    Dog, if you think wrapping your hands with anything that is legal helps, you're crazy. The motions and mechanics of Tito and his speed and combination punching make him a great puncher.
    Good point but I don't think Hearns wore head gear as an amatuer.

        Hopkins didnt stand in front of Tito he went side to side.

        He rarely exchanged with him. Hopkins just fought smartly while Tito was trying to KO him and ended up himself KOed.

        Tito power comes from some factors:
        1. He is a lefty with great left hook power.
        2. He was a bit big for his some of his class
        3. They way he excute his punchs is appear to as if he is spriting ( it a disadvantge because it shows that he is ready to punch his fav. punch the left hook.)

          I never believed any of this garbage because 1) it just seems totally ridiculous that the way you wrap your hands could give you a significant power advantage, 2) Bernard Hopkins brought this to the forefront when he asked the ref to check Trinidad's gloves before the fight, and after admitted that he did it just to mess with his head.

            All his accomplishments are bogus.
            He doesn't deserve to be up there with the Benitez, Gomez, and Cotto.
            Cotto?!

              Lol.. This kind of thread again? I've seen like 7 of these.

              Tito is just a hard hitter. Fight him with bare knuckles.I bet he will win by KO in 1 mili second.
