    if you consistently fight at 160 you better be a middleweight, otherwise it's your problem.

    Roy Jones was smaller than most of his opponents at 175, does that make him a ”false lighheavyweight“?

      Yup, Whitaker should not count, he was crackhead and washed up when he lost to Tito.

        Dropped Virgil Hill with a bodyshot!

        Y'all musta forgot! Hill is considered a HOF fighter

          The point is Tito was not fighting consistently at 160, he was a true welterweight and that was Tito's prime, not 160.

          As for Jones he fought at 175 for 12 years and that makes him a true 175 pounder.

            So Tito's prime was over at 27?

                  Jones Prime was 168 lbs

                  No matter how much he dominated the LHW division you cant forget he started two divisions below that, I cant see how you can defend tito for being small but not roy, is it because roy dominated and tito got dominated?

                    Not if he stayed at 147, Tito's chin was not even that great at 147 so for him to move up to fight true monster middleweights like Hopkins, then it should not count.

                      Does it occur to you that MAYBE he could not make 147 comfortably anymore, because his body was growing? Like Roy Jones could not make 160 comfortably anymore.
