    Tito is way past his best! He should definately retire, he has moved up too many divisions and not really carried his power with him. if he trained hard and took the weight off he could be competitive but never elite again.

      No. He'll probably retire after Taylor destroys him.

        he's done. if he could get his lazy ass back down to jr middle then he would be elite, otherwise he's outpowered and if continued in these higher weights will get ktfo real soon.

          He's too far gone to get back to elite status. I cringed when I saw the catch weight for the Jones fight. The only reason it wasn't a knockout was that Jones isn't exactly a young man himself. He'll lose to Taylor and hopefully retire. He looks like a smart guy, he's got to have millions saved, he doesn't need to be doign this.

              it is a bit difficult to know as he has confused matters by fighting above his weight. He should not entertain fighting above light middle, the main guys at MW and SMW can take his punches and dish it back in spades.

              COuld he still make 154?? If he could it isn't one of the stronger divisons so he could shine

                No...he stayed away too long. He's won one fight in the last six years.

                  he was an average middleweight so he has no business at supermiddleweight.

                    He's missed too much time with these longass layoffs to be truly elite anymore. He took a bad beatin from B-Hop, a boxing lesson from Winky, and a mild combo of both from RJ. He ain't ruined physically but he's too past his best to be considered a top guy. I'd like to see him go out now instead of finishing up with any more losses.

                      Im 100% PR and I would root for him if he fights thats just pride but being realistic after I saw Jones/Trinidad I really don't think Tito shouldn't fight anymore his time is over is Cotto's time now and after Cotto there will be another one is just how it is, I think Trinidad just has a hard time letting go
