Thanks brazillianbomber for doing it for me CC 294 for standing by your man like I should've done.

Tito is often criticized for his performance as a Middleweight and his fight with DLH. Lets talk about that for a bit. Joppy was a champion for just about the same amount of time that Hopkins was at the time. He was just as established as Hopkins as a 160lber. He had only one loss which he avenged. He was known to be the seccond best 160lb champion. And Tito destroyed him.

Hopkins is considered by many as a top 5 middleweight ALL TIME. And he was a big 160lber. Not only that. He fought a near perfect fight against Tito. Whatch that fight. It was perfect consentration and a performance from Hopkins we have not seen often. Being seccond to Hopkins is not too bad.

As for Wright, I never really considered him a truelly great fighter. He was a defensive master but he has been beat by lesser fighters and he fought a semi active, somewhat unmotivated and unprepared Tito in what I would call a stylistic mismatch. That fight is really hard to watch for me as I could tell Tito pretty much gave up around the 5th round.

Now we go to DLH. I would go as far to say that if DLH fought like he did in the first 9 rounds against anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, he would probably be winning. Again, it is a case of someone fighting a perfect fight. And Tito still kept it close enough to pull off the W.

I got a question for you chamiley. If Tito was not the best WW of his era, than who was?

At this point, PBF has not established without a doubt that he is the best WW of his own era. I have seen nothing that Floyd has done to tell me he could beat Tito. Yes Floyd has some great skills and is an all around better boxer. But put them in the ring together and I see Tito overpowering the smaller Mayweather.

Sorry for long post. The bad thing about arguing in a forum is no one can tell you to shut up when you are babling

You think maybe it's more than coincidental that in your mind, everyone to beat Tito fought a "perfect fight" Perhaps it had something to do with how Tito allowed them to perform as well
First, hope you all had a great night and I wish you all the best this coming year.

p4pking, when had DLH ever fought like that?, Ever, tell me one fight and I will agree with you.

As for Hopkins. Ask anybody here how great of a performance that was by Hopkins. It was one of those few one sided fights that was very entertaining (cept for us Tito fans LOL) because it was masterly the way B-Hop handled Tito.
