    Trinidad at 168

    If Trinidad finally goes up to 168 to fight for a belt, do you think he will get it? I know that Calzaghe and Lacy are the big names there but what about the others? Maybe fights against Mundine or even fellow Puerto Rican Manny Siacca. Any comments?

    I don`t think Tito`s power is the same at 160. i know he KO`d Joppy but i think thats more to the style of Joppy fighting. Mayorga is a welterweight thus not countable. Cheiffi was shot and Hopkins walked through Tito`s punches. I am not convinced Tito`s power is the same at 160 as it was at 147 - 154. If he KO`s or floors Winky Wright, then yes, he has the same murderouspower! ( not to say he has no power at 160, he does, i just need convincing its MURDEROUS power ).

      he is a little small boned for 168 but i think his power will still be there , i say he beats contender like siaca and mudine hands down , calzaghe and lacy are big strong 168 pounders .

      i would say he has a shot at lacy , who tom e seems to have a suspect chin and an overrated punch.

        I think 168 he could be competitive but they would certainly be the heaviest hitters hes ever faced.

        Librado Andrade could also become a champ.

              lacy would KO tito, tito should stay where he is because he could do some damage when b-hop retires

                tito could be a pretty serious contnder at 168, but it would be a bad time for him to go up - eric lucas and otis grant are back and looking really good, lacy might be able to take him out. supermiddle is still a weak div, but Tito has better prospects at 160, the power of a good, natural 168 pounder could be too much for trinidad

                  I'm not a Tito fan, but he would absolutely DOMINATE the 168 pound division, because it's the weakest division in the sport...

                  Tito, and also Don King, only want big fights, however, and there are no marquee names at 168, he'd skip 168 altogether if he moved up in weight and go straight for the cats at 175

                    Or what about Kessler who owned Siaca and who is fighting Mundine in May? Tito is too small to dominate super middleweight. There is no way way that he would be able to take Lacy's punches. Down goes Tito again.
