I agree with much of the things said here. I'm a huge fan of Tito but he has made some bad choices in his life. Number one in that list that no one has mentioned yet is not getting a new trainer that would actually teach him something. By the time Tito became champion (at age 20) he had already surpassed his dad by a mile and would learn nothing more from him. I understand ot was his dad but Tito should've moved on long ago.
I can't fault him for moving to 160 though. You gotta remember that at the time the only big name in that area was De La Hoya and he had just lossed to a then not so popular Mosley. Quartay was semi inactive and had recently been beaten by Vargas. All the other fighters mentioned here were not even in Trinidad's stratosphere at the time.
But pretty much everything else he did after the loss was pretty damn stupid.
