For those of you saying that Tito has a puncher's chance, what are you thinking? What has Tito done at anything above 160 besides KO Joppy? Hopkins, RJJ, and Winky all laughed at his left hook. They had no effect. I think Tito could hit JT with a pretty flush left hook and JT would laugh it off.
Not comparable to Taylor. Jones beats Taylor now, the Hopkins of 2001 beats Taylor easily and Wright had the best style advantage over Tito of them all.
The point here is that all of them laughed off Tito's power. That is the point. Keep underestimating JT buddy. :hi:
This is a very practical fight for Taylor to make. Taylor's gotten a taste for big paydays after his reign as middleweight champ and Tito's about the easiest big money fight he could possible manage to get. ( if he loses this one he should retire ) After all if Taylor were to get three losses in a row his marketability would suffer a severe blow. Personally I'd rather he fight Miranda, but I can understand that after back to back fights with Pavlik he's be interested in fighting a guy who doesn't hit that hard.
easy win for taylor. trinidad went from "welterweight who hits like a heavyweight" to "light heavy weight who hits like a welterweight"!!!!!! If winky's feather-fisted ass can hurt trinidad and roy jones who wasn't even really trying can put him down twice, taylor, who can do some damage against a stationary, no defence having, 35 year old like trinidad will knock him out, i'm almost sure of it.
This would be an interesting fight to see. I'd give it to Taylor because he's younger and I honestly see him knocking Tito down early in the fight
