Short Trinidad Essay

Tito has to be ranked in the top 10 fighters of this era, He held titles in 3 different weight classes, holds the record for most Championship defenses as a Welter as well, he fought all the top guys of his era. He fought guys that were undeafeated like Oba Carr, Yuri Boy Campas, Reid, Vargas, DLH, how can he not be ranked in the top ten, at 147/154 he was king, 160 Berard was and I think still is the man.

Tito is a badass.

This is the one.

:D well done

Congrats, Bro! Better yet. My professor said that although she thought that Trinidad was not that great(she said she was more into the 70's era with Foreman, Frazier, and Ali), my essay was strong enough to make her reconsider and think about Trinidad's achievements.

yeah i agree with that guy. i dont think Tito top 10 in this era

Score just in. I got 48 out of 50 for the essay. Congrats, Bro!

If you have not turned in your paper, here are a few revisions for consideration. Constructive criticism and only that, nothing personal, just trying to help you out bro. When discussing the premier boxers of the current era, every fan of the sport has an opinion, and many times these opinions are as different as night and day. Out of that group of elite athletes, appears Felix Trinidad, a boxer who in the opinion of many, lacks the essential boxing skills that define greatness. Well, the reality is that Felix Trinidad is one of the top five “pound for pound” fighters of the last decade. There is no denying that he has the credentials to be considered an all time great and also to earn a spot in the prestigious, International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York. “What has Felix Trinidad done to be considered an all time great?” This is a question that skeptics love to bring to the table. How about becoming a five time world champion in three weight divisions? Not only did Trinidad achieved this, but he did it by facing the highest level of opposition available in his sport. He fought thirty six times as a welterweight, three times as a junior middleweight, and five times as a middleweight. His excellent record of 42 wins, against only 2 losses, with 35 wins by knockout is indicative of his undeniable quality as a fighter. His performance in the ring is only surpassed by his resume. From 1993 to 1999, Felix Trinidad, was the IBF welterweight champion of the world. Some of his early victories, which helped to cement his legacy, were against the likes of boxing legend, Hector “Macho” Camacho and multi division champion, Oscar De La Hoya. Trinidad’s fight with the latter, gave him the WBC welterweight championship of the world and jumpstarted his reputation as one of the best boxers on the planet. As if being the unified welterweight champion of the world was not enough, Felix Trinidad also decided to embark on a journey to become the unified junior middleweight champion of the world. First, he faced undefeated WBA champion, David Reid. Trinidad outclassed him and took away the title with a unanimous decision victory. Nine months later, he stepped into the ring against undefeated IBF champion, “Ferocious” Fernando Vargas, in a unification bout. The winner of the fight could claim to be the best fighter in the division. In an unforgettable back and forth war, Trinidad was the winner and, thus, became one of the top fighters in the world. Felix Trinidad’s next step towards immortality, was his participation in a tournament to determine who was the best middleweight on the planet. In his first fight as a middleweight, he easily demolished the WBA champion, William Joppy. This was the fifth world title captured by Trinidad. Unfortunately, he lost that title and his undefeated record against the current undisputed middleweight champion of the world, Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins. After the loss, Trinidad retired, only to return two years later. In the second stage of his career, he won one fight by knockout and lost the next one by unanimous decision. Still, after that last loss, Felix Trinidad deserves all the credit in the world for what he has done in his stellar career. The aforementioned facts speak for themselves. The accomplishments of Felix Trinidad are carved in stone and nobody can deny the magnitude of them. He is one of the greatest Hispanic fighters of all time and definitely one of the top five boxers of his era. Warriors like Trinidad, only come every once in a while, and we have been fortunate to have witnessed an all time great as he achieved greatness. I was going to tell him the same thing but you beat me to it. :D

Thanks for some of the props, guys. It's nice to know that some have appreciated my essay.

i believe what makes a fighter an all time great is when he overcomes adversity and defeats, and Tito hasn't been able to do that, he has not corrected his flaws and hasn't shut his critics. He doesn't deserve hall of fame unless he continous to fight and beat Winky who i believe is very beatable and fight bernard hopkins again, after becoming champion he should defend his belt atleast 7 times, after that if he retires he can be in the hall of fame.

maybe top 10. Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, Oscar De La Hoya, and Sweet Pea def. are ahead of him in my. book and i could go down in weight and add more.

tito is a hall of famer and one of the top fighters of this era he fought top competition never ducking anybody and he was one of the most devestating fighters of this era tito ended careers look at reid,vargas,joppy they were never the same after they fought tito . alot of people say that tito can't box and is overrated but his record is 42-2 and the two looses came to top p4p guys tell me someone who does not have hopkins and winky in their top 5 p4p right now ? ....people that don't give tito credit are just hating .

what course you write a boxing essay for?

Are you talking about DLH or Trinidad??? In in for the money??? hmmm...gets KTFO then signs the guy to his promotional company (made a cd,clothing line), it wasn't for the money right??? I'm sure his fans didn't enjoy that one, what about the ass whoopin from Sturm before that, yet they gave him the gift..his fans really loved that one...Oh and let's not talk about the marathon he ran against Trinidad... See? Your opinion on Trinidad seems like it could work for DLH too. Don't ya think??? The comeback was a little shady to answer your ??? Wait till money starts running low again.

The only thing I like of Oscar is his ambition. P.S Millie is fine!

I am not a Tito fan but that is a well written article.. Congratulations.. I can tell that you put alot of heart and effort into it.. With all due respect though, I think it's unfair to put Tito as a top 5 fighter of his era.. I don't even think he cracks the Top ten of his era!! WOW!!! Hey somebody get a camera QUICK!!! As214 just said it was a well written article to a PUERTO RICAN!!! Do I sense some hate finally leaving????

Well written article Tito is one of the fighters that sping to mind as true stars of the Game. For example Tito, along with Gatti spring to mind when talking about Fights of the Year. I think we need to put things into context however and I will list them in particular order just fighters who stand out in my lifetime that I have seen live or on TV, Trindad, Julian Jackson, Terry Norris, Julio Cesar Chavez, Mike Tyson, Naseem Hamed, Arturo Gatti these guys are not the best boxers but certainly are Hall of Fame fighters unlike Johnny Nelson, Marlon Starling, Winky Wright, Bernard Hopkins to name just a few who I could not care less if they were fighting King Kong it would still be a boring fight. Wright beat Trindad does not make him a legend just a good boxer. If he beats Hopkins then deserve a place.
