    At this point man, just hang the gloves up. How can anyone say he fought great against Jones?? It looked like a flashier version of Winky vs Tito. He had no idea what to do against Jones.

    Pavlik, Miranda, Forrest, Calzaghe, Kessler, and even Jermain Taylor would beat Trinidad. So is he just fighting to be a circus show???
    you must remember that it was because he was retired, if he plans to keep fighting he will keep running and training part-time until he gets an opponent, and trinidad basically gets to pick whatever opponent he chooses really, floyd said hed fight tito at 160, pavlik would not say no, taylor would not say no, hopkins, miranda, any of those guys...would NOT say no to a fight with trinidad.

      Agree with both of your last two posts...

      Tito is still a formidable foe for the 160/168 crowd. Because of his hall of fame career all anybody wants to see him fight are the big names, and while he would lose against most of them, the style matchups are much better than Hopkins/Winky/RJJ for him. Those three are three of the five best P4P fighters in this generation.

      The style match-ups against Pavlik and Abraham would make for wars...Tito's last war was against Mayorga. That kind of fight is his kind of fight, not matching wits with boxing geniuses like the three guys he lost to.

        I also think that Tito-DLH II in December is a great idea as a farewell for both fighters. I just don't think DLH is going to give in to DK's demands for that fight, the biggest of which is weight. Tito will really struggle to make 160, DLH doesn't want to go north of 154. It may be impossible to do at that point.

          Tito has dropped middleweights before, with ease. He could have done it longer but rushed into a fight with Bernard. Pavlik is hittable. Tito hits as hard as Taylor. Tito can make Pavlik taste canvas.

          Hey bro, saying Tito will make 147 is nuts. Ain't gonna happen. 154 is highly questionable as well.

          Tito can fight at 160, 10 lbs less than where he came in at vs Roy.

            Tito's best chance is against an imobile brawler.

              I'd love to see Tito-Pavlik or Tito-Taylor. When DK first talked about him coming back the three likely opponents were RJJ, Mayweather (still laughable but he said it), and Taylor.

              I was hoping Taylor would beat Pavlik and then lose to Tito. Then Tito could have retired as middleweight champ after all. Oh well. It still makes $en$e to make something happen with the loser of that fight. The winner will probably get a shot at Calzaghe.

                He shouldn't fight middleweights and light heavyweights.

                  I.E. Kelly Pavlik.

                  Everyone is saying he has no shot, but don't forgot that Tito has never been out-gunned in a slug-fest, by anyone.

                  Kelly is there to hit and be hit. It would be interesting.

                    Its possible. But Tito has to want it, a fighter can get to almost any weight if they are willing to make the sacrifices and completley dedicate themselves to their goal.

                      Tito should do like Oscar and fight smaller opponents...He could fight margarito at 160-165 in Puerto Rico and sell that ****...

                      but, I think that when he came back from retirement to fight Mayorga, he made a 5 fight deal with Don king; 10 Millions minimum per fight...So he fought Winky, Mayorga, and Jones...He still owes Don two more fights.

                      ****, since the trend is to fight "contenders", why not fight someone like Norberto Bravo or Sakio Bika!
