I'm sorry but Felix Trinidad = one the most overrated fighters in recent history.

    What did people see in him that made him so "special"? Most of his so called "title defeses" at WW were against washed up fighters. Tito is one of the most overrated fighters in recent history. When he did step up he lost badly and didn't win more than a handful of rounds (Hopkins, De La Hoya, Wright, Jones). He was a one dimensional, flat footed, solely relied on left hook, couldn't move backwards, no lateral movement type fighter. What gives??

    He had no Chin and was as one dimensional as it gets.

    He didnt do to bad against Roy Jones out side of the knock downs that fight was closer than I thought it would be....

    You think Tito was still in his peak vs Way past his prime Jones? If so then you are an idiot.

    He had decent skills and a good punch and beat good boxers but he was not as good as you would think going by what people say. DLH boxed the **** out of him, that was when it hit home for me. Still, he was great for the sport and had a great career.

    It's a shame Cotto does not get the same support Tito did IMO, he is a warrior and a great face of boxing.

    I am sorry but you are a hater. Tito did 21 defenses. He started losing when he stopped training hard and went up to weight classes where he didn;t belong. Just like DLH did against Hopkins. If you cant see you should go watch some other sport.

    Go check DLH record. Go see how many times he fought guys Tito had already beaten. Tito also ruined Vargas nd Joppy's careers.

    They were both past their Prime but that version of Jones was awful and he schooled Tito.

    You realize that fight was 170 pounds right? Is that Tito's weight? And did Trinidad look atleast in good shape? And wasn't Trinidad coming off close to a 3 year of retirement?
