When he best Joppy at MIDDLEWEIGHT everyone was saying how good of a MW he is and that his power carried over when moving up. Then he faces Hopkins and is out boxed than everyone makes excuses he was too small actually Tito weighed in more. Hopkins reach was only 2 ½ more than Tito.Comment

just because you beat a middleweight champion doesn't mean you're a natural middleweight.When he best Joppy at MIDDLEWEIGHT everyone was saying how good of a MW he is and that his power carried over when moving up. Then he faces Hopkins and is out boxed than everyone makes excuses he was too small actually Tito weighed in more. Hopkins reach was only 2 ½ more than Tito.
just because he punched like a middleweight doesn't mean he's a natural middleweight.
pac won a belt at 135 does that mean he's not a natural featherweight which he is?
floyd won a belt at 154 does that mean he's a natural junior middleweight and not a natural lightweight?Comment

Why did excuses come for him after he got destroyed by Hopkins? It was all praise when he beat Joppy but the **** talking started after Hopkins annihilated him.Trinidad was a 2-to-1 betting favorite.just because you beat a middleweight champion doesn't mean you're a natural middleweight.

explanations can be called excuses. excuses can be called explanations.
who gives a **** about odds? that's for betting. tito was the popular guy. bernard was nothing but a road bump for most people. the money was gonna be on tito. that's why the odds are like that.
i hope you're just trolling because if you're not trolling and you're serious...... i just don't know.Comment

Oscar fans don’t make excuses after he lost to Hopkins about size; it was a close fight until the body shot. Betting doesn’t matter, that is why Ali win over Sonny Liston is legendary and Buster over Tyson. There was a favorite and they lost and was expected to fight. No one talked about size before the fight but it come up after Hopkins win. After Hopkins one good win than losing to Winky and RJJexplanations can be called excuses. excuses can be called explanations.

oscar's loss to bernard isn't even mentioned.
it's because everyone knows oscar is a natural welterweight fighting a natural middleweight.
you get explanations and excuses screwed up.
excuse is why you loss when you shouldn't have. example: "tyson lost to buster because he didn't train properly and he took buster lightly." that's an excuse.
explanation is one of the reasons someone lost. example: "tyson was past prime and old when he lost to mcbride.
if someone says , "tito is a natural welterweight fighting a natural middleweight." that is an explanation of why he lost.
if someone says , "tito didn't train properly and if he did he would've beat bernard." that is an excuse.Comment
