    He is one of my top 10 favourite fighters, huge puncher, very exciting to watch, he used to get knocked down then get up and KO his opponent as if they just angered him, he had this robotic relentless style where by when he got into his rhythm he was extremely hard to stop, particularly because of his punching power along with that relentless aggression.

    My favourite fights of his is ..........Reid, Vargas, Joppy, favourite KO's Maurice Blocker, Luis Gabriel Garcia, Mahenge Zulu. Tito absolutely brutalized these guys. Y B Campas fight is a good fight to, Tito gets knocked down with a 6 inch inside left hook and then hammers Campas for it.

    He had his limitations but that is not why i follow fighters. I follow fighters that i love watching, not necessarily the best.

          He was fine as long as he got through the 2nd round! Used to amaze me that, how many times he hit the canvas in the 2nd must been 4+.
          Yes liked him a lot just went a weight too far IMO.

                  At his best Trinidad was a attacking boxer puncher, with heavy hands especailly left hook, argubaly one of the hardest single punchers in history.

                  Trinidad's left hook was the most feared punch since Thomas Hearns's right cross at 147. Tito threw the hook with bad intentions and perfect levrage, if it landed cleanly, the end was near.

                  Trinidad was always dangerous, particularly after being knockedown in his prime. And was one of the best finishers in the game when he had you hurt.

                  Trinidads record at 147 was 36-0 with 30 KO's. He made 15 defences of his IBF 147 Title and unifed the division. He became the first man to clealry beat Pernell Whiatker and gave the unbeaten Oscar De La Hoya his first loss.

                  He then moved up to 154 and took the unbeaten scalps of World Champions David Reid and Fernando Vargas in devastating fashion. Before moving up and destroying WBA Middleweight Champion William Joppy in 5 devastating rounds.

                  Going into his fight with Bernard Hopkins, Trinidads record stood at 40-0, and he was already a three weight world champion.

                  Trinidads Resume Of Wins
                  -Alberto de las Mercedes Cortes
                  -Maurice Blocker
                  -Hector Camacho
                  -Luis Ramon Campas (56-0)
                  -Oba Carr (32-0)
                  -Larry Barnes (39-1)
                  -Pernell Whitaker
                  -Oscar De La Hoya (31-0)
                  -David Reid (14-0)
                  -Fernando Vargas (20-0)
                  -William Joppy (32-1-1)
                  -Hacine Cherifi
                  -Ricardo Mayorga

                  Some people like to remember Trinidad for his recent form, were he suffered one sided defeats to Winky Wright and Roy Jones Jr. But at his best Trinidad was a forced to be reckoned with and his accomplishments speak for themselves.

                    True that, IMO if he'd have retired before the Hopkins fight, he'd have more stuff to brag about than Lil Floyd( talking about the undefeated record).
                    I wonder where the 40-0 would have ranked him in the ATG rankings.
