This is true that you can apply this logic to anyone's career. But Trinidad was carefully matched, was lucky to get away with a win against Oscar and every other time he stepped up was found wanting.

Matched against paper greats like Yory Boy Campas and Oba Carr.

If you have seen Trinidad is wars with Vargas, Joppy, Reid, Carr and Campas, then you would know that he was not mentally weak. He cleaned out the welterweight division, junior middleweight division and was starting to concur middleweight before he ran into a blizzard in Hopkins. He fought everyone that was around.

I would say that he was tough both mentally and physically but not a very smart fighter. He would keep following the gameplan until the end even if he was losing lopsidedly.

The problem with Trinidad was his inability to adapt.

De La Hoya was robbed, and he was the first person of note that Trinidad faced who wasn't a former lightweight.

Umm... De La Hoya was a former lightweight

I agree, he sometimes had the habit of following his opponent when being outboxed, just as the case with De La Hoya( a fight i thought he lost) and Hopkins. He did well with other boxers like Carr, Vargas, Reid and Joppy but technically you could make a case for them not being on the skill level of Hopkins or Oscar, although Vargas wasn't that far from it in his prime.
