get the fight and execution of a gameplan during the fight.
    Right there with Mosley vs margarito and crawford vs postol.

    If Golovkin brutalises Canelo and Saul retires, would you **** on that victory as well?

    Sure it does. Your conspiracy theory of how 3 rival promoters and 5 rival fighters all came together to make GGG-Brook.

    Serious question...are you one of those 9-11 truther idiots??

    I think Tarver was drained.

    His fight against Winky wasn't great. Winky was a prime JMW who fought Bernard at 170.

    Keith Holmes was a good fighter.

    I think his best win was probably Tito.
