    Nah that weird droopy eye lid thing did, which was an issue before Tito. Tito did make that worse but that was always going to happen.

      Yes he did..... Reid fought him in his 15th or 17th pro fight.... Just too early for a HOFer like Tito.

      At that time my two favorite fighters were Fernando Vargas and David Reid. Tito destroyed both of them.

          Or maybe just "maybe" fighting defensive geniuses like Hopkins and wright had something to do with it.

            Tito never "loaded up". But yeah, Reid fought him way too early.

            He wasn't ready for a veteran in Tito.

              Hopkins' corner found him wrapping his hands in a way that is legal in some parts of America, illegal in others.

              Isn't loading gloves when you insert something?

                Tito never loaded his gloves, he jus put the tape on his skin and not over a layer of gauze, America needed a pick me up after 9/11 and Tito was looked at as an outsider . This was the first time in history b hop had a fan base and it was t cuz they likes him it was cause he is from the USA. The reason Tito didn't have that power after this fight is because he went on to fight in weight classes that were too much for him. Tito is the best welter/junior middle weight ever. He has
                The record for most title defenses in the welterweight division ever and he ducked no one. Tito would have beat the crap out of these champs
                Today with ease. PAC - mayweather would have been put to sleep by Tito

                  David Reid fought for the title and against Trinidad 13 fights into his pro career because of his eye issues. Reid's team had him on the fast track because they understood that the eye issues would prevent him from sustaining a long career anyway. He didn't have many fights in him with or without the Trinidad fight.
