Why don't PRs question Trinidad's career after being caught by the same guy? Hmmmm! It's only a mental thing when it involves Tito with them.
But on the reals wraps or not Tito was a bad ass mother****er. He lost to mostly great/hof type of guys that were bigger(apart from Oscar robbery). Hopkins only beat him cause he made a career out of fighting little guys. Just imagine if Hopkins was a WW when Tito was kicking ass, he would of done what he did with Calzaghe.

EDIT: Also I remember Alberto Cortez, he had a great record with good power. He almost stopped trinidad in the 2nd round. I remember Cortez was good, he lost to JCC sr as an undefeated fighter.
Trinidad didn't have alot of names on his record but got his ranking by being undefeated and being impressive in his wins. Even the win over Blocker wasn't thought of as that impressive at the time because Blocker was just destroyed by Terry Norris in an attempt at the 154 belt. Trinidad's rep grew in time though and was really magnified by the way he handled the 154lb'rs and Joppy at 160.
