A great top 10 fighter from Puerto Rico.
A great top 25 Latin Fighter ever pound for pound?.....Not!
A top 20 all time great welterweight?.....Yes!
A top 100 all time p4p great?.....Doesn't make the cut in my view. But, at least, he makes the top 50 greats of the last 50 years in my view.

In my view Felix Trinidad is a top 100 pound 4 pound great and he deserves the recognition with all he's accomplish,he was one the best & he defeated some of the best as well.

It was Holyfield that turned me on to boxing.
It was Tito that made me fall in love with boxing.

Plus he would probably rank pretty high as far as the 1990's decade is concerned. One of the better fighters of the decade.

Yes, I agree with you that Tito was one of the very best of the 90s, no doubt, but, he comes short in the top 100 ATG p4p ever...Way short.
