''I think Felix Trinidad is a potential superstar. I thought that finish was of the ilk of a Suger Ray Robinson. I thought Felix was phenomenal. He got knocked down with a short punch by Campas, and when he got up, he went to work calculating and methodically, with the left hooks and right hands hitting right on the button, and beat his man into submission.
''We've got great plans for him''

Tito is a ATG. I cound't belive it when Bert Randolpth Sugar didn't have him in his top 100 fighters list, he never even put him on the nearly list. WTF.
Trinidads accomplishments speak for themselves......

Unifed 147 and 154 Champion as well as a winning a Title at 160
3 Losses all came against future Hall Of Famers.
This was a great learning experience for Trinidad. The fight was fought at close quarters and Campas was right in his chest brawling, possibly Trinidad's first wild brawl. I think it was a preview of the things that would be seen from Trinidad in the future.
Trinidad's win over Campas is a underrated one. Campas was 56-0, and would go on to capture the IBF 154 Title.
And, I believe Campas had 50kos at the time aswell. Tito was a beast as a young WW.
