    Joppy is a joke was he every rated so high is beyond me

    took him 8 rounds to get rid of a guy in his first middleweight fight


    lost to hopkins..
    well, tito never went back down to 160 after he fought joppy, his first fight at 160. you can use that as proof, i suppose. joppy in 2001 was pretty damn good, he held one of the 3 main belts ...

    its funny because you speak like tito hasn't done anything, when you're on sturms nuts. you should be the last one to ever bash a guy.

      Tito is no middleweght compared to B-hop, but really who has he dropped at 160 that is worth hearing about. I mean Mayorga has a great chin but he is no middleweight.

        Tito has enough power to hurt most guys at 160. He'll have trouble if the other guy doesnt stand in and trade like Mayorga did. The real question is can he keep the natural 160 pound guys off of him like he COULDNT do against Hopkins.

          I think he has the best left hook in the division hands down.

                Are you serious? How can you argue this? It's undeniable fact. I saw the fight.

                I think I see where you're coming from, though. I mean, after all, Trinidad's power pales in comparison to Felix Sturm's. That fella is an absolute terror.

                  Your first & last sentences pretty much contradict each other.

                  There is not a 160lber who punches like Tito. Hopkins is a better fighter than Trinidad.
                  Sturm & Taylor are not better fighters than trinidad. He'd KO both of them.
                  All everyone talks about is how easily Hopkins beat Trinidad. I'd be willing to bet that both Sturm & Taylor do worse against the 2005 version of Hopkins, than Tito did against the 2001 version.

                    Yes, I saw the fight. Look at the weighins, Cherifi was 160 and Tito was 158, if I remember correctly. I have the fight at home and can verify these for you if you'd like.

                      ya ******. If Tito faught Sterm or Taylor he would lose a lopsided fight.

                      Do you think that Taylor and Sterm are the only ones that DONT know that Tito has power???? You think they are just going to slg it out with him???? Only if they are retarted. Sterm and Taylor would just Jab all night to a decision. Tito cant handle boxers, and im pretty sure Sturm and taylor wont go crazy over night and try to slug it out
