          He needs to wear the mask in the ring and throw illegal substances in the eyes of his opponents.
          Then take out the illegal object (shiv) when the ref isn't looking at stab at his opponent.
          His flaw now is he just doesn't throw enough.

          It happens.
          Watch some of his fights in the 90's and the Trinidad fight. He was pretty entertaining back then.

              Yeah Tito was robbed. of his dignity. No ***elry, just dignity.
              And he had to buy a new flag because Hop stomped before he ran out before getting killed by the angry mob who only wanted to invite him over for dinner and a nice chat.

              Why the hell did Tito take that fight? And Wright and Jones?

              Oh yeah, he was laughing all the way to the bank.

              Look for Tito again in 2012, against David Haye.

                Skilled and crafty ass hell, but very boring. He just simply refuses to let his opponents fight whether that means holding, moving, clinching, leading with his head, whatever it takes to prevent the other guy from throwing a meaningful punch.

                    Hopkins doesn't make for the most entertaining of fights but I enjoy watching him fight because of his ring smarts.

                      Exactly. This topic is definitely racially motivated.
