    Trinidad vs. Candelo

    I was watching Wright vs. Candelo a couple of days ago, and noticed how tough Candelo was in that bout. I think he gave Wright a really difficult fight and looked good in some rounds. Now, I think that this would be a great farewell fight for Trinidad. Why? Because Trinidad would have a chance to look great against an opponent that gave Wright a spirited fight. I know I have been making a lot of Trinidad threads lately, but that is because I don't think he should quit again. Trinidad, give us fans a goodbye win!

    Well that sure would be an easy going-away victory, Candelo can't punch at 154, Tito's a monster even at 160, plus Kassim Ouma kicked his a$$ on a Freitas undercard a while back and JC hasn't been the same since....so for the Tito fans, this would be similar to the Cherifi fight, a name guy whose an easy target

      An easy W against a name opponent is exactly what I want.

      Go Trinidad!

      By the way, that Ouma-Candelo was very competitive until the 7th or 8th round I think. That was when Ouma took over.

          good call, Winky turns it up a notch during the big occasions, he was an animal vs. Vargas and obviously had his A-game vs Tito

              at that time JC Vasquez was one of the top 10-20 fighters on the planet, and Wink was still young & dumb (I heard he partied HARD during his time over in Europe), I also heard that JCV scored something like 5 KD's because Wink was wearing leather-soled shoes and was slipping and sliding all over the place, which made the scorecards look even worse....that European Tour was a great experience, in retrospect, because now Wink is a more skillful & educated prizefighter

                Trinidad vs. DLH would be a better farewell fight....They would sell out the new coliseum in PR, Actually it could be a great farewell fight for both if they wanted...

                I hope Don comes and convince Trinidad in getting at least one more time in the ring...The only stone in the way would be Trinidad Sr.; he wouldn't want to see his son succeed without him..

                  4 a fighter to retire happily he has to avenge his loses or atleast fight the guy again even if he loses. that will settle any doubt in his mind that he did his best but just wasnt better than the opponent. and 4 trinidad to come back and fight a nobody ,win and retire doesnt make sense. he has to fight winky or b-hop but he would probably get murdered be either ,so in my opinion just stay retired tito.
