    I remember when Reid made pre victory t shirts before the Tito fight, claiming he would defeat tito. Dude even dropped Tito in their fight, if i recall correctly. His eye ****** balls. It would swell and close after a few blows. Damn he could have been a much better fighter with a normal eye. Life is a b1tch.

      He just had a droopy eyelid without even being hit. Crazy never seen this before in a fighter.

        Sad story. He was rushed into the Trinidad fight, but so was Vargas.

          What's saddest is how people still see Tito as a great KO puncher despite his ****ed up handwraps. Hopkins laughed off his power after they came off. He's a ***** and should be remembered that way. How scumbags like Berto Peterson Trinidad go to bed at night is beyond wonderment

            The right hand he dropped Trinidad with was a rocket. One of my favorite all time punches.

                  It broke my heart reading that....very sad!!!!!...Dream was always kinda introverted...but this is extreme

                  I remember being in tears when B Hop knocked out Tito screaming to my dad and big bro "that's for Dream" lol...David Reid along with a handful of others makes me feel proud to be from North Philly...real talk!!!

                    That's what I was thinking, yes it's sad but the guy earned millions in the span of only a few years, he should have looked after his money, not many people earn the popularity, fame, championships and money that he earned in less than 20 professional bouts. He got beat up by an ATG, if he can't handle it then oh well.
