Trinidad at 168

[Rockin']

the 168 pounders would throw tito around like he was a rag doll. And I wouldnt even think of him at 175. It would be like throwing a rat terrior in to fight a pitbull. Tito is not made up on a big frame. If you think about many that stepped up in weight they were normally very tall for the weight that they began fighting at. Thomas Hearns is the guy that comes to mind for that. Bottom line trinidad is not big enough nor strong enough to fight at 168 with his style. Now if he was a willie pep or chris byrd type, that could be a different story...............Rockin'

I agree. Totally. Trinidad is not Superman; Hopkins proved that. He's in for an enlightening experience if he fights up there.

Going up to 168 is career suicide. Lacy, or even Calzaghe would eat him alive. He should stay between junior middle and middle. At 154 I believe he can dominate. 160 is even pushing it if you ask me.

Yeah, and I ADMIRE Tito! Just from what I've seen in boxing during my life there comes a point when common sense ends and greed or overconfidence begins.

Lacy dominate Tito.....damn I'm a big Jeff Lacy fan and I can't see it happening, even on Jeff's best day and Tito's worst, Trinidad has had one bad fight in the past 15 years and all of a sudden he doesn't have the ability to move up in weight and beat all of these chumpions....????...

Since when did Lacy and Calzone become so dangerous?

no way
too heavy for tito

his body isnt built for it. Im not doubting his skills, but cmon, look at lacy and trinidad physically. Its a complete mismatch.

tito's chin isnt great and lacy has some pop. p4p tito is better but lacy's power would be the factor.

I think that the better question is since when did Tito have a good enough chin to be able to move up to super middleweight and dominate?

Look at 'em physically? Tell that to all of Rid**** Bowe's opponents who got KTFO....this isn't a beauty competition, it's a prizefight

I am impressed by the fact that 2 of Jeff's opponents pulled out of the fight at the weigh-in when Jeff removed his shirt, that's pretty amazing....but those guys weren't Legends, Tito is
