Pipino Cuevas vs Felix Trinidad @147

He accomplished a lot 6 yrs 8 months as Champion and 15 defenses at WW.
But elite to me is Sugar Ray Leonard or Thomas Hearns , Henry Armstrong.

 

Do you feel that anyone that isn't "elite" can't contend with or beat said fighters? Is everyone else just circumspect or what?

 

Cuevas

 

Straight punches beat hooks to the button every day of the week.....Trinidad by stoppage

 

Good breakdown, JC.

 

I think Tito would wreck him. Aggressive fighters were Tito’s bread and butter. Hard to come into Tito’s wheelhouse and better him.

 

Felix Tito Trinidad wins this one by a TKO 10. Pipino Cuevas though a very hard puncher would be fighting a very talented boxer puncher in Tito, who would not stand and trade with Cuevas. Felix would keep Pipino at the end of his left jab, firing combinations in the center of the ring, not allowing Cuevas to get close.After such a display of boxing skill, Tito catches an exhausted Pipino with a very jarring right hand that staggers Cuevas and lands him in a neutral corner, the referee stops the contest. Tito is not Miguel Angel Campanino or Billy Backus.

 

Tito sends him to the slaughterhouse.

 

Tito turns him into a Cucumber, true meaning, his last name is a Cave in Spanish.

 

His name is Pineapple Cave?

 

A Pipino is a Cucumber in Spanish, a Pina is a Pineapple.

 

I don't think that makes it any better.

 

Lol so true, Ha Ha.
