Is my grandpa right about Trinidad being severely overrated?

[Kaspa9t9]

I started watching boxing 2 years ago. My grandpa said Trinidad is overrated because he was the bigger man fighting smaller guys, but got found out when he moved up.

Is he right? Please discuss.

Yes. Your grandpappy was right.

Trinidad got schooled by Oscar.

Trinidad beat a green Vargas who was thrown to the wolves at 21.

Trinidad was embarrassed by Winky, Oscar, Roy Jones and Hopkins.

No. Everyone is playing the weight game. Only the guys who win seem to be considered weight bullies. Its bs doe. Granted I hate the sport within the sport of cutting weight & surely there are those who are great weight cutters that walk into the ring with max size advantage but I don't believe Tito was a atg weight cutter or even among the best of his day so I call bs on Tito being overrated. Its just boxing everyone finds their ceiling via superior opposition, moving up in weight or age sooner or later. Tito was no different than any other fighter in that way.

Weight draining aside, you have to admit Tito looked average against top competition in Jones, Oscar, Bernard and Winky.

Personnally I still contend Tito won the Oscar fight although in fairness I do feel like Oscar won more rounds while Tito just won more overall rounds by Oscar conceding them. It was close doe. I had it 6-5-1 Tito & I think it'd be hard to give Oscar more than 7 rounds so its hard to argue it wasn't a close fight either guy coulda gotten the nod for.

And sh^t man look at the guys you just named regardless of how I scored the Oscar fight.

Oscar. HOFer, multiweight champ.
Bhop. HOFer, multiweight champ.
RJJ. HOFer, multiweight champ.
Winky. Maybe the most underappreciated best fighter of this last era of boxing.

These are some bad mfers & most cats who even got to fight 4 guys at this level, win, lose or draw was a above average as f#ck & a tip top guy.

In all honesty your grandpa is me, I never said ANY of that you little fuccing prick!

[Nash out]

Tito is another Margo dude was never nothing without caster.

There are weight division rather than length division for a reason.

Your Grandpa dont know $h!t. FOH with that Bull, Tito was a beast plain and simple. He fought errbody that came in front of him. Name one fighter he ducked? Tito was a GUN. If he would be active now, he wouldve fought GGG, Canelo, and the Charlo brothers twice a piece.
