    what were some of felix trinidad's weaknesses?

    we all know trinidad was accurate, had good hand speed, and awesome power @ 147 and 154..but what were some of his weaknesses do u think? i really cant think of a whole lot other then the fact he didnt use his jab enough because he was intent on a knockout every fight

    i heard he never did roadwork, instead sparring alot to make up for it

    his footwork was weak and his father was a horrible trainer i think cause he would tell tito ****** crap and tito would always just listen to his father like in the hopkins fight where he told him he was winning. then trinidad retired cause his ****** dad said he was.

      Once Trinidad became a KO artist, his defense became poor because he became more reckless. He was also a slow starter, and that, plus a not so good footwork, was why he was knocked down many times in the early going.

      By the way, I want to say that Trinidad is my favorite ever, so I am just calling it like I saw it.

          jab, jab, and jab tito and he cant do a damn thing about it.

          lateral movement.

          hes a slow starter.

          horrid footspeed.

          terrible trainer.

          bad defense.

          counter-punches.

          hes too one-dimensional.

          tito has quite a few weaknesses.

            What you mean once he became a KO artist? When does one become one?

              Well, as soon as he started to KO better fighters, he fell in love with the power. Is that clear now?
