And though Trinidad has hung on too long and didn't do too well in the middleweight division, he has to be commended for challenging the big boys. Personally, though I think Tito should retire, I would rather pay 49.99 to watch him give it his all than someone like de la Hoya, who doesn't. I feel Tito's motivations in the ring have to do with more than just money.
Good post, bro. When people are sizing up Tito's career and comparing with others, they sometimes overlook the fact that Tito is one of the very few fighters that went up a weight division and immediately took on a champion at that weight, like Tito did when he fought Joppy. Although the Tito-Vargas fight was my all time favorite, I was actually more amazed at the outcome of the Joppy fight.
