    Vargas and Joppy are good wins but hey still don't make me think he had tremedous power over 147.
    Green k for you Tito didn't carry his power for ****.

      lol,you're exagerating a lot.

      He carried his power good but nothing like it's meant to be.At 147 he was a monster.Over that he was good and decent but that's it.

        faded joppy? the same joppy that was a beltholder at 160 for a nice stretch who for some reason never could make a fight with hopkins when hopkins was beating up on all of those weak middleweights adding up those bs 20 title defenses?

        imo hopkins wasn't thinking about fighting joppy until years after tito stretched him out... lol

            He had a lot of power at WW, he used to hurt fighters even when they were blocked.He didn't carried his power like Hearns did, but he had power enough. But at 170 against Jones it was a proof that he didn't carried his power there.

                Tito vs Roy was at 170lb It was Tito first fight over 160 and he was clearly fat and smaller than Roy, he was than Hopkins when they fought. Tito was a beast at 147lb a one punch KO artist at 154 he was very powerful too he KO'ed two belt holders of that time. He destroyed Joppy at 160lb. He didn't even hit Hopkins and I've never seen Hopkins hurt, Winky is pretty strong too and didn't got hit thanks to his great defense.

                    He also didn't manage to knock out Oscar. Nor really hurt him. Oscar doesn't have a world class chin, or does he?
