Comments Thread For: Felix Trinidad Comes Clean on 'Why' He Lost To Hopkins

[Darkstar]

Trinidad still wants that rematch. They should do it at 170-175 in mid 2011. Final fight for both.

sure Tito.......still a hell of a fighter to watch, Hopkins was just too big and too much of a style nightmare for him

HAHAHHAAHHAAHA oh man, i guess emotions CANT get in the way of fight according to you guys. its clear that none of you have even fought or been in a fight

SEE! I told many people this same thing and everyone thought I was just being a sore loser, that Trinidad was completely the same old Trinidad and he simply lost, I told people YES he may have still lost but I knew for a fact he wasn't 100% for that fight goig in. since I support Trinidad everyone thought I was just sore but I kid you not man Tito was all threw my neighborhood going crazy with the people, he spent more time doing appearances than he did training..

when he was stranded out here after the 9/11 attacks he was training in multiple gyms, 1 of which was Jefferson gym which I always used to visit but didn't become a member. I remember I visited the gym because I heard Tito was still there so I wanted to formally meet the champion and spend some time in the gym with him but I was too late and he already had his last day there, I asked them though "how did he look?" and with worried faces they said "he looked okay", this is no lie yo..

I even heard rumors of him bugging out and jumping on cars shadow boxing in the middle of the street, he was eating unhealthy and couldn't focus on the fight, the fight was less than 2 weeks away and he was living like he wasn't even signed for a fight. he made a lot of donations and appearances to the 9/11 tragedy while he was here, visiting random victims in the hospital and not to mention the thing with him cheating on his wife..

honestly Trinidad was only half the man he could have been that night, those 2 1/2 weeks from 9/11 to 9/29 completely derailed his focus and his conditioning mentally and physically for that fight, even still though he managed to go 12 rounds even against all of B-Hop's dirty tactics, now imagine if Tito was 100%?

Hopkins outsmarted Trinidad that night, confusing him using serpentine motion.

Tito,

"I lost because Hopkins was just better than me. He schooled me."



That's what he said, right? Right??

[ELPacman]

Since when does Trinidad say, "bloody hell"? lol.

[amayseng]

nope Tito, sorry, not buying it.


bhop was brilliant that night

[millcitymauler]

What a completely unnecessary statement...another boxer chipping away at his own legacy.

I like Trinidad a lot but coming up with this **** 9 years later is ridiculous. He lost because Hopkins schooled his ass, that's all there is to it.
