    What do u think of Trinidad overall?

    I just ordered his whole career on DVD off ebay

    I think this guy is a dangerous guy, i saw his fights with Vargas and Joppy, tha knockouts were brutal. He has power in both hands, and his ko over mayorga was nice to.

    I havent seen all his fights yet only like 6.

    Tha thing i see in him is he doesnt really outbox tha ppl, usually it's even then he just lands some crazy **** and knocks them out, i saw the cherifi fight, i thought it was pretty close until tito knocked him out.

    I think he looks to good to be true against small welters like Mayorga and old shot fighters like Joppy, but looks horrible against a real middleweight (Hopkins). Sad but true. Dont' believe the hype, just look at the facts.

    Viva Puerto Rico!!!

        Tito is for real man. Hopkins is an all time great fighter. Besides your point makes no sense when you say that Tito beats up on smaller guys but you say he's no good when he lost to a guy who is naturally bigger

          Who doesn't look horrible against Hopkins? Simply because Trinidad was dominated by Hopkins doesn't mean he isn't a viable and dangerous middleweight.

          Early in his career, Trinidad outboxed and blew people away with his power. It was later in his career, where he fell in love with his power and somewhate neglected his boxing ability. In his early days, Trinidad was a treat to watch...still.

            How early are we talking? I didnt watch him early in his career but Kellerman used to say that he wasnt that impressive early on and he was suprised how good he turned out to be

              I think Tito is a great fighter and is actually one of my favorite fighters of all time along side Roberto Duran.

              ThaGreatest you thought the Cheriffi fight was close? I thought the fight was one-sided in favor of Tito. I also thought Tito tried to do a little too much in that fight.

                Good fighter who can look amazing when he has the right guy in front of him.

                If you come right at him he might kill you, but he has never shown the ability to cut off the ring.

                Look at fights like DLH, Hopkins and Reid.

                People forget but David Reid was making Tito look foolish. Reid won the first 6 rounds and dropped Tito in the 3rd, then Tito caught Reid flush and the fight was over.

                  Tito actually fought well behind a good hard jab early in his career. I think he needs to do that more as well as put more bodyshots into his arsenal more. He is actually a good bodypuncher but it gets overshadowed by his punches upstairs.

                    Tito is an average boxer with abnormal power. Like what was said, if you stay in front of him he looks amazing. You box Tito & hit him from angles, he looks looks ordinary because he seems limited.
