Felix Trinidad Has Retired Again

[spinksjinx]

So what your telling me is that BHop was possibly scared of Tito.. If there wasnt another fight immediately the only reason is because Tito is Don Kings little *****!! Maybe if Tito was smart and his own man like BHop he could fight whoever he wanted at anytime.. WHY DID TITO COME BACK NOW THEN WHEN A FIGHT WITH BHOP ISNT GUARANTEED, just as it wasn't two years ago!! If Tito fights Winky again immediately I'll admit you are probably correct. IF Tito retires now, or chooses to fight someone besides Winky then we will have seen a pattern here. Then will you admit that I was right?

No I am not saying Hopkins was scared and why should he be, Hopkins dominated Felix the whole fight. But Hopkins said Tito was undeserving and all of the sanctioning bodies were willing to go ahead and let the rematch happen. But Bernard said Tito wasnt worthy and went on to Carl Daniels instead???????

I am not sure as to why Tito came back perhaps it was because he was guaranteed 10 million dollar paydays for each fight. He collected it against Mayorga and probably looked for Bernard to want to fight Tito again. Especially since Bernard was coming off the biggest win in his career knocking out DLH and with the spectacular outing Tito showed against Mayorga. That fight seemed to make a lot of sense and a lot more dollars.

But it didnt happen, Hopkins went to court with King that is why the rematch spoiled once again.

Personally I wouldnt ever want Tito to step back into the ring with Winky, he dominated him worst than Hopkins did and it would just be a repeat. The only fight I want to see Tito in right now is agaisnt De la hoya.

No heart really. He wasn`t an all time great because Tito`s style was a puncher who couldn`t adjust. All the greats were great because they adjusted and altered their style of fighting at some point to become great. Like Thomas Hearns who turned boxer in several fights etc..
Tito could never do it, no heart or will to do so! Classic puncher bully who was exposed everytime he fought someone who stood up to him!

I agree totaly. I've never seen such an "elite" fighter lose so pathetically against smart boxers who moved and were not scared of his power. You could say that Tito lost 23 out of 24 rounds in the Winky Bhops fights combined. You can't hate on his power and aggresiveness, becuase he was a true terror with the two fisted attack, but was feeble and weak when the opponent stood thier ground.

That is the definition of a bully

The way you put it sounds like we are talking about Mike Tyson, who still gets hailed as the greatest.

Great fight for winky, completely outboxed tito.Pretty pathetic that tito would retire after losing but i guess imo there is no way tito can beat winky. for a second i thought i was watching dlh/sturm all over again just with a diffrent outcome. but imo i dont think winky has the style to become a superstar, maybe to boxing fanatics we can appreciate what he does but to the general public, they might think style is just boring. i hate to quote larry merchant but he did have a point when he said a superstar is someone who can put asses in the seats and unfortunately i dont think wright can do that with his style.

Great fight for winky

you've made some damn good points but don't you think hopkins was right in thinking the over rated tito was fluff. i mean he was in the ring with the guy not you. not that daniels is even close to trinidad but hopkin didn't need the money and he got on with his carreir. hey, read the reeno article "wright proved to be wrong choice for trinidad" on boxing scenes front page. best article i've ever read. this reeno is topps in my book.

no surprise to tito's retiring. he wanted to get a rematch with hopkins, winky dominated him to. he's finished.

After destroying a fighter in the ring you shouldnt have fear of facing him again.

I dont understand how Bernard can call Tito unworthy and overrated and turns around talking about Hakkar being dangerous before there fight?

It just baffles me, Hopkins beats Tito fights 3-4 stiffs and then smacks around DLH and yet Tito isnt worthy?

He fought and dominated Allen 3 times and yet called him a serious threat each time. Yet Tito didnt deserve a fair shake at a rematch.
