Felix Trinidad- Beat 3 out of 4 Olympic Gold medalists!

[ykdadamaja]

I think he has the record... lolololol....

Oscar, Reid and Whitaker all went down to Trinidad. The only one to beat Trinidad was Roy Jones. What does that say?

Well, in fairness, Trinidad should be 2 and 2, or maybe even 2-1-1 (draw to Whitaker, but Trinidad won it I felt)...

How does that crack you for a guy who had a very unpronounced amatuer career?

I thought he won the Whitaker fight clearly and although Pernell fought valiantly against a younger, bigger opponent he was far from his best. To get wins over 3 gold medalists is impressive on paper but there are better victories on his record that establish his quality.

That's a great achievement. I think Ali beat 4 out of 4 Olympic gold medalists?

Every time it gets mentioned I need to go back and score Tito-De La Hoya all over again . Tito is greatly missed! Holyfield won over 3 gold medalists also. We won't get into Lewis rematch . But while Mercer and Foreman were respectable, Henry Tillman really never measured up.

1. Roy was a silver medalist who was robbed of gold.
2. Oscar won that fight and it wasn't even really close.
3. Pea was a shell of his prime best, and a tiny welterweight when they fought.
4. David Reid was a solid win for Tito, as was Vargas (who was also an Olympian).

Tito did have a very impressive run, however, up to his fight vs Hop. Tito's wins vs Yori Boy Campas, Vargas, Reid, Blocker, and Joppy were extremely impressive. Watch his early fights and you will see true greatness. Before he fell in love with his punch/stamina, he was a masterful boxer with serious power in both hands.

I like Tito but Oscar dominated that fight.

But to be fair to Tito, Roy was way too big for him, he didn't have a chance in that fight. He was too small to hurt Roy.

The Oba Carr win was also excellent.

Definitely. He handled Carr much more easily than either Oscar or Ike Quartey. I thought Tito looked impressive vs Anthony Stephens as well. The loss to Bernard hurt Tito's legacy because that is what people focus on (plus his loss to Winky), but the guy was a legit great fighter in his prime.

I was a Carr and Campus fan and wanted them to beat Tito, also Vargas but became a Tito fan after he beat my favourite fighters.
