    That's the thing that worries me about this match up. If Spinks doesn't last a few rounds, then it's worthless.

      I keep reading on here how Tito is ripping us off as fans by fighting Corey Spinks next, and while I would never pay to see this on PPV, it makes sense as a building fight to me.

      Corey Spinks is a fast, moving fighter. Granted, he doesn't have any pop, but he's very hard to hit clean for a stand-up fighter like Tito. I see people posting that Judah was able to hit him, but Judah is another mover.

      Tito, in his comeback fight, displayed something I have never seen him do before. He consistently used lateral movement throughout the fight with Mayorga. This is something new to his arsenal of skills and he really needs to develop it if he's going to stand any kind of chance in a rematch with Hopkins.

      From that perspective, I see Spinks as a near perfect opponent for him. Yes, I understand that Spinks won't test his chin, but that's not the point. We already know that Tito has a decent beard. The point is to test whether or not he can catch a mover, and very few fighters at the top level move as well as Spinks. This fight could actually help bring us a new Tito, Felix the Complete Fighter, rather than Felix the Puncher.

      I am willing to forgive him this one match in his comeback career. After that, I want to see him in against Sturm or Hopkins. If he fights another blown up welterweight, I will join you guys in kicking him to the curb.

      I have no desire, though, to see him in a rematch with DLH. I think that would be an even more boring fight than Tito v Spinks. DLH has proven he can't handle the weight at 160 in both his fights there.
      Tito always looks great when he has someone stand in front of him. I wasn't impresed with the Mayorga fight.

      I dont see how anyone can say fighting the undisputed Welterwight Champion of the World is a waste of time.

        I think Cory will be a good fight for Tito although i am pretty sure what the outcome will be. Saying that, this is a completely diffrent fight for Tito compared to Mayorga and even though Cory doesn't have the power to make Tito respect him he most certainly has the boxing skills and speed. I like Tito alot and he brings that explosive atmosphere to the ring which is hard to find these days, people can call me what they want but i have faith in a good fighter and thats Felix Trinidad.
