    yeah, genius, put mayweather against calzaghe to see if floyd speed and power is going to do any good, it all depends on how big your opponent is, tito can punch, and can probably ko any of the top middleweight,but jones is just too big for him.

    Tito should keep fighting. He gave a good account of himself last night. He used his jab quite well and worked Jones' body as much as he could. It wasn't that Tito was doing anything wrong - the problem was that he was fighting Roy Jones.

    Tito should campaign at middleweight. I would love to see him fight the winner or even the loser of Taylor/Pavlik II.

    I liked Tito's performance against Roy and if he can make 160, there are some good fights for him there.

    I don't think he needs to retire. I would love to see TIto fight again, but @ 160 max.

    YES, YES and YES.

    It seems that Tito only gets pumped up for big fights (big names like Wright or Jones or a guy trashing his mother, familiy etc. like Mayorga)

    So... Tito never looked like old, but in every of his 3 defeats when he lost himself in the ring the fight looked to be over and only the shadow of Tito remaind to see (or not see) the final bell. THAT's the problem, not the age (he gave enough rest to his body not to tear it down in so many fights), not the weight (he could still compete at 160).

    There are some good names out there so maybe there's a chance for Tito to get excited again. But a trashtalker, slugger, loud opponent is needed to wake Tito's killer instinct up. I don't see that fight.

    He should retire for good.

    Trinidad's problem is he has let himself go physically, moving up 23lbs in the last 8 years plus inactivity has affected his performances more than he realises. If he wants to continue boxing then he needs to seriously get into training and get down to 154 or at the very least 160lb. Could he challenge again for the middleweight crown? With both Taylor and Pavlik moving up to 168 then the door is open for Tito at 160. I would like to see him fight Forrest or Ike at 154lb but i doubt he has the desire and committment to do it.
