Trinidad press conference in PR pictures

[as214]

I have never heard that quote and if it is true, indeed I would like to read it.

I cant imagine Tito saying that especially since he was at ground zero helping out anyways.

Besides people say crazy things to hype up a fight. Do you respect Hopkins for what he did in Puerto Rico?

You act like Tito is a bum and has never accomplished anything.

No Hopkins wasnt right to do that and I dont condone his actions.. But I believe Hopkins is smart enough to never make fun of an incident that God forbid involved the death of 3,000 Puerto Ricans.. But then again he is smarter than Tito.. Maybe Tito was just too dumb to understand the words he spoke!!

Former middleweight champion Felix Trinidad won't keep fighting without his father, putting his boxing future in jeopardy.

Trinidad, who lost to Winky Wright on Saturday in Las Vegas, said at a news conference late Sunday that his father wants to retire.

``If you aren't here, I'm not continuing in boxing,'' Trinidad said before embracing his father and crying.

Trinidad has held world titles in three weight classes, and had lost just once before Saturday -- to Bernard Hopkins in a middleweight title fight four years ago. Trinidad also retired after that fight.

``I don't feel that I am giving my 100 percent in the corner, as I used to ... Because of this, I feel I don't want to carry on working in the ring,'' Trinidad's father said.

Added Felix Trinidad: ``My father told me at Miami airport what he was going to do, and I reminded him that since I was a kid I told him that the day my father could not be at my side, I would not throw another blow.''

Just thought I would post that for incase nobody has read that yet.

Like Maxboxing carries any credibility.

I show respect to those who deserve it.. Tito threatens to kill fighters.. Do you think I'm making up that quote about Tito saying he'd drop Hopkins just like the Towers fell? Does that sound like PR to you.. I cant respect someone who says those horrible things!!

Man stop talking ****, he never said that, actually he has done a lot for the ppl in NY specially for the Police and Fire Dept...

Good luck Tito and thanks for the great moments!...

I dont feel his emeotions.The guy quits after getting embarass, the guy was totally manhandled!He should go out with a w against a big opponent.I have lost respect for Tito.He still can fight, i thought the gameplan was all wrong in this fight.The guy doesnt have a jab and he didnt even throw that many punches.He looked like he gave up in those couple of last rounds!

I agree with part of what you posted. I think that Trinidad should go with a farewell victory against a credible opponent, if and only if, he thinks he still has the will and determination to forget about what just happened to him and focus on that last big fight.
