    Trinidad has been down many many times in his career. Although, I've never seen him seriously hurt. I don't think I would go so far as to say he has a glass jaw, but he got caught cold early very often.

    I'm guessing you missed RJJ vs Tito?

    Trinidad put in a half decent showing considering Roy was the much bigger man, and the lay off time. That was not a disgrace.

    I love Tito. I just wish he'd hang up the gloves.

    I'm as big a Tito fan you'll find...and I couldn't agree more...Pavlik hurts him at this point, and that's something I'd rather not see

    Agreed...no disgrace at all...he had no business fighting at 170 to begin with

    If he is intent on making it back to the ring, who would you prefer he fight? I think the problem is he only does it for a big purse. DLH rematch? I think Oscar would be more dangerous at 160 than we saw him against Pac.

    Actually if he is fat, wouldn't that make him 3 dimensional? :think

    I'd rather not see him in the ring at all...even if he could get down to 160.. I'm not sure he's just fighting for a big purse, I think he still believes he's the old Tito and he can hang with the top-level guys..If he fights, I'll watch, no question...but I'm not picking him to beat any of the top guys

    Think he just misses the limelight then? I guess I can understand that. It must be hard in a business that thrives on celebrity, these guys have to retire relatively young, long before they can let go in their minds.
