Felix Trindad would CRUSH Hagler...

[bigstinkybug]

As the biggest Felix Trinidad fan here, and yet an extremely knowledgeable and objective boxing fan (ahem, cough, gasp)...... I feel the need to interject with my own personal remarks.

First, it's Marvin..... not Melvin. Our first clue that this was a hastily put together troll thread.

Second, "Marvelous" Marvin was probably one of the greatest, if not THE greatest middleweight champions in the history of boxing. Trinidad started fairly well at middleweight (major props to him for that) by KO'ing William Joppy..... but MW was not Trinidad's natural or best weight, by any means.

So in summary, gentlemen..... I must conclude that while I am a huge Trinidad fan, and consider him one of the greatest champions Puerto Rico and boxing has ever had..... I concur that this is a completely worthless thread, and only serves to bring Trinidad haters to the dinner table.

Good day.

*I agree... Tito was a great welterweight..to try to make him into something he wasn't..a middleweight, just isn't good boxing talk. BUT..talk about Tito at welter... man, i'll say this, he brought it every time he fought...a lot of fun to watch.

Well he did pretty good for a guy that had no business being there losing only to the last undisputed middleweight in history. I agree that he really was not a middle. He was never the same after Hopkins as is the case with many of his foes.

What I do know is that not liking someone is not a criteria for ATG status.

*I am not a Trinidad hater... BUT every now and again, people start try to make Trinidad seem invinceable... He was great at welterweight, but..he lost to Oscar... that's not even in question... then got ko'ed by Hopkins... but truth is, there's no version of Tito that beats Winky Wright at any weight.
