he is considering fighting either DLH or Taylor

he is in the training camp of Winky, I assume he is working out


I would like to see him fight DLH and the both hang them up afterwards, that fight would probably suck but it will be huge

the way Taylor has looked lately I wouldn't be suprised if Tito beat him

I don't think he should fight Oscar. Why? Karma.... Oscar never gave Whitaker, Sturm, or Quartey rematches. Fights that most in the boxing public think he lost. So why should Tito give Oscar a rematch?

He should fight a blown up 154-pounder... cuz Tito definately isn't a middleweight. So... PBF, Taylor... or see if Cotto will come up to 160.

Tito should just hang it up, but on the flip side of that Taylor is lookin real beatable right now...

I'd say he was a legitimate middleweight...he ran thru Mayorga, ran thru Joppy at 160. At 154 he was brutal against strong Jr.'s like Thiam & Vargas.

Joppy is a 5'9" middle with questionable power.... sounds like a welter to me. I mean, he is a legit middle as far as his career weight but, i've never really considered him a middle (more of a blown up welter).


Mayorga is mos def not a middle either.


Just like Spinks (v. Taylor), Oscar (v. Sturm & Hop), Quartey (v. Winky) aren't legit middles either.


Just to add.... when you look at Tito's frame... he has these really skinny arms, and really skinny torso. So, if he ain't weighing 160 on account of muscle, one has to ask..."Where is the weight coming from"?

Joppy came thru da gym I box at before...dude is a middleweight, lol. He's fought there his whole career and his frame is about as solid as it gets at 160. Although he may be on the short side, he definitely still is a legit middleweight.

I used Mayorga as an example to symbolize that Tito isn't "blown up". Mayorga, i'd say is much stronger than 147's and at least as strong as 154's. Tito was able to dismantle him, therefore proving he isn't a "blown up welterweight". Remember how Mayorga took Forrest's clean punches at 147?

Tito does have one of those classic wiry frames. Ala Alexis Arguello, Bob Foster, Diego Corrales. The difference tho is Tito is solid up & down...He isn't top heavy like Tommy Hearns was and he isn't pipe legged like Corrales was. By looking at his last few fights, I could clearly see the body of a middleweight.
