Felix trinidad

[Fiasco]

Trinidad doesn't even drink alcohol! My logic says that while Chavez was snorting coke he was beating everybody and their momma. So did Macho, Rosario, Tyson, Gomez, and a lot of other fighters. Don't try to take credit away from Tito because Sweet pea was Sweet for drugs. Take him out of Tito's record and he was still great.

It doesn't only have to do with drugs, but it has to do with him being way past his prime. How could you even compare that version of Whitaker to the one that fought Chavez?

[frankenfrank]

what does everyone think of him as a fighter and his style of fighting

does anybody no where he got the name tito from

all i know he was a cheater whom could always count on the advantage of having hardened wraps beneath his gloves and he also benefited from mayorga being an idiot in their fight.

I never did. Like I said, let's forget that Tito ever fought Whitaker. He is still the WW that defended his title the most. He fought everybody they put in front of him. When he moved up to 154 he fought the best at that weight, same when he moved up to 160. There he just bit off more than he could chew.

DLH had a "cushioned" career. He always made fighters get into a disadvantage to fight them. When he fought Tito, he had been trying to move to 154 but stayed because DLH was the biggest fight then. You're funny.

Tito was also very accurate puncher. But going to the wraps thing, Tito didn't use a hardened substance to wrap his hands like Resto or Margarito. That implies that he used something foreign and illegal.

Tito's handlers could've exchanged bags with any of his opponents and they would've had the same result because it was the method used not to wrap his hands which was questioned.

This method btw was only legal in the other states he fought in but not in Vegas. Also let us not forget that many fighters including DLH were called out and asked to rewrap their hands for having technically illegally wrapped there hands in a manner not complicit with the local sanctioning body.

There is a world of difference between DLH/Tito and Rest/Margarito.

De La Hoya's wraps gave him an extra knuckle.

Besides Whitaker, the best fighter he ever fought was De La Hoya and we all know that De La Hoya gave him a boxing lesson.

His whole career is tarnished, in my opinion. I suspect that it was not him that beat his opponents, but a combination of him and his "special" hand-wraps.

De La Hoya had a "cushioned" career? You couldn't be any more wrong.

De La Hoya fought the best opposition available. If we're talking about fighters with the best record of opponents fought (win or lose), De La Hoya's is one of, if not the, greatest.

Maybe ******* helped Whitaker, who knows? Tito fought all comers, the best available at 147-160, what else do you want? Also, DLH should've won if he didn't decide to run like a little ***** the last three rounds.

Trinidad didn't fight the best available. Of his 21 world title fights, only 9 of his fights were against top 10 ranked opponents.

Ask any non-biased fan who won the fight and they'll tell you that De La Hoya won.
