Tito/Hopkins II is being negotiated!

Oh please, my stomach is turning reading your posts

Your hero got his ass handed to him by Jones

and when he was still good, he got his ass handed to him by Hopkins and Wright... he wasnt in either fight, he got manhandled

and he got the biggest lucky break of all time when Hoya decided he'd won the fight and just danced for three rounds

Fuck Trinidad, at best Puerto Rico's FOURTH best fighter

 

You love Trinidad, don't you?

 

I have nothing against Trinidad, I just hate his fans and everyone who tries to act like he is anywhere near as good as Ortiz, Gomez, Benitez

 

I don't care where you rank him. All I know is what I saw in that fight. Tito put on a respectable performance, I would dare to say great performance considering the long layoff the his opponent. Young or old Roy's speed hasn't really diminished, only his confidence in his chin.

Tito would beat all three of them with a blindfold on.

Cupey

 

U're Deaf, Dumb, BLIND & DELUSIONAL...


REED:hammert:

 

"winning" 2 rounds and then getting your ass clowned for 10 rounds is a "GREAT PERFORMANCE"?

you're a lunatic

Roy Jones bares almost no resemblance to what he once was

Trinidad looked like a mildly slower version of the brainless robot he has always been

 

you know nothing about boxing or Tito, for that matter

 

I'm a fan. I know all of that. You just come across as the "Don't overrate Tito" police nowadays. ::

Apart from Cupey who jokingly overrate him, I don't see a lot of Trinidad groupies around anymore.

Hopkins kills him again BTW.

 

did you miss the "Best Puerto Rican Fighter ever" poll??

Guess who won?

 

RJJ didn't do shit before the knock-down. When you fight such that your opponent doesn't do shit, you're out-boxing him. And that's what Trinidad did prior to getting knocked down. He lost a lot of confidence after the knock-down because it was a shot he didn't see coming. And the rest is history.

And RJJ didn't look particularly good in that fight, all things considered.

Trinidad is a much better boxer than he's given credit for. Nevertheless, his performances prior to the Hopkins loss are like night and day compared to those following it. He was especially uneffective against Wright.

It might be the hand-wraps. It might be a loss of desire. It might be a loss of confidence. Or it could be a combination of both.

My guess is though that the most important wins of his career were won with illegally wrapped hands. That's just my opinion, having watched his fights carefully prior to the Hopkins fight and after.

 

Maybe that has more to do with the fact most posters here are in their 20's and haven't the knowledge you have of boxing history? Ortiz, Gomez and Benitez fought when most of them were toddlers or not even born. I don't know, it is my hypothesis, because apart from Hex One and Cupey, there isn't a lot of regular posters who are still enamoured with Tito.

 

Montell Griffin "OutBoxed" Roy for Large Portions of their 1st Fight...Eric Harding "OutBoxed" Roy in Spots of theirs...Ditto for Tarver During Parts of their 1st Fight...

Tito Trinidad DID NOT...That's NOT to Say that Roy was BEATING Tito Early (Because he WASN'T), but Tito WAS NOT "OutBoxing" Roy, Unless U're about to INVENT a Definition for it...


REED:hammert:

 

:doh: I still can't believe the outcome!::

 

So if Roy wasn't beating Tito early, then how would you classify what Trinidad was doing?

 

It was very sad

 

Tito quiere $15 millones por volver

El padre del púgil dice que el valor de una pelea de su hijo “andaâ€￾ por esa cifra

caro. Trinidad devengó $15 millones por su derrota en enero del año pasado ante Roy Jones y su padre y entrenador cree que su valor no ha descendido desde entonces.





POR HIRAM ALBERTO TORRACA / htorraca@elnuevodia.com Para que se pueda realizar la revancha entre Félix ‘Tito’ Trinidad y Bernard Hopkins, el promotor Don King tendrá que poner sobre la mesa una bolsa de alrededor de $15 millones para el ex campeón mundial puertorriqueño.
Félix Trinidad Rodríguez, padre, manejador y entrenador del ídolo de Cupey Alto, confirmó que su hijo ganó esa cantidad de dinero para su combate ante Roy Jones, Jr. en enero de 2008, y que en un nuevo regreso, la paga “debe estar por ahíâ€￾.
“Es que el valor de Tito anda por ahí. Y esta pelea con Hopkins es todavía más grande que la de Roy Jones, porque esta es una revancha que la gente está esperando y que el público, especialmente el puertorriqueño, va a respaldarâ€￾, sostuvo Trinidad a El Nuevo Día.
El experimentado hombre de boxeo agregó que en la reunión que sostuvo el miércoles con King en un hotel de Isla Verde, no se habló de una cantidad de dinero en específico, ya que “él sabe lo que Tito vale y que Tito anda por allá arribaâ€￾.

Alguien le puede decir a Don Felix con mucho respeto, que estamos en el 2009 ! Esta pelea esta 5 años TOO LATE !



<!-- fin BloqueFlotante --> “Cuando Tito regresó para pelear con Mayorga (octubre de 2004) firmamos un contrato con Don King que Tito iba a ganar un mínimo de $10 millones por pelea aunque fuera a pelear contra cualquier hijo de vecinoâ€￾, dijo.
En la pelea ante Jones, Trinidad fue derrotado por decisión unánime, siendo apenas el tercer revés del boricua en su gloriosa carrera que incluye 42 triunfos, 35 de ellos por nocaut, y campeonatos mundiales en las 147, 154 y 160 libras. Pero a pesar de ese revés, Trinidad Rodríguez entiende que el valor de su hijo sigue intacto.
‘Tito’, de 36 años, no ha ganado un combate desde que noqueó a Mayorga.
“Ningún promotor está regalando dinero. Es que ellos conocen que Tito es de los peleadores que más vende pague por ver. Tito perdió con Roy Jones pero no fue una paliza, fue una pelea cerrada. Tito sigue siendo el mismo. Yo no me estoy yendo más arriba de lo que Tito se merece, no estoy matando la negociación, pero si este negocio genera tanto dinero, es justo que todas las partes salgan beneficiadasâ€￾, expresó Trinidad Rodríguez, quien dijo favorecer una bolsa fija y no un pacto que incluya por ciento de las ventas de pague por ver.
El combate Trinidad-Jones superó el medio millón de pedidos y generó ingresos, solo en televisión, de sobre $25 millones.
Hopkins, de 44 años y quien el 29 de septiembre de 2001 sorprendió al mundo del boxeo al quitarle el invicto a Trinidad, se apuntó otro ‘palo’ en octubre pasado al propinarle la primera derrota de su carrera al campeón mediano Kelly Pavlik. Y ese es un elemento que, naturalmente, le da un mayor interés a una pelea ante Trinidad.
“Aunque Hopkins hubiera perdido con Pavlik, una pelea con Tito era muy interesante. Pero ahora lo es todavía más ya que con ese triunfo sobre Pavlik, Hopkins demostró que no está acabado. Esta es una revancha que Tito se merece y yo personalmente la favorezco. Si hay alguna pelea que yo quería que Tito hiciera, era éstaâ€￾, dijo.

 

Won't happen. This is simply just a schtick to get other fighters to accept whatever is offered. "Sure, I'm only making 400,000, but he can drop me on a dime and make more fighting someone else. I HAVE to take this fight."

 

On whose behalf? Hopkins, Trinidad or both?

C

 

I remember when Tito first retired most people were happy to see him retire with money and with a decent carreer.

Now he is slowly tarnishing his record coming back time after time just to get his ass kicked.

I know the rematch with Hopkins won't happen but his just shows that Tito will likely come back with another oponent and won't retire for a while.

 

You think that's bad, I just read Hector Camacho and Yori Boy Campas are fighting next month...on Pay Per View.

Well you are wrong. I am a big Trinidad fan, but I voted for Wilfredo Gomez in that poll. Most of the people that voted for Trinidad are not vocal Trinidad fans, but uninformed boxing fans.

 

NICE!!!...

A Perpetual QUITTER vs. a Perpetual RUNNER...Can't Wait!!!....


REED:cheer:

 

On Camacho's behalf I'll say this: for a 46 year old boxer who should be retired after his DLH defeat in 1997, he continued fighting and winning until 2003 when he lost a Technical Decision to Chris Walsh and hasn't lost again since. Only 5 defeats in 86 bouts. Campas is younger and stronger, but has been punished more than Camacho. If the Macho Man still has any gas left in the tank he will beat Campas and maybe even stop him by mid rounds.

 

what am I wrong about?

That Trinidad is the most overrated fighter of the last 20 years?

Im not wrong about that one bit

 

Easily.


Tito is not even an great fighter. At best, he is just good. I can't think of a fighter with more rabid, homosexual fans who accomplished less. He was dominated against ever single A level fighter he fought, including DLH.

Tito was uncompetetive against the best. Period and that is an indisputable fact.

 

About assuming that there are a lot of Trinidad groupies here thus your comment about the "Best Puertorican fighter ever' poll. And wrong again, Trinidad is not overrated. You just don't accept other opinions different than yours regarding Trinidad.:nono:

Fightnews caught up with former three-division world champion Felix ‘Tito’ Trinidad, who updated what was previously reported on Fightnews of a rematch between Tito and Bernard ‘The Executioner’ Hopkins. †It is true that we’re working on a rematch between Hopkins and I,†said Trinidad. “There are still some details that need to be worked out but we will meet at a catchweight that will be determined. The fight will be in Madison Square Garden in New York at the end of 2009.â€

LOL at Tito. All he's done the last several years is retire, get beat up, and retire again. Rinse, repeat.
