    Taylor decision. Not a fan of Tito at 160 in honesty.

    I would take Taylor on points in a very good fight.

    I think Taylor has the punch and jab to give Tito fits. Plus whilst Tito is a big puncher Taylor has got a very good chin.

    Taylor something like 116-112

    Tito would have to be careful with Taylor's explosiveness and his jab, but on the flipside Taylor would have problems with Tito's hook because Taylor is not a defensive fighter and would not know how to take it away, so as the rounds would have went on Tito would have eventually got to him and stopped him in the later rounds IMO. I don't see Taylor having the smarts and the skills to take Tito's left hand away and that would be the difference maker along with his experience fighting better opponents.

    Not even close. Tito starches HBOs fraud somewhere before the middle rounds. No gift decisions this time!

    Tito late TKO. Taylor would find success early with his great jab. Tito comes through because Taylor stands flat footed sometimes and backs out straight which I think would be his undoing. He could get caught with a left hook backing up and get in big trouble and eventually stopped.

    Taylor via KO or UD. I think Tito's power is way overrated at MW. Yeah, he had that Joppy KO but Winky completely laughed at Tito's "power" shots and Hopkins was never hurt. Also, it took Tito a million punches to chop down Mayorga. As someone mentioned, Tito is a blown up WW while JT is a big MW with superior talent.

    Winky did not laugh at Tito's punches, Tito hardly landed anything at all in that fight. As for mayorga you do realize that He had never been stopped let alone KO'd before Tito who BTW had been outta the ring for 2 and a half years prior to their bout.

    I know you are a fan of Tito but nah... he would have to dance around Taylor to even make a fight of it. And that is not Tito's style. Tito doesn;t have the style to beat a much stronger and bigger fighter like Taylor. Not at all.

    Tito will still get some votes in the poll, just because of the large number of latinos on ESB and the fact that latinos (we have seen again and again) vote more with their hearts than their heads.

    Oh yeah he did. Winky said that when Tito started throwing in the 1st round, he thought Tito was just holding back because he didn't feel anything. But he wasn't holding back.

    And with Mayorga, it is what it is. It took him countless flush shots to chop down Mayorga. This is NOT one punch power that Tito displayed at WW.

    Well, if any of you experts ever would have stood next to Joppy then you would realize what a midget he was (is). Despite that Joppy fought a stupid fight while literally walking into every powershot Tito threw it took Trinidad almost forever to get him out.

    Taylor is a HUGE middleweight who can bang in combinations and brings angles which Tito absolutly hates. Tito ain't gonna stop him . No way no how. He has to be lucky to go the distance. Taylor WILL land flush and if you think that Tito will take the barrage Pavlik took while fooling around you are in dreamland.

    Taylor held his own against Hopkins while Tito was never in the fight. Middle is just the wrong weight for Trinidad.

    Now Pavlik, lol, that will be the only time Tito gets counted out while watching the stars.
