but Trinidad was dropped a hell of a lot of times

Campas
Carr
Vargas
Hopkins
Mayorga
Jones Jr

all dropped him, and i know there are more, just can't think of em
Well i don't count the Roy Jones Jr fight, i don't know why you would either to be honest bro. I've seen all of those fights you mentioned, and i think the Mayorga, Campas, knockdowns were flash knockdowns. The Carr, Vargas, knockdowns were more heavy knockdowns. And the Hopkins one was after he got beat up for 11 rounds,

But i think out of all the ones there, only really one of those knockdowns affected him. And that was the Vargas knockdown, and obviously the Hopkins one. He was also knocked down by David Reid and a few other times early in his career. But again i don't feel he was hurt by any of them. I don't think Felix Trinidad's chin was that bad to be honest.

I think that he was the kind of fighter, that took a few rounds to get going and warmed up. Which is why he was floored early and not late on, infact i think he was only floored three times after the 6th round, twice by Roy Jones, which i don't count. Because that was at Light Heavyweight, and Felix Trinidad was badly ring rusty. And the only other time was against Bernard Hopkins, after taking a sustained beating.
Yeah... I would've answered the same as Ice. Tito's early knockdowns were pretty much flash knockdowns, probably more a problem with Tito's balance than anything else. He rarely looked really hurt or stunned by them. On the contrary, he usually got up and finished off the offender.

Against Hopkins, Tito was beaten to the punch consistently throughout the whole fight. So when the TKO finally came, it was more an accumulation of Hopkins' punches, than anything having to do with a weak chin.
