Felix Trinidad ATG or not?

Top 70 IMO

 

I think that Trinidad is an ATG. He unified the titles with De La Hoya at welterweight and was a multiple weight division champion.

 

No doubt. 3 div champ, 15 title defenses of his WW title, tremendous power, one of PR"S greatest.

 

I think so:

Won his first 40 fights and won titles in 3 Divisions before losing to a TOP-5 ALL-Time Middleweight in Bernard Hopkins...

In his prime ONLY lost to Defensive Wizards in BHOP and Winky Wright...

Resume includes:
Pernell Whitaker
Yori Boy Campus (undefeated)
Oscar DeLahoya (undefeated)
Fernando Vargas (undefeated)
David Reid (undefeated)
Oba Carr (undefeated)
Bernard Hopkins
Winky Wright
Roy Jones

Over 20 championship fights
Defended the welterweight title 16 times

He and Manny are my 2 favorite fighters of recent memory, because they seem to like taking on challenges and picking on possibly more than they can chew

Top 50 - 60 fighter of all time for me

 

If you easily remembers his name once you talk about boxing, yes.
He was above ordinary in this sport.

 

I think so, you don't go 40-0 and win titles in three divisions before losing a fight facing the best opponents available by chance.

How high on ATG list he goes I don't really know because I don't have enough knowledge on boxing to make a decision like that, but I do think I can say he belongs with them from what I do know.

 

:dealSimple as that.

 

ATG at 147

 

He was a one trick pony BUT he did set the boxing world a light during his best years.

Would he have ( at least ) a shot at KOing any welter in history , Yes

I guess he's an all timer , Hall of fame worthy

 

Probably ranks around 70-80 in the all-time list. A great, and a certain first ballot HOFer.

 

ATG: @ 147lbs

 

Tito and Oscar put WW back in the map. They came in a time when all the money was for heavyweights. That enough should put both of them up there. Then, you have his records. In my eyes, Tito only lost at weight classes where he really didn't belong. His fight against DLH I had him winning just like one of the judges by 1 point. God only knows what got into Oscar's head in those last three rounds.

I also wonder what got into Oscar's head in his fight against Floyd. I think he was dominating with his jab. Then, the jab disappeared.

 

one of the best ww and finshers of our time
