    Felix Trinidad (a.k.a the low blow bandit)

    Im watching the Trinidad v. Campas fight and its been years since i seen this fight and damn, i'am amazed just how many low blows Trinidad throws and how dirty of a fighter he is. I guess when i was a fan of his i let **** slide but man watching the fight today, right now, im amazed at how dirty of a fighter he is. And damn, he does have great punch technique.

    And in that same fight the ring anaylist said that Trinidad had to lose 3 and 1/2 pounds to make the 147 limit. People talk about Margarito or Mexican fighters in general as if they're the only ones that cut weight, where here you have Trinidad in his what 24 fight i think it was and he was already having weight problems.

    What i ****en ending to the fight. I think if Campas would or could have moved his head as Chavez did in his career he would have been a truly great fighter. But i still consider him a great fighter people say Trinidad ended peoples careers after he fought them. This is a myth. Campas still became a defending Champion even after he lost to Trinidad and moved up in weight to win a title.

    Respect to a warriror in Luis Ramon "Yory Boy" Campas.

    He also has his hands ridiculous taped up, and it helped him win against fighters his own size. But when he fought guys who were bigger then him, it didn't do much for him.

    I'm not puerto-rican and I know alot of puerto ricans love him, but if I was puerto rican I'd feel disgraced to have him as our boxer. Miguel Cotto is so much better in my personal opinion. I enjoy Miguel Cotto

      It's a shame you cant appreciate how great a fighter he was because he's Puerto Rican. It takes talent not to like this guy as a boxer or to appreciate how good he was.

          I kind of aggree on the wraps since so many have said similar. But i don't think Cotto is a better fighter at least yet. I thought for sure that Cotto would be a better fighter by now, but he still has a lot of flaws. If they were in the same division in time i have to say Trinidad would win.

            Cotto is a very good fighter but I have to wait until his career is over or near an end to say whether or not he could beat Tito. As of today Tito would beat him.

                So what, thats what most boxers do. It's quite intelligent, its a part of the game. But its really cheating when you tape your hands up as much as tito does

                  the way he wraps his hands is illegal even though a liason from the other fighters camp, and the state athletic commission have to sign on for them being legal before each of the bouts he was ever in?

                    His hands looked like they were tripple wrapped in the roy fight, and in the hopkins fight hopkins complained about trinidad doing it too. He does it, hes a cheater and we all know it. The camera doesn't lie. His freaking hands looked bigger then roys after he taped them up so much.
