Joppy lost because he thought he could take Trinidad's power, he couldn't.
Camacho was overrated. Who'd he beat? A shot Sugar Ray, and Duran? Then he got dominated by De La Hoya.
Never heard of David Reid.
Again, Trinidad had no head movement, and no feet. He wasn't a good boxer, he was just a hard hitter.
Hector Camacho holds victories against Edwin Rosario, Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, José Luis Ramírez, and Rafael Limón. His boxing skill was superb and seems like you never saw a prime Camacho fight. Otherwise, you would give him credit. His record is 78-5-2 and 3 of those losses were against Trinidad, Chávez, and DLH. No shame there.

Wow, mentioning Mancini is like me saying Danny Williams beat Mike Tyson. Mancini was retired for four years when he came out to fight him. I actually saw quite a few of his fights, I was a lot younger and not too into boxing, but I've seen plenty of his fights.
The biggest names he fought, Mancini, Duran, and Leonard, were shot. Then he lost to the other three.
He was good, I'm not saying he wasn't; I just don't think he was as good as everyone says he was.
Runw/knives, I only said that because you asked if I was kidding you. I hate when someone comes into the middle of a discussion between two people and asks if they are kidding the person who was not involved. I hate it online, and moreso in real life. Anyhow, I wasn't kidding.
I apologize then. FYI. David reid was a very popular prospect..who was thought to be one of the better fighters in boxing at the time Trinidad beat him. He was undefeated...and Trinidad outboxed him, showing that he was basically the real deal as far as fighting goes.
That was IMO one of his most impressive victories.
