Why do those people keep bringing up Roy Jones, HOPKINS and James Toney moving up weightclasses? All three of these fighters were roided to the gills, making it possible to move up so many weightclasses lol. And to add insult to injury, these guys were NATURALLY larger and slimmed down to size in order to defeat Smaller fighters.
So a blown up lightweight or at least a guy who started off at 135. A guy who had just come off a 2 year hiatus and was only having his 2nd fight back, although his sheer dominance of Trinidad was hilarious to watch. And he lost and drew with Vargas and Taylor.... Nothing really standing out as to why he's leagues above GGG.
Tito was dropped early in lots of fights.....including by British level welterweights.. Against Walters he got up to win...against GGG he wouldn't get to recover..sorry. .GGG kos him in 1 or 2.
Tito was a champ during a skilled and competitive era. His chin was shaky but he always got up and fought harder (minus the bigger hopkins or Jones). Those guys back then weren't just fantastic boxers, but they were very athletic also. I wasn't a big fan of Tito, and I like GGG, but I don't think GGG could beat Tito. Tito would murder Canelo without question, and I think Vargas would probably put beating on Canelo mind you u never knew with Vargas' chin but he was a good boxer with good power. Canelo or GGG havent fought those caliber of fighters though IMO so it's hard to say.
tito wouldnt hurt ggg even with his left hook. levels to this. tito an amazing fighter who also was to big for ww and it showed when he moved up. ggg would drill his face and turn him into wormmeal!
And? Floyd started at lightweight. Oscar started at flyweight. Pacquiao started at flyweight. You killing your argument badly with your excuse as to why wright beat mosley twice. Mosley was coming off a win over oscar at 154 pounds btw. Trinidad was coming off of destroying Mayorga before facing wright.
Tito stuns GGG with a HUGE left hook, GGG keeps applying pressure. Round after round GGG pounds Tito into a broken fighter GGG vs Trinidad = GGG vs Brook 2.0. GGG is just too big for welters
