Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah ha ha ha ha!!!

Holy S***, man!!! Tito just made himself & his comeback look a whooooooole lot sillier than it actually is.

Why doesn't he just man up & state that he can't do S*** against real boxers. Anyone with technical skills & a defense makes Trinidad look silly. Not an excuse. He was at his best when he faced Hopkins & Hopkins schooled him.

I hate to hear S*** like that.
I don't want Tito to come back anymore than you do. He's got N-O-T-H-I-N-G to prove. He's a sure lock HOF'er, with a record others can only wish they had. As for "anyone with technical skills and a defense makes Trinidad look silly".... that's the same ol' song and dance we've heard since Day One. Wacko, you know we'll never see eye-to-eye on this. To say what you said is to dis every fighter Tito ever beat in his illustrious career. I keep harping that fighters like Oba Carr were VERY good boxers, but somehow that always gets swept under the carpet, like it never happened. Go back and watch some vintage Tito fights. He's better than you give him credit for. And for the record, the only way I'd like to see him come back would be against De La Hoya at 160 pounds. I'm not a betting man, but I'd make an exception for this one.
