Though he has never lost, a hovering uncertainty follows him into the ring. He has been knocked down more times than any undefeated champion in recent memory. He is neither a bully nor a braggart. Once in a while he says he will win and that he s the best. But he does it with the countenance one would use in reciting their social security number.
Facts are facts.
Trinidad has sought out and beaten everyone that challenged him. At welterweight it was Pernell Whitaker and Oscar De La Hoya. At junior middleweight it was David Reid and Fernando Vargas. At middleweight it was Joppy, with Hopkins on deck. Enjoy this man while you can.
