    Just saying
    He was old and he didn't belong at 170 plus he came out of retirment.

      Tarver is left handed and so is Joe.

      Joe did not knock Jones out either if anything Calzaghe should feel more embarrassed because he actually is 168/175 lbs. Tito came from 147.

      Do the maths.

        Tito's power was not overrated at all!!As a matter of fact,I would say that Tito's power was what actually made him great,because his boxing skills were not much more than average!!Without his power,Tito would not be who he is!!

          Vargas and Joppy are good wins but hey still don't make me think he had tremedous power over 147.
          LOL............ Just take a look at his record and how many fighters he stopped for the first time of their careers. To TS,

            tito trinidad didn't have over rated power he had a great left hook and a good right hand..why is it that the great bernard hopkins boxed him instead of slugging away all night ? its called respect for felix trinidad's power thats why..tito trinidad may have not even hurt roy jones jr but tito trinidad was never a 168 or 175 pound boxer he was just so inactive and didn't have the same hunger and drive he had when he was making his bones at welterweight and at 154 along at 160 against b hop and william joppy

              LOL and some kids here think that MArgo could have been to much for Tito.

              I believe Tito could have Kill MArgo and KO Pwill, Cotto and Mosley would faded.

              Let's talk about his stamina it was crazy.

                Ask Vargas' balls whether or not Tito's power is overrated

                  Yes,I know.

                  Yet his power over 147 is overrated.

                      I'm really curious. Who can you debate had more power than Tito at 147 and 154? Hearns is the only boxer who people can make an argument for. Tito's power at WW is comfortably top 3.

                      How can that be over-rated?
