Say what you want about the man but his conditioning was absolutely insane (had he fought back in the 15 rd days, he could've easily done it) and his fights were entertaining. He NEVER ducked anyone and was/is a true gentleman. Having said that, he only won that DLH fight on paper... but it made us all happy as hell!!! Lol! Crazy ass night I tell you that... -
This is a real pound for pound champion. A fighter who rules his division for years, who defended his title several times against top opposition not like this so called elite fighters that after winning a title, immediately cherry pick they way to other weight classes to so call make history.Comment

I agree Felix was an approachable champion. Most of his fights were very entertaining. However, it is a ironic that his most famous "victory" was in reality a loss against Oscar De la Hoya. Don King was still very influential at that time and the promoter was known for very unethical acting (some even said illegal behavior). It is also regrettable that a rematch between Oscar and Felix was never agreed. It is also a bit ironic that both of them are inducted to the HOF at the same time given the controversy of their fight. It seems that the name of Trinidad will be always linked to Oscar.Comment

Both you and "Ill Will" could stand to actually go back and watch the fight instead of forming your opinion from either Oscar's "beyond the glory" or the "legendary nights" episode on the De La Hoya/Trinidad fight.Originally posted by bronx7 View Post
It wasn't a robbery. It wasn't even close to a robbery or a schooling.
Round 1 could've gone either way, round 4 was a clear Trinidad round, and rounds 9-12 were clear Trinidad rounds due to Oscar running away like a ****.
That's a draw right there assuming you score the opening round for Tito. Find one more round to give him (and there were several that were close) and it's a victory for Trinidad 7-5.Comment

One of my favorite fighters of all time, I really look forward to Tito's induction. I was thrilled when he won, and broke **** when he didn't. I had a rare connection with him considering I'm not Puerto Rican and don't speak a lick of Spanish.Comment

Wow, would have never thought he'd pick David Reid as the biggest puncher he's ever fought. Oh, and LOL @ De la Hoya being his greatest moment.Comment
