    My favorite four are William Joppy, Ricardo Mayorga, Bernard Hopkins, and Ronald "Winky" Wright. These were the "Clash of the Titan" fights that were immensely exciting. It was hard to pick between these four, but I enjoyed his fight against Mayorga the most. I was rooting for Mayorga, and I was hoping Mayorga could just hit him flush one more time to slow him down. It never happened. Trinidad's stamina and left hook would outlast any fighter in the ring including the never before knocked down Mayorga. That was one of the most exciting fights in all of boxing history. Bob Costa who was a guest broadcaster for the fight was asked by Jim Lampley "so what do you think about boxing?" Costa's replied "I have to excuse myself to my friends at the Ryder's Cup, but this was a bit more exciting". Of course these were not the exact words since I'm going off memory, but those were effectively what he had said about that fight.

    Vargas by a distance
    Mayorga was an OK win but he would win that 99/100 Mayorga was just too crude
    Joppy was a good win at the time tho people seem to forget this

    Like Larry Merchant said in that fight.....

    "Watching Tito throw these kinds of punches, I can see what GOD had in mind when making a fighter."
