Felix Trinidad - Over or underrated?

Question

Like everything it gets skewed based on who or what you are talking about. Just from a boxing standpoint, what do you think?

Answer 1

I completely agree with Liam. . .. history treated Tito with all the accolades that his talent afforded him.  He was a great champion, true to his Puerto Rican heritage, fought all comers, usually ended his fights with KILLER knockouts, and is still revered everywhere he goes.  He's beloved (as he should be) and he'll go into the IBHOF on his first eligible ballot.

Answer 2

Neither to be honest, he got the credit he deserved.

Answer 3

He is neither.

He only lost to champs and was devastating at 147 lbs.  One of the best at welter over the last couple of decades and probably highly rated overall.

Imagine if he were around now at 147 lbs.  Would we be having all these conversations about Cotto, PBF or Margarito?

He would deliver KO's against all current welters.

Answer 4

I think he was viewed as he should have been viewed in his prime he was one of boxing's best and he ducked no one.
