Is Felix Trinidad a ATG?

[DeepSleep]

He was a very overrated fighter who needed illegally wrapped hands to become successful.

There is a lot to the Tito wraps story and it isn't very clear what exactly happened. Tito's wraps were illegal because Felix Sr. applied tape to his knuckles and layered tape and gauze while he wrapped his knuckles; both are illegal in NYSAC rules.

Now alone the advantages of simply adding more tape aren't substantial enough to make a fighters hand turn into a brick but when you dip the tape in ice water the tape will seize and harden. If you have layers of tape and tape on your knuckles when you dip your hand into the ice water the layers of tape will seize up and harden making your wraps harder. If your bored try it at home, I didn't believe it worked until I tried it myself at home.

Now there is no question as to whether Tito's wraps had tape on the knuckles and layers of tape, Tito Sr. admits that’s how he wrapped his son’s hands because he believes it provides more protection. Many fighters hands are wrapped in a similar fashion, as ***** pointed out Kessler's trainer wrapped his hands like that and was forced to re-wrap them without much fuss made. The mystery is whether he dipped his hands into ice water to stiffen the tape before his fights.

Now again we don’t know much other than Tito’s hands were wrapped with layers of tape which is illegal under NYSAC rules, so it’s very tough to draw a conclusion. Still he shouldn't be thought of as a scumbag like Margarito because he tape - stacked his hands..
