    Trinidad is a great fighter with some flaws but with the potential to become an all-time great. I enjoy watch him fight mainly because he is more of a warrior than boxer-puncher.
    He has good boxing ability but sometimes seems to forget to use it. He can trade with almost anyone, but when he fights with someone who has good footwork and skill he can be outboxed. So besides his poor footwork and so-so chin he is a VERY good fighter and future Hall of Famer.

      Tito is not just an average fighter. he has fought everyone and beat them convincingly. As for the hopkins fight, hopkins was just too big for him, Tito still looked and fought like a welterweight. you can see the size difference clearly when you see the fight. Tito should get another chance with hopkins and it is quite probable that he will prove himself this time. what also makes this fighter great is that after coming from such a long period of inactivity, he took a fight with Mayorga (who is known for his freakish chin, power and knockout of vernon forest) and made him look like nothing and knocked him out with total domination. Now how many fighters have come back from retirement and shown this kind of ring generalship. Trinidad is one of the very few, and he is back to take his belts.

          Hopkins did not beat tito just because he was bigger. It was more of a combination of size, skill, power and ring experience which Hopkins undoubtly posseses on a highest level. Titi is damn good but not as good as Hopkins.

            Tito is a very exciting and strong one dimensional fighter.

The way he fights is just amazing. He was headed to the Hall of Fame by 1999, but the fight that made him a great was the Vargas fight. The way he finished so strong is amazing.
              You need alot of catching up to do, to actually have some idea what's boxing.

                In simple terms( unlike "one dimensional" and his "foot work sucks"), He is a great fighter, who fights the best, beats the best, while giving people there moneys worth. Having bad footing, ain't stoped him yet.

The only time Tito has been put against a fighter who can challange him he lost. B-Hop and Oscar. B-hop dominated him all night, and Oscar did the same until he backed off. And even when Oscar backed off Tito didnt do anything to win the rounds, Oscar just gave them away. People are also confused in beleiving Tito is back better than ever. It took him over 7 rounds to get rid of a out of shape welterweight fighting at Middle who didnt no how to box but just stick is face to block his punches. Also Tito got hit was to many times against a fighter who throw very wide shots that can be seen from a mile away. The only problem was that Mayorga didnt have the power to do damage at Middleweight although he did stunned Tito just once in the fight (not the knockdown). But since Tito is Don Kings son, he wont fight anyone who could pose a threat against him. So he will proably fight a few guys whos styles are made for Tito and end his career as a hero.

                  Can you name a fighter in his prime whom Tito didn't take on?

                      I dont care for Tito at all but i admit he is a real good fighter. He has great punching power, a pretty solid chin, and he puts his punches together nicely. He struggles against real stylistic boxers but he has my respect. I say a 7 out of 10.
