Actually his plan was even more ambitious. He wanted to chalange Roy Jones Jr after Hopkins. He most likely would've lost that fight but, man what an event that would've been.
Trinidad is my second favorite fighter of all time behind Pernell Whitaker, I followed his career with an obsession and remember the plans he had. He set his goal to fight Roy Jones after he defeated David Ried. Everybody was skeptical about the plan until he destroyed Joppy at 160. Everybody thought Hopkins was going to be an easy warm up for the RJJ fight but Hopkins was simply to big and strong for Tito, he was not a true MW. But if victorious they were planning to hold the fight in Football stadium, that maybe would have sold more PPV's than the fight we have on saturday, Jones would have murdered him but it was a win win situation for Tito, Hopkins was not a win win for Tito in any stretch of the imagination, people still cruicify him for his loss to Hopkins till this day despite a huge size disadvantage.
