If Golovkin knocked out this man we'd never hear the end of it. And how he's picking on smaller men. http://static.boxrec.com/thumb/0/00/Trinidad_158063737.jpg/200px-Trinidad_158063737.jpg Look at Tito FFS. Is that a Middleweight?
Gerald McClellan annihilates Bernard Hopkins. The doctors would have to hit the snooze button. Cuz Hopkins' not getting up for a while.
atsch How about you post a photo more telling? Like a photo of when he was an actual MW, next to other MWs. http://cache2.asset-cache.net/gc/56...NvJkCGFOE0moSjkiXOzs+akYUB0g+7QnAZM8Kva9+AQ== http://cache3.asset-cache.net/gc/58...2QBn8qf9queTkleGG1vV5211XqWhByJoaAgOpA939uzyr
Look at how soft and bloated he is there compared to what he was at 147. It's really quite simple. Tito is a Welterweight and always was.
Possibly but he needs to beat a marquee name and move up a few divisions and do well there. So no I doubt he can but he's still a hell of a fighter and I believe he could win titles at 168 before his career is over and if he remains undefeated then he may well surpass BHop.
Its simpler than that. Oscar De La Hoya was weighing in at 160 when he was fighting at WW, so was Ike Quartey. It is common knowledge that Trinidad was a bigger fighter than both Quartey and Oscar. So I'm guessing Tito was weighing in at 165+ at WW, and likely more than that at Jr Mw, so when he moved up to MW and fought at the full limit, Tito was indeed a full fledged MW.
He won't last as long as B-Hop... He don't have the style. How are people projecting him to "Become bigger than B-Hop"? Hopkins had like 3 or 4 careers in 1.
Bloated? In what world is that bloated? He looks great. He looked great when he beat Joppy and Mayorga. He looked great when Hopkins beat him. The dude was a fine middleweight.
No he looks clearly different at 160. You can see around the belt he is carrying bodyfat that he did not at 147. He's clearly smaller and softer than a natural Middleweight. Mayorga is a Welterweight. That means nothing at 160 pounds. And Joppy is Joppy.
If Tito was a full fledged MW than Hopkins is a full fledged LHW. Fighters cut weight and rehydrate. That's part of boxing.
