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

[fdotorres]

Sad excuse. In the Margarito fight, Shane Mosley was having problems with his wife and just divorced, he was also being surrounded by the steroid accusations and all of that was on his mind and he still beat the crap put of Margarito.

and margarito just got caught with loaded gloves which is even more distracting

but yeah, it's a ****** thing to say... especially almost a decade later

Take Tito's special hand-wraps away from him and Cotto brutalizes this fraud. Tito couldn't handle Oscars jab, Cotto's jab would own Tito all night long. And Oscar was robbed, only people who don't believe that are people that choke on fraud boxers who need special-handwraps ballsacks.

Felix triniwraps making excuses? It's funny how that Rican poster is posting about tito wanting a rematch against B-hop but what was the ****ing point? Tito got embarrassed for the whole fight and KTFO.

Chavez would always state that De La Hoya had not defeated him, but that a gash that he had suffered in training was the real cause of the stoppage of the fight.

This sound like an excuse from the greatest Mexican fighter.

Since the wrap incident, Tito hasn't been the same devastating puncher.

I think Tito would of stepped on the gas as HE always did and change the course of the fight. Something is undeniable, Tito had the wrong footwork to beat HOP boxing. But heavy hitters have other advantages that we did not see in Tito that night.
He had worked voluntary feeding the Fire workers instead of HOP, ho just went back home and continue training like nothing (The great American)
HOP might of won the fight, but it would of been by Desicion, not by Tito melting down.
Regarding the article, I'm sure that those were his main obstacles beside being in NY at the lowest point on its history.
HOP won and He was the better man that night. But I also have to say that I didn't see Tito at his best that night. He was flat and never really peaked before or during his meltdown.

What a cheater, he cheated with his special hand-wraps in the ring. Joppy and Vargas said it felt like he was hitting them with bricks, and then we find out he was using ridiculous amounts of gauze to make a cast-like substance out of his hand-wraps to have an unfair advantage.

Mayorga just might disagree with u.... just might.....

I understand his point but I still don't think he would have won. Bernard Hopkins was just so determined and motivated, that was the defining moment in his career. There was no way he was going to lose that fight.

Tell that to Ricardo Mayorga and Hassine Cherifi.

Tito didnt cheat. I thought people would know this by now.

Well no **** that gash was opened up in sparring, They did stop the fight so how is that not a legit excuse? That old man was getting his ass whooped but they stopped the fight due TO A GASH THAT WAS READY TO BE OPENED.
