What do u think of Trinidad overall?

[Sue_B]

I think he is good.

I love to watch Tito fight and I think he is great fighter but some of you guys are pathetic. His KO power is greater than Hopkins which is obvious when comparing their fight against, but thats where his advantage ends. He is not a better boxer than Oscar nor Hopkins and his power did not increase after his layoff. The Mayorga KO only proved that anyone who drops their hands against a strong and accurate puncher is an idiot. Hopkins and Oscar's advantage over Tito is that they both have better skills and a better chin that him. His punching power was neutralized by Hopkin's strong chin and great boxing skills and it will happen again if they box again.

Good Psot! Tito is a great fighter there is no doubt however I don't know if there is a fighter with his kind of flaws that will ever be as great as Tito.

The guy can't box...he eats jabs for breakfast and routinely takes a seat on the canvas...when he was a young champion he was repeatedly outboxed the first four rounds of every fight...you would wonder what the **** the hype is all about and then in the fifth the left hook would finally come and would change the entire fight if not end it.

With Tito if you know how to box and move you can disconnect his power...he can't throw punches while moving...he just becomes an inactive follower.

Not to bash Tito too much, he is as good a puncher as anyone I have ever seen (Ill Take the Hawk)and that power has made him great...again with Tito's skills it is amazing to me how great he truly is...but if we are taking a 360 degree look at Felix and being straight up as objective as possible the guy has and always will have serious holes in his game...his power is such that most of the holes are covered up.

Hopkins and Oscar both exsposed him NArd finished what he had started and Oscar cruised...Tito will be outclassed again and I have a feeling it won't be by a guy who's name is as big as the above mentioned...I think Felix Sturm has some chance of beating Tito...he must move better than he did against Oscar but Sturm's jab is really good and if you watch the Joppy fight and the ten million jabs that bounced off Tito's face you know Sturm will at least equal that...hopfeully he knows how to keep his hands up.

Here is exactly what I think of Trinidad:











And that's about it....

[jabsRstiff]

"All Trinidad has..is power"


Wrong.

All Pipino Cuevas had was power. All Earnie Shavers, Cyclone Hart, John Mugabi had, was power.

Trinidad is a brilliant offensive fighter.
Unlike those mentioned above....he's patient...he throws beautiful punches.....he's economical....he's accurate...he sets his shots up...

His defense is his biggest liabilty...but has obviously been good enough to make him one of the most successful (not just monetarily) fighters of the last twenty years.

Name one PURE PUNCHER who has acheived what he has....

"He has trouble with slick boxers"

Uhhhh, what fighter doesn't ?

[scap]

He is a brilliant offensive fighter but as you said he has problems with slick fighters...he is not a great offensive fighter against slick boxers....against Oscar and Nard he was anything but great...they moved around and gave him different looks and his power was disconnected...

Tito is one of the greatest fighters of my lifetime, my point is that it is incredible to me to think about all of his holes and in the same breath think about is dominance as a fighter...ok you got me he has more than power, but power is the reason why he is great...if Tito had a good punch and not a great punch he would not be a great fighter.

Tito has got to be one of the best finisher today, maybe even all time. The kid can smell a KO from a mile away. He ain't the most graceful but he alway comes to fight. That's why I like the kid.

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.

Read my post again. I said average boxer not fighter. 2nd, he fought a blown up welterweight that had no business figting at 160lbs. Mayo has no defense & stood in front of Tito all night & it took him a while before fianlly getting him out of there. If Tito was confident he could take Bhop, then they'd be in talks for a future fight. Bhops would still give Tito the beat-down of his life because of his versatility.

Trinidad is amazing. Without a doubt, one of the greatest, if not the greatest, boxers of my generation. His resume beats any current fighter in the world today if you ask me.
