Hacine Cherifi: WHO ?

Ricardo Mayorga: Mayorga wasn't a proper middleweight like Tito so this win counts for virtually nothing in this argument as it was just to blown-up welters.

So Tito's KO's meant nothing at 160. So how can he KO someone at 10lbs more. We've seen how 10lbs or even less can drain fighters power which would be disastorous for Felix. Tito's latest impressive win was against 'El Feroz' in 2000. 8 YEARS AGO. He's finished IMO.
You gotta at least give him credit for the Joppy win. Tito was the only guy to stop him, ever, and Joppy beat an undefeated, prime Howard Eastman in next bout after the loss. By the time Taylor shut him out, Joppy was 3 years older, and he been through tough fights with Tito (a KO), Eastman (tough MD), and Hopkins. And at that time, Taylor was still a KO puncher - KO'd his previous 6 opponents, but he couldn't stop a much older, worn version of Joppy. When Tito fought Joppy, Joppy was the 3rd best MW in the world, behind Tito and B-Hop, and then Joppy beat Eastman in his next fight, Eastman was probably the 4th best MW at the time. How can you discount that? The Joppy KO is case and point that Tito had his power at 160.

That being said, I think Tito is finished from inactivity, but I bet he can still punch, and don't forget, Jones has a suspect beard. Jones has been more active, but this version of Roy Jones is a shadow his former self. So, yeah, I think Tito can KO Jones, lights out. I just don't think he's going to get the chance to do it unless Roy fights a very stupid fight (a possibility) or underestimates Tito's power. Jones should be able to move, rip of some counters, move, and move some more, but if Jones tries one of his chicken-dance moves, he could end up tasting canvas.
