    I dunno. His power at 147 was unreal.

I still think that they would struggle with Margarito and Mayweather though. Anyone would struggle with a guy that could take your best shots and not be effected by them and is a hard puncher himself. I would favor De La Hoya and Mosley over Mayweather. Mosley with his busy volume punching style and i figure if a past his prime De La Hoya nearly beat Floyd, then i prime Oscar could pull it off and definitely had the stamina to do it back when he was in his prime.
      Mosely doesn't have defense and DLH was weak against someone who could throw a good jab. Tito was a MONSER I would favor him against every other WW except Mayweather. Mayweather is a better boxer then Vargas and look what Vargas did to Tito.

        You should be saying that with confidence! Just becuz Margarito took Cotto's best shots doesn't mean that he'd take Tito's. There are harder punchers then Cotto like Zab, Cintron, Margarito and Mosely. Margarit has NO DEFENSE how would he take a left or right hook to the chin from Tito. Trust me when I say this, Tito left and right hook will land at the start of the bell.

          william joppy who spent most of his career at 160 and had a few fights at 168 and 175 was only koed one time at middleweight.

            Maybe. If he didnt get knocked out in the process of cracking that chin. Tito doesnt defend like Cotto. He would get tagged a lot more. I like Tito's chances better at 154.


            Pick a good boxer and he has a good chance of beating Margo, but destruction I dont know.

              Do you remember what it sounded like? It was sickening. Like a baseball bat hitting a g****fruit:

                i remember that fight like yesterday......

                it was one fight before the beginning of the end for tito.

                at the time i honestly thought tito would unify 160 and 168 on the way to superfight with roy......

                bernard hopkins is a piece of ****.





                sidenote: hopkins in jail used to give out sexual favors to fellow inmates for cigarettes. sometimes 2-3 guys at the same time...... slut.
