View Full Version : Will you finally consider Trinidad top 5?
Exciterx24 04-26-2005, 05:24 PM We are less than three weeks from the anticipated, Trinidad vs. Wright matchup and I must say that I can't wait. Wright has seen his stock rise after beating a blown up Shane Mosley in consecutive fights. Still, I do not want to discredit Wright, who is one of the best technical boxers in the sport right now.
Trinidad needs no introduction. He is a devastating puncher who has faced and beat most of the best boxers of his era. If he beats Wright in convincing fashion, will you put him in your top five P4P list?
Super_Lightweight 04-26-2005, 05:27 PM Well I do not see why not. Tito is not really that much bigger than Wright so I suppose it's fair to put Tito at number 5 if he wins. I don't think a win for him is a given though. Wright is pretty damned crafty. :boxing:

Trinidad really lost to DLH, and was brutally beaten by Hopkins. So badly in fact, that he ran back to Puerto Rico because the manhood was beaten out of him. He will never be a top 5 P4P fighter with that mentality!!
SacTown1 04-26-2005, 05:28 PM yeah I'd make him top 5, after Floyd and B-Hop at #1 and #2 there's a big drop-off, you could make an argument for Tito being #3 if he demolishes Winky

i think that exciterex said 5 because most of us here have hops/may/erik and marco top 4 - so yeah, hell yeah if tito beats winky in very convincing fashion then he'd have to be put at 5.
SacTown1 04-26-2005, 05:33 PM gotcha....here's another what if:
If (and when) Floyd destroys Gatti, will he be the consensus #1 P4P???
Or do we need to wait to see how B-Hop handles Taylor to make the pick???
Super_Lightweight 04-26-2005, 05:35 PM We need to wait and see how Hops handles Taylor. Boxrec says the fight is on but who the hell really knows? Anyone? Also, Gatti is so much bigger than Floyd so he has a chance to KO Floyd. However, if Floyd wins it was a given and he will get limited credit for it.
legend 04-26-2005, 05:38 PM If Trinidad ****s Winky up pretty good, I'll consider him one of the top P4P, depending on the outcomes of other fights like Gatti-Mayweather, Castillo-Corrales, etc.
Shaolin Bushido 04-26-2005, 05:39 PM He'd be the man at jr middle and would definitely be top 5 in my book or thereabouts. I'd be anticipating him fighting Ouma to remove any doubt that lingered.
Think that'd happen?
Super_Lightweight 04-26-2005, 05:41 PM Personally, I cannot even think about how awesome a fight between Tito and Ouma would be. Ouma is one of my favorite fighters. He is badass stone cold.

Yeah, does anyone know what the deal is with a Hopkins-Taylor fight. Call me crazy but I think Taylor will take it to him.
Shaolin Bushido 04-26-2005, 05:43 PM Yeah, does anyone know what the deal is with a Hopkins-Taylor fight. Call me crazy but I think Taylor will take it to him.
You crazy!
PapiShasho 04-26-2005, 05:43 PM in my opinion he's definitely in the top ten already...if he beats winky, and then goes on to beat hopkins, i'd put him up there.
The Fix 04-26-2005, 05:45 PM my top 10 p4p
PBF
B-HOP
ZOO
MAB
Winky
Morales
JMM
Zab Judah
PacMan
Jose Luis Castillo
border line: joel casamayor, diego corrales, antonio tarver, glen johnson, and rafeal marquez
if tito wins,which he wont, he would enter my top 10 but prob around 6-8.
The Fix 04-26-2005, 05:48 PM Yeah, does anyone know what the deal is with a Hopkins-Taylor fight. Call me crazy but I think Taylor will take it to him.
i think so too, hopkins has to fall off sometime and who better to take his place then taylor. i want to see taylor vs tito if hopkins losses to taylor.
jack_the_rippuh 04-26-2005, 05:49 PM I'm not sure if Ouma can actually stand in front of Trinidad and do what he normally does in the face of such fast, accurate, and powerful punching. Some of you may say he did that against Jantuah, but Jantuah, for the most part isn't such an accurate puncher. Trinidad is extremely accurate, but it would be a match made in heaven, only if Ouma can stand up to Trinidad's bombs.
borikua 04-26-2005, 06:43 PM Trinidad should get Winky's spot in most P4P list...

well he hasnt really
fught much lately
so not yet
once he starts doing it
again yeah he was always in my p4p
until he retired
Zab Super Judah 04-26-2005, 07:33 PM not alot of people know this but FELIX TRINIDAD IS my ALL TIME FAVORITE FIGHTER...........but beating winky would not make him top 5....becuase winky is not a legit middleweight......winky is a very good boxer but trinidad needs t o fight hopkins to be one of the best
