Punch Power: 507 | | Re: Tito........ WTF are you doing?!?!? I understand this guys concern but i really don't think it will be as bad as some people think, it's nice to see someone that is a fan of a certian fighter being realistic though..

Punch Power: 851 | | Re: Tito........ WTF are you doing?!?!? Its a fight that makes me think of Winky moving up to fight BHop. Tito loses almost any possible advantage.
I wish him all the best but it is a fight that makes little sense to me. |

Actually, now that I think about it Tito's the only one with anything to gain. I mean obviously besides the money factor which is clearly a huge factor, its lose-lose for Roy. He beats Tito, who cares? He loses to Tito, think of how much shit he would take. And I'm not trying to denigrate Tito but its a Tito that's been in retirement pretty much for most of the last five years and one who has absolutely no business fighting at 160, much less 170. |

Jones will earn a fair bit from this and it's a fight he should win. When your career is on the downhill slope, taking a name and as much money as possible is what he should do. |

Punch Power: 76 | | Re: Tito........ WTF are you doing?!?!? Yeah i think tito is goin way too far in weight. And although roy isnt at his best these days, the guy got skills and he got power! Now i like tito as much as the next fan but i saw him hurt by winky, whats gonna happen if roys right hand catches him? I dont think tito will handle his power.

Punch Power: 2 | | Re: Tito........ WTF are you doing?!?!? Yeah, not a good move for Tito. I wouldn't have minded a fight with Forrest at 154 for his first fight back. Those two never fought in their primes, and I think it'd be an intriguing matchup. Then, if he won, he could move up to 160. With Taylor and Pavlik both having trouble making weight, they'll both probably go to 168 pretty soon (in Taylor's case its pretty much a done deal). That would leave a power vacuum in the division that I could see him filling even at 36. Might even be able to unify the titles. Oh well, that isn't going to happen now. I just can't see him winning this with the size disadvantage. |

Punch Power: 6 | | Re: Tito........ WTF are you doing?!?!? Do you think Tito is fighting at this weight because he's lazy and doesn't want to go all the way down to 160? I hope Tito actually worked on some plan b's and c's, because I don't think I can watch him walk around the ring with his head snapping back for 12 rounds. I kind of like this fight for Tito because he is expected to lose, and if he wins it's just that much better, butI have to agree with you Titofan and say WTF was he thinking? Let's just hope that this isn't for a payday because I am a DIEHARD Tito fan. If it looks like his heart isn't in it, and him and Roy are all buddy, buddy like him and Winky I'm gonna be pissed  You don't have to hate the guy your fighting, but at least make us think you do.

  | | Re: Tito........ WTF are you doing?!?!? If Tito makes a fight of this he will do better out of it than Roy Jones. But he will lose, o doubt about. End of the day.. Fighter's fight. |

Punch Power: 16 | | Re: Tito........ WTF are you doing?!?!? A lot of you guys are talking about 154. Yes this was Tito's best weight in most eyes but the fact is Tito can't do 154lb, no way. He walks around at about 200lbs now. He will be lucky to make 160.
I do agree that his best option is 160. Call me crazy but I say he could beat Taylor, Pavlik, Abraham, Strum, Miranda and pretty much every other Middleweight right now. Many say he didn't do good at Middleweight well if I remember correctly he blew away the seccond best MW at the time in 5 rounds. Then he lossed to one of the top 3 MWs of ALL TIME. Being seccond to Hopkins is not that bad. I even here people say if he had fought Kieth Holmes he would've lossed. Are you F***ing kidding me Hacine Cherifi beat Holmes. Tito did very well at 160 and could still do well.
Like I said before, the only problem with Tito is inactivity, not weight. |
