    moving up in weight affects all fighters. Mayweather just moved up in weight and he still looked great. Just like Tito did against Mayorga.

    I'm willing to bet points that people would say that Hopkins still TKO/KOs DLH/Tito if Hopkins went down in weight to their weight classes.

    You're using weight and "prime" as a crutch for Tito. Please stop...
    Mayorga was a blown up welterweight. Tito looked great in there because that fight was taylor made to make Tito look good. later into Tito's career he became fighter and rarely boxed. When he fought Mayorga, they went toe to toe, hence allowing the stronger man to win. I'm not using any excuses for Tito. But the the reason behind a loss is not always that the opponent is better. This is what you are misunderstanding. Weight does affect a boxer's speed and agility.

      Just stop... you nor any Tito fan was talking about Mayor being a blown up welterweight before the fight, so don't start now.

      Just stop...

      and you mean "tailor" made, not "taylor" made. Do us the english speaking community a favor and stop posting.

      PS: Tito is faster than Winky and stronger too.

              To all Roy Jones fans...

              If you picked Roy to beat Tarver, then you obviously thought Roy was good enough to beat him and not out of his prime.

              So now that Tarver has beaten him two times, stop using your Roy is out of his prime excuse because it simply does not work. Stop being hypocritical and admit Tarver is the better man. Tarver may not have a better resume and he may be too old to accomplish as much as Jones, but one on one, any time, any place, Tarver is better than Roy Jones. Boxing is about styles, and Roy Jones is tailor made for Tarver. ****, Roy admitted it himself.

              Tarver > Roy

                Why cant they just say their favorite fighter was beaten by a better boxer?

                EDIT: LET ME ADD KOSTYA TYZU TO THIS LIST. HE WAS STILL GOOD WHEN HATTON BEAT HIS ASS. KOSTYA JUST PUT THE SMACKDOWN ON SHARMBA MITCHELL.
                BUT THEY WERE!!!!You really think a prime Tyson would have got beaten soundley by Lennox Lewis. I doubt it.
