hopkins UD. no disputes or controversy. easy comfortable UD win. hopkins beats wright in every department. after taylor, wright looked like he was in a fight, and hopkins had no welts or bruises, but jus looked pissed cuz he got robbed (the 1st time).
HOPKINS UD - no one is going down this fight.Comment

you are right but tito never fought floyd so it was a prediction,
but in this case tito fought both and lost against winky and b-hop,
so i guess his prediction is quite credible this timeComment

As already pointed out, Tito's picks for fights don't have a solid history. Aside from that he's probably still really bitter about the ass whipping Bernard gave him, I mean Winky beat him, but Hopkins destroyed him. I thought it was funny on the "Countdown to Hopkins/Wright" when Hopkins found out that Trinidad was in Winky's camp giving him advice.
Hopkins goes "Lets say I'm in the street and I get beat up. Then I go get the other guy that the guy that beat me up beat up and ask him for help. What sense does that make? What can Trinidad tell him about me that he couldn't figure out in 12 rounds and get knocked out?"Comment

But in the streets you also don't get credited for beating up a smaller man than you, if you ever saw tito and hopkins in person, you'll see how lil trinidad is, tito gets points for steping up in class,hopkins stood at middleweight ti'll he fought taver. I'm not saying tito didnt get beat up, or wouldnt have gotten beat up if hopkins didnt move down to get him, but most boxers first losses come when they try to test their will and skills by moving up in class, ala ricky hatton, to me he lost to collazo, then ran back down.Comment

Tito is a flat footed fighter, thats why when he stepped up on level of competition like against hopkins and wright. He got his ass kicked really bad. He fights as bad as gomez does against an old gatti. Flat footed doesn't work against the elites.
If tito came back to the ring to fight jones jr, he would get his ass whooped unless he learned to move his legs and not keep his feet so flat footed.Comment
