Trinidad back in 2009 - Who should he fight?

[MarksMan]

i think a tune up fight is a must if he is serious about returning. after that i could see the pavlik fight happening. and i actually see tito bein able to stop kelly.

[own]

tito would get ****ed up at any weight by just about any relevant fighter.

he is way past his prime and needs to stop dreaming.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Taylor's actually a good option for Tito. One that I might actually see Tito having a chance in.

But that probably wouldn't bring enough money to the table. More likely, he'd go straight for Calzaghe and get shutout again.

I thinkk if he went RIGHT for Calzaghe, he'd get destroyed (by Calzaghe standards) But, if he fought in Puerto Rico with a guy like Taylor, he'd have a legit chance at making just enough, if he saw the bigger picture.

Right now, the best fight for him would be at Jermain Taylor. With that win (if he got it), he could potentially be enough to get Joe Calzaghe interested in him. He's old enough.

Haha. In all seriousness though, Taylor would actually be a good option for Trinidad, I just don't think he is capable of even making 168. He should probably just stay out. I don' think he can hang with anyone at 175.

[THe TRiNiTY]

What I don't understand is why EVERYONE is so hard on Trinidad. He actually looked decent against Roy. Roy is just a bigger guy, who played safe, didn't open up and was far less rusty. At 168, I don't see why people think 'Tito' couldn't at least hold his own.

The weight might be the only problem. Though, I'm sure the fighters would be willing to go to 170 from 168 (which he did make) in order to get the payday and the shot at beating a legend.

I agree. I just don't think that Tito thinks big picture. I think if he comes back it will be a superfight, if there's any left.

The only thing Trinidad will be fighting against this year is ******** ***********.

lol.


I would like to see him one last time on regular tv against someone really beatable so he can retire with a win...

Maybe against Pantera?

I think he could hold his own, but he doesn't want to face the guys he could maybe beat aka Taylor, Froch, Kessler. He only wants the paycheck fights.

Yes Pantera is perfect!!!

I agree with that now that you said it. Let's see a couple more Tito knockout shots before he leaves.
