    Trinidad went 11 rounds with one of the best middleweights of all time (who as someone mentioned started out as a light HW). He lost his undefeated record to an ATG. He finished his career with 3 losses, all to future Hall of Famers. Before that, he amassed a fantastic record with wins over some hugely accomplished fighters. No shame in any of that.

    (At least he didn't seek out undersized fighters to add to his fukking legacy).

    Trinidad fought a hell of a fight, he did the best he could do, and has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I've never seen Hopkins look as good as he did that night, and if he hadn't brought his A + game, I feel sure Trinidad would have beat him.

    I also give Tito credit for challenging himself and fighting the best. (unlike some of these gutless cherry pickers these days calling themselves all-time greats)

    Tito was good fighter but he always had the size advantage over most of his foes. And if you are talking about Oscar Tito fan then only talking down Tito because he got a gift decsion against the man. If your taking about Mayweather then well lets be real he box circles around Tito to be honest.

    That may be true but Tito hit with venom and if he caught Floyd he would break him down and take him out.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Thats one that always gets me, the Oscar vs Hopkins event. Oscar wasn't a Middle and didn't belong there. The he faked ko is just silly speak. Its repeated over and over but the only iffy-underweight fights I'd slag Hopkins for are that one, the Brown massacre and maybe the John d Jackson fight. Wright was a fat and dreadful lt hvy too...For Tito the Rodney Moore and Pendleton showcases. The Thiam fight was similar to Hopkins Hakker blah. Love HBOs hypocrisy on that one, I was waiting for Hopkins to slap Larry Merchant
