Tito received an offer to Fight Taylor, but he wants to fight Hopkins or De La Hoya. Hopkins indicated that he does not want to fight Tito again. I really think that the fight that Tito has to search is De La Hoya. However, his father is indicating that the fight has to be at 166, which is something that makes this fight almost impossible because De La Hoya is going in the opposite direction in weight.
I have to say that I am really mad with Tito's father who I believe is making damage to his career at this moment. I believe that Tito can still make a couple of good fights, but not at weights over 160, this is a big mistake. In the initial rounds with RJJ he looked quick, strong with good reflexes, but RJJ physical advantage was evident as soon as he landed a good shot, and Tito could not hurt him. And, as I said this will hurt Tito's career (and I hope not him physically) because he is fighting at a weight class where he does not belong and his father does not see that.
Hey P.R Punch , i agree with you when you say that his father made damage on Titos Career , but the point is that Tito cant make less of 170 pnd. , is sooo difficult for him to make it , dont think that they even had try it , but IMO i think that Tito should leave boxing , i know that he can make some more money , but in addition he blemished his career and all glory that he reached for him and for the Country ...............;)Quote:

plain and simple Trindad can make 160 he just might need more time between fights to do it, and if by some chance that he can't, well he has no business being in the ring as a fighter, cause he has no chance at 168 or anywhere else above that, IMO, Kessler, Miranda (at 168), Taylor, Pavlik, Bute, Calzaghe, Jones (again), Hopkins (again), will all beat Trinidad
I agree that Trinidad has no business fighting above 160. Even at that weight, his record was a mediocre 3-2 (wins against Joppy, Cherifi, Mayorga.... losses to Hopkins and Winky). Going to 170 to fight Jones Jr. was ridiculous. He gave it his best shot and actually looked sharp in the beginning, but it became painfully obvious early on that he was never going to hurt Jones Jr.Quote:

Watch the old tapes that is the great Tito, he will never be that again, any further ring ventures are to fill his pockets only
You fail to understand what it is that makes fighters continue to fight beyond their glory years. (See another thread I started on the subject). I'm sure a few million in the ol' bank account doesn't hurt, but it involves more than that.Quote:

I can name several reasons why fighters keep on past their prime:Quote:

You and me both. In reality, Trinidad-De la Hoya II would be the ONLY fight I'd like Tito to fight, and preferably at 160.Quote:
