(At least he didn't seek out undersized fighters to add to his fukking legacy).

Trinidad fought a hell of a fight, he did the best he could do, and has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I've never seen Hopkins look as good as he did that night, and if he hadn't brought his A + game, I feel sure Trinidad would have beat him.

I also give Tito credit for challenging himself and fighting the best. (unlike some of these gutless cherry pickers these days calling themselves all-time greats)
