Felix "Tito" Trinidad (42-3, 35KOs) is looking to possibly return to more times in 2009 before calling it a career. Trinidad recently took a trip to Panama to attend the WBA's annual festival against drugs.

Trinidad wants the first opponent to be Bernard Hopkins, who faces Kelly Pavlik on October 18 in Atlantic City. Since his 2001 knockout loss to Bernard, the Puerto Rican star has been on a mission to get the chance for revenge. Trinidad has fought once since 2005, losing a twelve-round decision to Roy Jones Jr. in January.

Who Made the Bigger Statement This Weekend? Benavidez or Haney?

David Benavidez took over his fight in the middle rounds, but how did he do it, and what does it mean for his next move? Should fans want Benavidez against Zurdo Ramirez or a massive showdown with Canelo Alvarez?

"I'll possibly have two more fights in 2009," Trinidad told El Nuevo Dia. "I want to fight Hopkins, but he wont give me a rematch because he is afraid of me."

"It wanted to fight with him, but me not the revenge wants to give because is afraid me", affirmed.  Hopkins defeated to Trinity in the 2001. 

The second fight would be a rematch with Oscar De La Hoya. The De La Hoya rematch will probably never happen. Trinidad last fought at 170 and can't squeeze down in weight any lower than 164, while De La Hoya refuses to fight above 154. Also, Trinidad wants a 50-50 split and that won't happen either.
