    That something was heart, why does everytime he loses he retires ?? Instead of picking himself off of the mat . Working harder then winning the rematch >??

    Zab didnt retire when he got KO ?
    He also lacked skill to beat a good boxer....every boxer made him look FOOLISH!

    If he did try harder he still would've got whooped against Hopkins, and Wright...

    He is just VERY one dimensional...

    btw are you korean?

          Quitting and running back to Puerto Rico isnt going to solve everything . I wonder if he will ever make a comeback ??

          Or will his dad ever let him do it is a better question.

            Yeah, but Tito realized that he had been outclassed and gave it up. Smart move (I guess).

              Am I the only guy who thinks Tito can actually learn to box if he would have gotten a different trainer. he was so damn attached to his dad though.

                  So should De La Hoya's victory after Vargas not count since DLH made that one happen after Vargas was good and ruined?

                  Trinidad crushed Whitaker
                  De La Hoya crushed Vargas

                  Who cares when and how it went down. Neither guy had an excuse going into either of those fights, so the outcomes stand.

                    God your to easy to school, you just make yourself sound like a no knowledge jackass everytime you click reply.

                    Everyone who knows anything about boxing knows Whitaker's best came at LIGHTWEIGHT where he is regarded as one of the 3 greatest in the history of that division.

                    1. Duran
                    2. Leonard
                    3. Whitaker

                    in that order.

                    Thats 4 years that Tito was also champion in the same weight dsivison, but chose to fight killers like Kevin Lueshing instead. What year did Pete win that title at 154? 1995 thats when 4 years before he fought Tito.

                    To even try and claim Whitaker was at his best when he was fighting DLH and Tito is just beyond ******. No Whitakwer was not #1 p4p in 1997 Roy Jones Jr was, by that time Whiatker was already struggling with guys like Hurtado and Wilfredo Rivera.

                    as far as "Lets not pretend her wasn't at the top of his game" goes um...its a fact he wasn't and anyone who knows anything about boxing could tell you that. Going into that Tito fight Whitaker hadn't had a fight in two years and was coming off a year long suspension for cociane.
                    That is where this thread should've been closed. No reason in adding anything.

                    I can't believe anyone on a boxing site is actually ****** enough to argue about this.

                      Trinidad has only one real loss, peroid. The Winky fight was past his prime.
