Felix Trinidad fought harder opposition in my opinionComment

I dunno you should take a better look at Tito's resume and then look at the reumes of some of his earlier opponents and you will see he built himself up on alot of guys with blown up records like Kevin Lueshing, Ray Lovato, Larry Barnes, Luis Gabriel Garcia, etc etc etc.
When you take these away and you take away his losses (Wright & Hopkins) his resume is alot more scant.
The win over Whitaker was 2 years after De La Hoya beat Whitaker, and Whitaker was already on the slide at that point.
Oba Carr when you look at his record you see he was oba-rated.
Pineda was just a contender nothing more. Same thing with Thaim. Mayorga was tailor made for Trinidad.
Basically Trinidad's top 5 is
1. Oscar De La Hoya (everyone knows how that one went though)
2. Fernando Vargas
3. Pernell Whitaker (because of the state he was in)
4. Hector Camacho
5. Maurice Blocker or William Joppy
Other notables
avid Reid (still young), Yori Boy Campas (Largely puffed up record), Ricardo Mayorga
Not exactly a resume I would say was clearly besting Floyd's.Comment

Not a single person thought Hopkins had a better resume than Mayweather...Comment

Active:
De La Hoya
Mosley
Wright
Hopkins
Taylor
Trinidad
Taking away losses and draws I still dont see how you can put floyd ahead of taylor or hopkins or wright. And if he counts holyfield definetely is up there. Though I dont like him, floyd does a decent resume.Last edited by brian99; 05-18-2007, 11:58 AM.Comment

-DLH has a better resume than Mayweather.
-The only name on Mosley's record is DLH and Mayweather just beat him. Forrest has really fallen off since beating Mosley and Vargas was done when Mosley got to him.
-Winky Wright has made his name fighting smaller men. Mayweather has made his name fighting bigger men. I give the edge to Mayweather.
-Hopkins resume is terrible. All he is known for is his 20 defenses. Another fighter who picked on smaller men to make his name.
-Taylor has a good resume for being such a young fighter, but every single fight against a top opponent has been disputed. Mayweather has dominated everyone.
-I think Trinidad and Mayweather have about the same level of opposition, but Mayweather is more accomplished.Comment
