    After seeing that Trinidad still has enough in the tank to put on a good enough show, where would you like to see him fight from here if he decides to continue ?

    160 will be empty again with Pavlik and Taylor most likely moving up to 168 soon...

    What about 168 where Calzaghe will leave to 175 and still leave a great crop of fighters. Kessler, Bute, Miranda, Froch, Green, Pascal, Andrade, Lacy and soon Taylor + Pavlik.

    I would actually see a great fight between Jermain Taylor and Tito....or possibly Miranda against Trinidad !

    160 is the way to go for Trinidad.

    He should fight in a few months on HBO against an opponent with somewhat of a name that is ideal for him, such as a Carlos Baldomir, Sergio Mora, or Ishe Smith.

    Miranda v. Trinidad? Good call, hadn't thought of that one.

    Any one have any thoughts on Tito v. Pantera?

    Pantera just might be too big for Tito also...but Trinidad would have someone he can hit cleanly continuously and that would be an exciting fight while it lasts !

    He could fight Duddy at 160.

    taylor and miranda would destroy tito today! the best thing for trinidad to do is retire.. I think RJJ have maybe 2-3 fight left though! would be interesting to see him fight the winner in the rematch between taylor and pavlik..!

    Well he proved that he can't fight as a LHW, imo he should just retire. He already made enoug moola in his fight with RJJ, why damage his health more and fight the other top contenders like Pavlik or Taylor.

    If tito just wants to end his career on a positive note, I agree with erratic behavior, someone who is a natural 147 or 154 fighter, and he should fight them at 160, there are several fighters with good names he could still beat at 160

    I will nver bet on Tito unless he fights at 154 or below. Guy is like an ethopian, I do not believe he can't make 154 is he really wants to.
