      He has one loss, but then again he only has 3 wins at middlweight over, Cherifi, Mayorga, and Joppy.

        Beyer and Calzaghe are over the hill. Bute, Kessler, and Lacy are the future of the division.

          When I started this thread, I asked if Trinidad could win a belt at 168. I don't care if he stays in that division, that is not the point. All I want to know is who thinks that he would get a belt at super middle. Any belt, I don't care. WBC, WBA, IBF, or WBO.

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'
            perfect ****ing post. i am a KRAZY Tito fan but 168 is too much for him. he should stay at middle

              Well there is no way that he is going to beat Kessler, Calzaghe, or Lacy, but he may be able to beat Beyer, but then again everyone said that about Green too.

                Hopkins can take Trinidad's punches not because Trinidad cant punch at 160 but because he's got a good chin (example Hopkins vs. Echols). I think Trinidad can punch at 160 but I think his power would decrease a little at 168 and his stamina will decrase noticably.

                  You never know, Tito can pull a Duran and beat Lacy at a 4th weight, its possible, Lacy isnt that great of a fighter, just depends if Trinidad can handle the weight, just 8 more pounds to become more legendary.

                    Not so sorry since he got a belt from Joppy at the time, and lasted 12 rounds with a top five all time Middleweight ever, Lacy is another Taylor.

                      I wasn't aware that he lasted the full 12 rounds.
