48-2 isnt nothing to sneeze at he should be considered up there in the rankings of light heavyweight ...not just based on record but he had to beat a few guys to aquire it

Tiozzo also fought at cruiserweight, did he ever become a champion overthere? And were those 2 defeats in light heavy or cruiser?

i roy jones beat him i think i dunno tho

[Exciterx30]

Virgil Hill was the one who beat him.

[joeytrimble]

did he do it twice?

[Exciterx30]

I have not checked but I think it was one in the 90's and one in 2000.

tiozzo was a joke. long layoffs, the guys gets blown away by virgil hill in one round (and hill is not a puncher), and he didnt have any outstanding qualities as a boxer.

just another guy with another belt.
