he only has 3 fights at middle joppy/hopkins/mayorga
1. Joppy is shit and has always been shit look at his record really he got anybody on it? maybe 1 or 2 just maybe
2. mayorga is a fellow blown up welterwieght himself in his first middleweight fight..
3. tito's only real middle weight fight.... he got owned
i dont think tito is really gonna last at middle with big guys like taylor or sturm or joe cal if he comes down.
im not saying tito is overrated just his power at middle
ya
I have Trinidads whole career on dvd
I like Tito and i dont really like oscar but i'd have to give that fight to DLH
Did u not watch that joppy fight? Joppy wasnt shit, ppl think he's shit cuz the way trinidad destroyed him. I used to like Taylor, but since his win over joppy, wasnt to impressed. Sturm looked good against DLH cuz uhh DLH SUCKED at middleweight. But still a great fighter, would like to see more out of him
umm i dont think tito fought them guys at 160 either... and why r u guys ripping taylor and sturm in this topic? i dont see anywhere in my title of the thread that has there names?
OMG, I think I just peed my pants this is so funny. Do you want a list of boxers Tito has beaten? Ok, here you go:
1. Oscar De la Hoya
2. Pernell Whitaker (one of the greatest all-time pure boxers)
3. Hector "Macho" Camacho (a great stylist)
4. David Reid (considered a great boxer before Trinidad dismantled him)
All these fighters lost to Trinidad and all of them had better boxing skills than both of these clowns. Don't get me wrong, I love Taylor and think he will be the next great at 160, but only after Tito and Hopkins are out of the picture.
Winky is considered to have good boxing skills and a great defense. Let's see what Tito can do there and then you can tell me if you think he would beat these two or not.
The DLH fight should have been scored a draw...
Pernell Whitaker was beyond shot when he fought Tito...and out of his natural weight class.
Camacho just sucked.
Reid was fucked anyway because of his eye ailment. This was however a good win.
ya stupid. If Tito faught Sterm or Taylor he would lose a lopsided fight.
Do you think that Taylor and Sterm are the only ones that DONT know that Tito has power???? You think they are just going to slg it out with him???? Only if they are retarted. Sterm and Taylor would just Jab all night to a decision. Tito cant handle boxers, and im pretty sure Sturm and taylor wont go crazy over night and try to slug it out

Taylor and Sturm have never faced any1 like tito. Sturm beat an out of shape Dlh and people think hes good. He also beat Cherifi but thats the same guy they make fun of trinidad for fighting. People make fun of tito for beating Joppy or dont look high upon that win, but i would say the 2001 version on Joppy was better than the 2004 version that taylor faced and taylor couldnt even ko him. Joppy is taylors biggest win and every other fighter hes faced wasnt a legitamite 160 pounder. If trinidad faced that same quality of opponents he would be considered the best cuz he would have a 100% ko percentage.
To prove Tito has power at 160 who does he have to knockout? Joppy was the 2nd best middleweight at the time, had one major belt and never got beat that bad. Cherifi is a legitamate 160 pounder. Mayorgas not a legitamate 160 pounder, but he has a better chin, lasted longer than Joppy and Cherifi almost combined and would in my opinion beat them both. He lost to B-Hop, big deal he lost to a guy who is concidered the best #for# and hasnt lost in what, over 10 years. So losing to the best makes you not worthy of being in the same weight class? If thats true no one is allowed to be in 154 or 147.
Yeah...I'm crazy...
Those guys are not the ELITE type of boxer who will trouble Trinidad for very long.
NEITHER has faced anyone who has Tito's sophisticated weaponry, either.
He'd KO them both in 8 or 9.

can any of u prove that he fought cheriffi at middle?
Joppy is a joke was he every rated so high is beyond me
took him 8 rounds to get rid of a guy in his first middleweight fight
lost to hopkins..
Yes, I saw the fight. Look at the weighins, Cherifi was 160 and Tito was 158, if I remember correctly. I have the fight at home and can verify these for you if you'd like.
Tito has enough power to hurt most guys at 160. He'll have trouble if the other guy doesnt stand in and trade like Mayorga did. The real question is can he keep the natural 160 pound guys off of him like he COULDNT do against Hopkins.
Your first & last sentences pretty much contradict each other.
There is not a 160lber who punches like Tito. Hopkins is a better fighter than Trinidad.
Sturm & Taylor are not better fighters than trinidad. He'd KO both of them.
All everyone talks about is how easily Hopkins beat Trinidad. I'd be willing to bet that both Sturm & Taylor do worse against the 2005 version of Hopkins, than Tito did against the 2001 version.
can any of u prove that he fought cheriffi at middle?
Are you serious? How can you argue this? It's undeniable fact. I saw the fight.
I think I see where you're coming from, though. I mean, after all, Trinidad's power pales in comparison to Felix Sturm's. That fella is an absolute terror.

that is exactly why i asked if his power was overrated for middle
