Félix "Tito" Trinidad began boxing at the young age of 12 on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where many boxing legends also call home. Tito was raised in a boxing environment as his father and manager Félix Trinidad Sr. was a Puerto Rican featherweight champion in the mid '70s. Felix Trinidad had a solid amateur career winning five Puerto Rican National Amateur Championships at (100 pounds, 112, 119, 126 and 132). He posted an amateur career record of 51-6, but only had 12 knockouts. When the president of the amateur boxing federation in Puerto Rico wanted Trinidad to abandon the 126 pound division so another boxer could compete in the 1992 Olympics, Félix Sr. became fed up with the politics and Trinidad never competed in the Olympics and decided to go pro. In his first world title bout on June 19, 1993, Trinidad took on two-time world champion Maurice Blocker for the IBF welterweight crown. Trinidad took control of the bout from the opening bell, rocking Blocker with powerful shots with both hands. Trinidad finished Blocker off at 1:59 of the second round with a knockout that left Blocker on the canvas for several minutes, solidifying Trinidad's status as a devastating puncher with power in both hands.
On January 29, 1994, Trinidad scored a unanimous decision over Hector "Macho" Camacho. Trinidad dominated the fight against the flamboyant "Macho Man." It was fight that vaulted Trinidad to the elite of the boxing world. Following what was then the longest layoff of his career (eight months), Trinidad was matched up against Luis Ramon "Yory Boy" Campas, whom many were calling the next Chavez. Campas carried with him a remarkable 56-0 record with 50 knockouts. The fight took place on September 17, 1994 as part of the Mexican Independence celebration. Campas, who had the crowd behind him, sent Trinidad to the canvas with a quick, short left hook in the second round. Though the punch seemed to stun Trinidad rather than hurt him, the frenzied crowd sensed Campas would finish him off. But the young Puerto Rican sensation showed why he's champion, as he roared back in the fourth round and landed a dozen unanswered blows to the head of Campas. Referee Richard Steele had no choice but to stop the punishment and fight shortly thereafter. On December 10, 1994, in Monterrey, Mexico, Trinidad faced the most formidable challenger of his career, then undefeated Oba "Motor City" Carr. After an uneventful first round, a straight right hand in round two not only sent Trinidad to the canvas, but also woke up the champion. For the next five rounds, Trinidad controlled the fight, and in the eighth round, Trinidad floored Carr twice. After getting up for the second time, Trinidad unleashed four unanswered blows to Carr's head, prompting the referee to stop the fight. Trinidad went on to defend the IBF welterweight title 16 times against many quality opponents. Trinidad, now feeling that he solidified the welterweight division, set his goals on earning another title. He continued his choice of quality opponent and faced undefeated WBC welterweight champion "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya. In a highly publicized match, Félix Trinidad out-dueled, De La Hoya in a unanimous 12-round decision to retain his IBF title while taking De La Hoya's WBC title. Promoter Don King created a Middleweight World Championship Series where four boxers will fight against each other to determine who will be the undisputed Middleweight champion, a feat that hasn't been done since the great since Sugar Ray Leonard beat Marvelous Marvin Hagler in 1987. The winner will also win the first Sugar Ray Robinson trophy. Trinidad's first opponent in the new division was William Joppy. A true middleweight at 160 who was holder of the WBA title since 1998. Trinidad, in his first fight at this new weight, destroyed Joppy in 5 rounds knocking him down 3 times during the fight. "I always knew I was a middleweight," Trinidad said at the post-fight press conference at Madison Square Garden. "I knew I was going to knock him out." Trinidad showed devastating power at this new weight and proved to everyone that he is a force to be reckoned with in the Middleweight division. Trinidad moved on to the finale of the Middleweight World Championship Series against Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins. When the Middleweight Championship series first began in March, everyone felt that Tito Trinidad was going to be crowned as the undisputed middleweight champion and the first recipient of the Sugar Ray Robinson trophy. But to the surprise of many, Trinidad would suffer his first defeat. In the finale of the Middleweight Championship Series, Hopkins knocked down Trinidad and stopped him at 1:43 of the final round before a stunned crowd of 19,075 in Madison Square Garden. Hopkins fought Trinidad well and obviously did his homework. He studied Trinidad's style for months and had an answer for his every move. Trinidad couldn't get his feet set and deliver that devastating blow which has taken out so many of his past opponents. Hopkins was flawless and fought the perfect fight against one of the best fighters of this modern era.
