He won based on his skill. Hopkins did everything right in that fight. If size muscle and strength was the factor then why did Tito keep coming at him??
I never said he did. You like some others are completely misunderstanding what I'm saying. Winning because you are the stronger man does not neccessarily have to mean some sort of physical mauling. It can mean, as it did in the Hopkins - Tito fight, that because your opponent cannot really hurt you, and cannot impose himself on you, that you are able to box entirely your own fight in a cool and controlled manner, and by and large control him, exactly as Hopkins did.
If you think Tito can't hurt Hopkins then you are WRONG. I guess you didn't see why Hopkins was so defensive in that fight eh? Ever seen Tito vs William Joppy?? Look at what Tito did to Joppy...Then look at what Hopkins did to Joppy.
True,but my point is Hopkins would of clearly outclassed Tito even if they were naturally the same size.
Hopkins is by far the better boxer, but it would have been a much more competitive fight and I don't think Tito would've been stopped if they were the same size. Oscar would've beaten Hopkins if they were the same size, IMO.

You are right about Oscar beating Hopkins if they were the same size,but like someone already stated Tito has always been vulnerable to a jab and Hopkins has the better defensive skills.He most likely wouldn't of been stopped tho,Tito has a granite chin
