When Tito Isnt Allowed To Wrap Hands Illegally You See The Results

[The Troll]

He's 1-2, not 0-3 in his last 3 fights.

yeah but the point is that all his losses are in the last 5 fights of his career.

alright, this is for the Thread Starter...and EVERYBODY obsessed that Trinidad has illegal hand wrapping....

1) Trinidad was "NEVER" fined, suspended or disqualified...."EVER"!
2) Papa Trinidad uses more "TAPE" than gauge....the legal, authorized amount
3) Hopkins "ADMITTED" it was all his tactic to throw off Trinidad.
4) Trinidad exposes his wraps after "EVERY" bout, for one and all to see!

Tito lost to dudes bigger than he. That boy will be a first round Ballot into The International Boxing Hall of Fame! You don't have to be a fan, but no one will ever question Trindad's heart to fight dudes better than him.

If only other so called "pound-per-pound" fighter's would take on dudes that they know is high risk.

He is 5'11 and should have never started below 154, like many fighters he was starving himself to gain an advantage, no respect in that.

dude, that is irrelavent.

Antonio Margarito......5'11''...Welter Weight (over 10 years!)
Paul Williams.....6'1''.....Welter Weight
Kermit Cintron......5'11'.....Welter Weight

The shortest of the bunch.....Miguel Cotto, 5'7''! Even Andre Berto is taller than Cotto! So is Luis Collazo.

Bottom line...that is a typical height for a 147 Welter Weight.

First off Ive read Bouie Fisher as quoted saying he went into the dressing room and he made them rewrap in which Tito's camp said they had been wrapping like that forever, which was an illegal wrap, have read this online, this isnt a secret. If they were never wrapped illegally this would have never come out. Second it is a shame to see fighters starving themselves to gain an advantage, cant quite blame them but it is a shame. Oscar would have never been a HOF mention right now if he had started at 147, pure shame.

What are you talking about, are you looking at those heights in the WW division that guzi815 posted for you?

[machotime]

Overly wrapped doesnt mean they are wrapped wrong. After Jones camp made sure his hands were wrapped properly Roy knew it was ok to come forward the whole fight. Roy doesnt usually do that unless a fighter is already hurt, but he felt that Tito couldnt hurt him if his hands were wrapped properly, that Jones kid is a smart cookie.

There's nothing wrong with the way that Tito wraps his hands... Emmanuel Steward even stated that yes they were overwrapped, but its not illegal. B-Hop admitted that it was a tactic to distract Tito and psychologically redirect him from the fight.

Also, the reason why Jones came foward was because he was fighting a welter-weight that has always fought 3 whole weight divisions below him. Tito barely belonged at 160, why the hell should he be fighting a guy that competed at HW?

[guzi815]

ok bhamdog...still not convinced??

Here's another one for ya...

Thomas Hearns...6'1"!......Welter Weight
Mark Breland....6 foot TWO!!!!....Welter Weight!

damn, just thinking about Mark Breland....would've been nice to see him fight Paul Williams....the battle of the tallest Welter Weights!

[Tyson Jones]

It looked like another cast to me, tito has simply been fighting bigger guys who can take his punch...... He also didnt hit hopkins, winky or jones that much.

Ok so using that same lame theory, I guess Hopkins shouldnt be a HOF mention because he started at 160 and captured belts in 2 weight divisions just like Tito. Or better yet Marvin Hagler who only captured a belt at 160...

Hopkins didnt starve himelf to make 160.
