    the division is pretty weak with Calzaghe and Kessler leaving...

    IMO:

    Miranda- KO6
    Bute- haven't watched enough of him
    Taylor- KO6
    Mundine- Mundine UD12
    Bika- KO4
    Lacy- KO5

    He would get destroyed

    Kessler KO
    Bute KO
    Froch KO
    Mundine KO
    Miranda KO

    Hell, even that fraud Taylor probably KO's him

    I don't see him doing well, especially at his age and given his inactivity. Froch, Bute, Miranda, Taylor, Bika, and Mundine beat him handily. They're too big and too strong for Trinidad.

    Lacy is a question mark because of his shoulder, so it's possible that Trinidad beats him. He looked better against Jones than Lacy did against Manfredo. However, if Lacy can regain the form he had in the first few rounds of the Tsypko fight, he'd run over Trinidad.

    Tito's my all-time favorite fighter ... I think he should get a great strength and conditioning coach so that he could go down further in weight or just retire all together.

    He was most effective at 154-160 ... his physiqe doesn't even look right at 168.

    1-2 at middleweight
    0-1 at super middleweight

    That should be a sign ...

    Trinidad is shot, he only survived Jones because he is equally shot. He still got knocked down, and generally beaten up. Besides, he's not big enough for 168, and he doesn't have the desire to get down any further

    I don't even consider Miranda a top contender at SMW. Any of the top 5 KO him

    The fact that Jones destroyed him at 170, doesnt give me confidence that Tito could be a force at 168... Even many of you here on ESB say the current SMW's would eat up Jones easily - but Jones ate up Tito easily; therefore Tito doesn't stand a chance in there at 168 IMO

    He's got a better chance doing something at 160, rather than 168 IMO

    Tito is done - he should have stayed away after the 2nd time he chose to quit. As other say in this thread, 168 would be totally wrong for him - he can't bully people there.

    And no, 168 is not weak, it just doesn't have alot of americans in it. And to add to Brooklyns list - Andrade would beat him as well, and so would Inkin.

    As far as I know Kessler is still at 168, and the jungle drums on this site says he will face Mundine next.

    I think so too ... he's great and he should've retired after the Hopkins fight ... a helluva run but is 0-3 in his last 3 ... he doesn't look big at all ... he still has the frame of a welterweight ... he size doesn't compare to those of natural super middles and light heavies.

    Those guys are too big and too strong ... his power won't be evident because he doesn't carry the weight as good at supermiddle ...

    I think he should retire and enjoy his millions ...

    All these guy KO him, power limit was at 154 , he had decent pop at 160 but at 168 , These guys are simply too big and too strong , and no way he KOs Lacy who IMO is the strongest out of this list.

    Tito is my FAVORITE, but it's time to hang em up..............

    Doesn't have the discipline to get down to 160lbs. and is obviously too small for SMW or LHW. At this point in his career, anyone, and I mean ANYONE in the Top 10 with a pulse, and a good jab will beat him at this point.......He doesn't have the desire like he used to...

    He really used to be a demon in the ring:yep .

    For me, he's my Duran of this generation, a real fighter along with Erik Morales....

    Tito's next fight should be against Manfredo.
