Hearns vs Trinidad

[TitoFan]

every time he has face elite boxer he got lesson

This is like the boxing version of refried beans or MASH reruns. After a while they both get you sick.
I know this line gets regurgitated a lot, but to me it just discounts and insults the merits of all of Trinidad's victims throughout his career. And it ignores the fact that of Trinidad's three losses, one came against RJJ Jr at 170 and near the end of both their careers, and another was against a defensive wizard in Wright. Granted, Trinidad was clueless in both the Wright fight and the Hopkins fight, but hey.... still a HOF and ATG career.

I don't mind the opinions of those who feel Hearns would have KO'ed Trinidad at any weight. I'm not so sure that wouldn't happen myself. But seeing Trinidad's weaknesses from a constructive viewpoint and just plain hating on the man, are two completely different things. I always know where you're coming from.

I do not think he is hating, it is just his opinion. I do know that if Trinidad did land he would finish Hearns at welterweight. Tito was an excellent finisher.

It is fine if he does not want to listen to reason for the love of god he said that Leonard was not known for his power as a ww what kinda person says that. Tito got huge gift against Oscar who also came up short in big fights. He also did not win a round damn near against Wright or Hopkins yet he is going beat Hearns not to mention he would get drop early slow starter. Leonard had power better reach better foot work and better chin and he had to lose his eye to beat Hearns.
