It is asinine to think that Trinidad could generate that sort of vicious power simply by wrapping his hands another way. No two trainers wrap hands the same way.
Additionally, as noted by another on this thread, Hopkins' trainer did later mention that it was all a bunch of crap to get into Trinidad's head. In the end, Trinidad couldn't knock out Hopkins because Trinidad could not hit Hopkins, period.
However, Joppy, who blocks most of an opponent's punches with his face, presented no such difficulty. He got his ass thoroughly kicked that it has never been kicked. Trinidad owned him and made him his little geisha girl. Why? Because Trinidad hit him very, very hard in the face. It goes no deeper than that.
