However, I do wish Tito had kept fighting instead of retiring. There's no shame in losing to Hopkins, who's an all-time great middleweight and who fought the fight of his life that night. Tito had nothing to be ashamed of, he should have moved back to 154 and kept fighting, he could've become a champ there again quickly.
