There was zero pop in Tito's shots against Hopkins!

No not the weight. He beat Joppy pretty bad and that was a legit MW. Hopkins just has a good chin and was probably the biggest opponent Trinidad has faced.

excuses still flowing after 9 years
Trinidad KO'd Joppy, had a spot in the unification series
he was a MW, period
he just got his ass kicked
Hopkins had him pegged from rd one

I think Tito's power was fine.
How many times have you seen Hopkins hurt? EXACTly!!!

Plus Tito didn't land very flush on Hopkins the whole fight. Hopkins gave the impression it was going to be a war but came fight time he turned defensive boxer. Beautiful fight plan and Hopkins followed it very well.

His special-handwraps were missing.

i think the fight was pushed back from its original date cuz of the 9-11 attacks but im not 2 sure. if it was i dont know if that affected him weight wise but 2 me he just got ****ed up. hey, it happens.

You're obssessed with this man. He beat the best version of Trinidad fair and square, let it go.

It's called lateral movement, feints, great defense, and accurate counter punching. It made him hesitant, not only that, but Hopkins would either rolled with or smothered pretty much every punch Trinidad landed.

Trinidad showed scary power against Joppy, dropping or hurting him every time he tapped his chin. Hopkins couldn't even knock him out or drop him after that fight and he's in the top 10 fights for landed punches in a fight because of the Joppy fight.

He managed to hit Bhop a few times, but he never hurt him one bit. Was the weight too much?

Its called giving angles and not letting your opponent get set.
