How would you rate Felix Trinidad's level of opposition?

I give him a 9 actually. It is a big miss that he did not fight Mosley. It would've been a big fight after they both beat Oscar De La Hoya (late 2000 or early 2001). That loses him the only point I can take from him. Not only has he fought this who's who's list of fighters...he always challenged himself against bigger and better . He went undefeated through 140, 147, 154, until he ran into Hopkins at 160 (who is probably the greatest Middleweight champion ever). 3 of his opponents made Bert Sugar's list of the 100 greatest fighters of all time ( Whitaker, Hopkins and Jones). Of all the foes he fought only Jones was past prime. Hector Camacho actually has a better resume, but this is an awesome one.
