It still doesn't take away from his win. Trinidad was coming up to 160 and fighting a champion at that weight... an accomplishment on its own merit. Not to be compared with Oscar's disastrous foray into 160, which ended with a KO loss on a dubious body shot from Hopkins, and a gift win against Felix Sturm.
Ain't nobody claiming Oscar "turned back all odds" against Sturm. Joppy was a good fighter. But come on. The best name he has on is record is a 200 year old Roberto Duran. Trinidad was suppose to beat Joppy. And he did
