He actually moved his head and picked his spots and boxed and when he saw the opening for the left hook he went for it later on he started relying on his left hook much more but it wasnt always like that. Also saying he wasn't skillful is dumb he wouldn't be 42-3 at such a high level if he wasn't skillful
    Sorry but you can't convince me otherwise. Tito mightve looked better in his early fights but what good is it when you look like crap in your biggest fights? Nard and winky schooled the **** out of him as did Oscar, who could have ko'd him I'd he want an idiot.

    Ill give you this though, he had the heart of a lion and a punch that was out of this world that a lot of fighters could not keep up with.

      dont kno bout his biggest fights i mean he didnt look 2 good against dlh but still got the W weather you think he deserved it or not. His lack of skill like you say though was enough to get him through fernando vargas in a war and knockout middleweights. He might not be the greatest slickest boxer but he did have skills cause i dont believe anyone could get to such a high level even up to being 40-0 33ko's at one point and fighting the best not cab drivers if he didnt have atleast a little bit of skill. He would have been taken out along time ago i believe if it was like that.

        I understand what you're trying to say but I stand by my view, that being that felix Trinidad relied on his power and heart to win fights and not on an overall boxing skill set.

          Dude, what do you call accurate punching and having every combination in the book? That's skillset for ya.

          Felix is about as accurate as any puncher in the history of the sport and he threw some of the most beautiful combinations.

              You should have skills to beat Whitaker, don't you think? I have to agree when you say what happened with B-Hop and Oscar, you could include Winky there too, but he had good skills, not great, not slick, not a defensive master but he had some good skills.
