Good post Rookie fan.
I like tito a lot, found him an amiable, appealing sort of a fellow.
I also thought as a national icon he was extremely well grounded and one of the "good guys." Always loved his style, (as it's not all that unlike my own!)
I'd give Tito the Nod against the majority of fighters at 147. However his power, although respectable did not travel well on the journey from 147 to 154. I actually felt his best weapon at LM and Midlle was his jab and i thought he had done very well apart from the Hopkins and Wright fights.
But.....Julian Jackson, i'm not a fan so please don't mistake me for a misguided worshipper. But my god, what SCARY power at Middleweight. And the McClellan fights illustrated he had a good chin also, to put up with McClellans sinister straight right for five rounds was testament to his endurance and will to fight.
I just feel the size discrepancy would be too much for Tito, although who knows the emergence of the best "big" trinidad may be yet to come.
