Juan Félix "Tito" Trinidad García (born January 10, 1973), best known as Félix Trinidad, is a Puerto Rican former professional boxer, considered one of the best in Puerto Rico's history. After winning five national amateur championships in Puerto Rico, Trinidad debuted as a professional in 1990, when he was seventeen. He would go on to become a three-weight world champion, first by defeating Maurice Blocker to win the IBF welterweight title in 1993. Trinidad holds the record for the second most welterweight title defenses, with fifteen, and also holds the record for longest reign as welterweight champion, at six years, eight months and fourteen days.

As his career continued, he defeated Oscar De La Hoya to win the WBC and lineal welterweight titles in 1999;Fernando Vargas to win the unified WBA and IBF light middleweight titles in 2000; and William Joppy to win the WBA middleweight title in 2001. Trinidad's first professional loss was against Bernard Hopkins later in 2001, who scored a technical knockout. Following this, Trinidad retired from boxing for the first time. He returned to action by defeating Ricardo Mayorga in 2004 and, after a losing effort against Winky Wright in 2005, retired for a second time. In 2008, he returned to the ring to fight Roy Jones Jr., losing by unanimous decision. Subsequently, Trinidad entered a five-year hiatus without clarifying the status of his career.
