    Well, yeh, of course. But I won't believe that Barerra beat Morales unless Erik is lying uncoscious in a pool of his own blood. I just don't believe Marco can do it.

After all, Mayorga was just as likely to make 147 again as Tito was, and he had fought at junior middle in his last outing. What really made the difference in Trinidad's case is that Ricardo Mayorga could not have been more stylistically tailor-made. That is not true of Mitchell and Tzyu, and I think that's Tzyu's strongest argument for being Comeback of the Year.
      i was calling mayo smaller than tito b4 they fought
      so what if he can carry the wieght
      were talkin about being competitive
      anyone can carry any weight
      hell vargas was up to like 190 does that mean he can compete with fighters of that weight

        He beat a guy when he weighed 156. That was part of my point. Sure, Eric Mitchell wasn't a contender, but neither is nobody, which is exactly who Tito was fighting.

          Quality of opposition says Tszyu, but Trinidad hadn't been in the gym at all whereas Tszyu had been training both times until he got injured.

            I would say MAB is it, if he beats Morales.
            I'd also go for Tszyu

              I'd pick Trinidad. Tszyu comes a close second. The lay off would have affected Trinidad's style more than the search and destroy style of Tszyu. which is why he gets the nod.

                The reason)s) I picked against Tszyu was because of the very long layoff, & the fact that Mitchell's a very slick lefty who you must be very sharp against.

                Tszyu amazed me with how sharp he was. He was unbelievably ON for a guy who's been out for so long.

                IMO....Tszyu's performance is the best of the year.

                I'm glad I was wrong, because Tszyu is a far better & more entertaining fighter than Sharmba Mitchell.
                In the future never doubt about Kostya.

                      I thought of mentioning Danny Williams, but as far as I'm concerned, both he and Barerra are only worthy of an honorable mention. Unless they both win their upcoming fights, it just wouldn't make sense to consider them over Tzyu or Felix.
