I have news for Trinidad haters.........

[jabsRstiff]

I agree with you and Jack...

but some people act like he is a god and it sort of gets annoying you know..he is a very exciting fighter, what I mean by one dimensional is he fights AWESOME against brawlers...but not against boxers...

I think he could beat Taylor right now..

but some of his fans REALLY piss me off(not you)...

that's not true.
Trinidad has not fared well against the VERY BEST boxers, not just "boxers"

You have to be an elite-type boxer to beat him....or else guys like Carr, Reid, Vargas, Joppy, etc...wouldn't have been wasted by him.

I have been a hardcore fan for almost 25 years. I'm just a white guy who lives in Philadelphia. I'm not someone who follows a fighter because of GEOGRAPGHY.
I think Felix Trinidad has given a tremendous amount to the sport. I loved watching him fight since the first time I saw him against Blocker in '93.
Love his punching style....& his fierceness. Loved his ambition.
Saw him fight twice, in person, & believe the electric atmosphere at his fights is unlike anything I've ever experienced.

I really don't care about those who hate him, or are constantly calling him "one-dimensional" & "overrated".
I know the ****er was awesome, & for a good period of time....gave the sport a lot of great moments & performances.

I agree with this right here.

Trinidad may not be real high on the all time great scale but he is an all time great and a future first ballot hall of famer whether some people like it or not. The man had the longest uninterrupted welterweight title reign in history and then moved up to face two champions at 154 and destroyed thier careers. Then moved up and damn near walked through William Joppy who wasn't as bad as some people try to claim and then loses to one of the best middleweights ever in Hopkins. I have no doubt as well that if he got past Hopkins he would of faced Roy Jones and wouldn't of let no negotiation bs stop him from doing it. Yeah he would of lost to Jones but he would of fought him regardless. Then Tito retired and came back against a guy who was supposed to be the most dangerous opponent for him and destroyed him in 8 rounds. Yeah Mayorga was tailor made for him but that's not what everyone was saying before the fight except for me and a few other people here at Boxingscene. Then instead of fighting another tuneup fight Tito goes right after Winky with no fear of losing.

Tito was great for boxing because he took on all challenges without question and didn't use negotiation tactics to avoid fights.

i got nothing but respect 4 tito. yea he was 1 dimensional, but he was pretty good. he ***ed up vargas, joppy, mayorga. he had a couple loses on his record but everyone duz. i think people hate on him becuz his losses were horrible. he was dominated bye, de la hoya,hopkins,and winky. but he was an exciting fighter with lots of power n his prime. big ups 2 this boriqua

The Vargas-DLH fight was quite exciting.

I have rarely enjoyed watching Oscar DeLaHoya fight.

The guy is a raw boxer. What's not to enjoy about him?
You can always fast forward through the in between round scenes, since you loathe his trainer.

[Tha Greatest]

The Vargas-DLH fight was quite exciting.

Definately, Oscar at his best..
