Well my view on Trinidad is as Follows.
At Welterweight he had power that ranked up there with Tommy Hearns and the very best. He showed up, for every fight in condition and in every fight he gave his all perpetually on the front foot attacking. With Trinidad every punch was hard. Every punch was thrown with the intent of knocking the opponent out. At his peak i never saw trinidad feint, he would throw a punch instead and If it landed on the gloves it would still hurt. He ravaged the division, his only stumble was against De la Hoya, but as he was such a fan favourite and trained so hard not many grudged him one debatable win.
At 154 his power was similar and just as effective but north at 160 it was slightly dulled by the natural size advantage of the middles. However, his work ethic provided him successes and he wasn't a bad middle by any means.
Trinidad's primary flaw was also what made him interesting and exciting, he possessed a chin which was pentratable and could be damaged, he could be put own. As i said this never really played to his disadvantage at Welter but made him damn exciting!
