    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?
    He didn't fought enough at 168, the Roid was making him bigger, so he was a true 175 pounder unlike Tito.

      Tito started fighting at 160 pretty much at the same age at which Jones started fighting at 175. 27-28 years old

        Your body does not grow after the age of 28, he was just being lazy like most fighters are. Look at Hopkins the men stayed at 160 up to 40 and the guy is over 6' tall.

        If Tito really wanted to work hard like Hopkins then he could've easily stayed at 147.

            That does not change the fact that 168 was his best weight, it's a bit like Mayweatehr @140. Short stay, but looking more spectacular than ever.

              So much hate here it's not even funny. The truth is Tito has not been KTFO, and will never get dropped by some B-level ex-crackhead.

                Gunny, that doesn't matter if he fought enough or not, RJJ at 168 lbs was at his best, better than 160,175 or HW.

                  Age has nothing to do with boxing. The point is Jones stayed at 175 for 12 years and Tito had a few fights at 160.

                    That is absolutely arbitrary. Look at MAyweather filling up at 147, now that he is 29-30.

                    Even if 28 was the limit. Tito was fighting at 28 at 160. And his last fight at 147 was in 99, when he was I guess 26.
