Where on earth are you going to find 3 judges to score a fight against Canelo?
Couldn't even find 3 judges to do that against Floyd FFS!
True but that’s a different issue.
Good post. Trinidads conditioning was legendary. And Canelo operates 100% for only 50% of the rounds. A decision is very plausible thinking of it that way.

Nelo doesn't have the gas tank to box for a full 12 rounds. Tito can still crack at 160 and is relentless. It took B-Hop 12 rounds to put him away after putting on a clinic because Trinidad kept coming. Canelo is no Hopkins nor Winky Wright for that matter. He isn't knocking Tito out either. Felix wins on activity because thus far Canelo has shown to be defensively responsible despite being aggressive and has a great chin at 160.

I recall Oscar running for the last four rounds doing absolutely nothing but literally running.
The rounds before he literally stayed in the perimeter jump in with a flurry, kissing half his punches. He would then immediately jump back out to the perimeter. He repeated three four times a round. Tito was Landing and pressuring as well.
Oscar saves enough gas to survive. He got the decision he deserved. And earned...
It was Oscar that ended up looking stupid for his stupid strategy.
Oscar won 7 of the first 8 and at least 1 of the last 4, IMO. Tito threw less than 500 punches and landed only 166. Oscar threw almost 200 more and landed nearly 100 more. Not the biggest robbery I've seen but the wrong man was given the decision that night. It happens.
Why dismiss the Oscar fight? Tito was made to look stupid in that one. Hell I guess I answered my own question.

Canelo is 100 times better then freaking Joppy man
Take it easy man. Your doing to much. Should have stopped at he is better. 100 times? Not even close
Tito lost with ATG's... not an easy task for anyone.
He also challenged ATGs by moving up to their weight class. This welterweight animal challenged Roy jones at 170ish and lived to tell about about it. Its like Floyd challenging Andre Ward. Floyd did even want to go 160. I don’t blame him at all. His 0 would have disappeared. Just like titos. Does that make Tito a bad fighter? Nah. It just puts Trinidad higher on the totum poll when it comes to ATGs.
Joppy would beat Canelo and Golovkin. He would be a top P4P fighter if he fought in this era.
I agree with this post. Stopping a 47 year old Roberto Duran and that guy from The Contender, along with his MD over Howard Eastman are the things that true all-time great legends are made of.
I find it offensive and unfathomable that Joppy is not in the HOF.
easily outboxed? who outboxed him? please don't call Oscars strategy out boxing.. otherwise he was beaten by wright, Hopkins and jones. but he wasn't outboxed just beaten.
Trinidad boxed with the best. see the sweet pea fight. Pernell ended up with a broken jaw. easily outboxed is stretch if you ask me.

Anyone who thinks Canelo would even have a chance to beat Trinidad at 160 didn’t watch what Trinidad did to William Joppy.
Lol. Canelo has proven to be 10x the fighter that Joppy ever was. Shiiiiit, at least Canelo can see out of both eyes easily enough. The hell is wrong with you bro?
Trinidad is one of the most overrated fighters in the history of the sport.
I kind of think so too. He was pretty good but he wasn't particularly special.
