Trinidad/De La Hoya Vs Hopkins

[ICB]

Not sure about that one, I'd go with DLH p4p over Hopkins.

He didn't beat either of them simply by overwhelmingly them with size and power. He outskilled them. He had better defense, he was a more accurate puncher in those fights, he was flat-out better.

Im not sure i agree with that ODLH at Super Featherweight/Lightweight was amazing, he had dynamite in both fists and great handspeed. And it was clear from the Felix Sturm fight he didn't belong at Middleweight, and just remember that was ODLH's 6th weightclass.

And Felix Trinidad although more limited that Bernard Hopkins, was still was a monster at Welterweight and the only fighters who went the distance with him, in his prime were great fighters like Pernell Whitaker, ODLH, Hector Camacho etc.

Felix Trinidad's problem against Bernard Hopkins was he couldn't hurt Bernard Hopkins. who was the much bigger man i don't think Felix Trinidad had any real problems landing.

If we are saying P4P Hopkins vs Trinidad then i would say Trinidad could for certain hurt Hopkins, and he would have Hopkins on the backfoot and it would be much more competitive. Because Hopkins wouldn't be able to stay inside as much as he did.

ODLH vs Hopkins P4P ? i can see ODLH outspeeding Hopkins and throwing the flashier punches to win a decision, i honestly think P4P both fights would be very competitive.

Disagree. Felix Trinidad's problem was that he couldn't land anywhere near as many clean flush shots as Bernard Hopkins was landing. Hopkins outboxed him for 12 rounds. His technical superiority is what allowed him to KO Tito in the 12th.

And I should add that Felix Trinidad is one of my 4-5 favorite fighters ever. So when I'm backing up BHop in this thread, it's not because I'm a big BHop fan. Believe me, I wish Tito had been better than BHop.
