    160 Pounds King

    After defeating win wright Tito should reign in the division without opposition given that Hopkins is saying "no mas". It would be easier for Tito to fight Hopkings and win all the belts rather than win them independetly. The path for Tito will be decided in a way by Hopkins, because if he decides not to fight Tito and retire with a fight against an easier opponent then Tito will spend one or two years unifying the titles.

    Tito..arrrgghhh

    Hopkins is too old for a legitimate rematch with Tito. As we all saw with the Eastman Fight, Hopkins no longer posses the skills to finish and destroy an opponent. He can still box great, but i doubt he will have enough to keep Tito's pressure off him as he did in '01. Tito will beat Winky mainly becuase Winky poses no threat to Tito in regards to power. Tito will walk him down and might stop him. Yet, i'm still rooting for the upset. Tito should fight Sturm. Sturm posesses a shoutgun jab that will give Tito trouble all night! I doubt tito will reign in the 160lb division again.. in fact he might go up.

      I think Trinidad vs. Hopkins II will happen in September or October this year.

        B Hops vs Tito is the only Big money fight left for the 160 king. Yet, i doubt it will ever go down. I think B Hops has enough money in the bank, and will opt to fight Taylor as his swan song.

            I think Bernard Hopkins will go for a final big payday fight and then he retires. I have to say honestly I don't like to see Bernard Hopkins fighting, because he's a too calculated fighter. I was bored by his recent fights against Robert Allen, Oscar de la Hoya and especially Howard Eastman. That fight made me almost sleep. A possible last fight for him is maybe against Glen Johnson at the light heavyweight division, cause the fight against Tito is too difficult to arrange, Roy Jones JR will probably not fight again and Jermain Taylor is far from on.

                I don't mind seeing Sturm vs. Hopkins but I would have rather see Hopkins vs. Taylor.

                  It would be great to see B-Hop fight either two out of Tito, Taylor and Roy Jr. I dont think he can win any of these fights though, best thing i think he can do is fight sturm.

                    John Ruiz is garbage and if there were any great heavyweights left he would even be in the division
