My favorite fighter has always been Felix Trinidad...

off topic. do you think we missed seeing tito at his best against the best?

Not sure what you mean.

i mean tito's ninety four campaign was so good, followed by four years of rubbish. this was his peak in my opinion & when he should have been matched against the best welters. his career could have been even better if don king hadn't have stalled it

I sort of see your point in that 1994 was the year of Camacho, Campas, and Carr.

But then I went through each year of The Ring Magazine's annual ratings from 1994 to 1999, and didn't see any names in the top ten that would've given Trinidad much trouble.

The three names I see that people talk about wishing had been matched against Trinidad are: Quartey, Mosley, and Forrest.

Yeah... it's too bad Trinidad didn't face any of those three. They would've been good fights.

However, you look at his record from the time he won that first championship, and you come away with a pretty good list of names.

But sure... his already super-impressive resume would've looked even better had he faced and beaten any of those three names.

In my opinion, I don't think that Forrest, Quartey or Mosley were interested in fighting Trinidad. If they were, it wouldn't have gone well for them.

Mosley was never able to solve Vernon Forrest. He would've fared worse against Trinidad.

Personally I think Quartey would've been the most competitive of the three... but I'd still bet on Trinidad to win inside the distance.
