Who Wouldve Won in Hopkins vs Tito?

[JuicyJuice]

Trinidad is a blown-up welterweight, he can't beat Hopkins.

That win means nothing for Hopkins, nothing.

Flase. Tito was top 5 p4p at that time, and the win was a big one, regardless of size.

I agree with those that said Hops would have stopped Tito earlier had he went toe-to-toe more. He did go toe-to-toe plenty as it was though. It was a complete shellacking.

Tito had great power for a welter weight and still had good power at middleweight but he isn't strong enough to go against true middleweights. They would just wear him down.

Its no disgrace, just that he went up too much. DLH attempted the same feat but also failed because while he has great power at the lower weights he just didn't have that great power in middle. Any True middleweights would most likely beat Tito or DLH but I would give Tito more of a punchers chance versus some and I would give DLH more of a boxers chance of winning by decision against some (depending on who they are facing).

Tito is a Great Welterweight though.

So Haglers wins over HEarns and Duran meant nothing either. Nor did Leonards win over Duran....or any bigger fighters win over a smaller fighter for that matter. Or Sanchez' win over Gomez etc.
Point being think before typing this stuff.

im pretty sure that hopkins won, by TKO no less...

[GTL]

hopkins wouldve won earlier.. tito cant trade with hopkins.. hopkins can pop harder at middle than tito..

Badmagic, When did Hopkins say this? All I rememeber hearing him saying is how Tito never even came close to huting him. He may have said it in the height of the period when he was trying to get a big money rematch but even in the post fight interview he said that Tito never hurt him and he said the Echols is still the hardest puncher he ever faced

I read about it in Ring Magazine. Hopkins said that his ribs hurt from body punches Tito landed on him. He also said Tito hit him with one good lefthook and he told himself that he was not going to let that happen again. Hopkins also said that lefthook left a bruise on his cheek.

no kidding. what about monzon's wins over napoles, griffith, and benvenuti.

I said this before but Delahoya laid the blueprint out on how to beat Tito. Hopkins used that and worked it too perfection. It's as simple as that. I'm sure Hopkins could have gone toe to toe as well IMO.

Tito was good ONCE, but so was RJJ, but now they're 2 cheeks on a bum. If Tito went to hell, Hopkins would be whoopin his ass 4 ever. Anyhow Tito's name ain't even drawing numbers these days, unlike Hopkin's, that's why the cat retires each & everytime he catches a beatdown. Now Can U Dig Dat!!!!!!!!
