    Tito should just retire.. He's not beating anyone at the weight that he wants to fight at. I'm not paying no PPV to see him fight

    Tito above 154 never has been, nor will be anything special. Debating his value below 160 is up to others but I don't think he is an ATG. He got totally outclassed by hopkins and winky still in his prime. Well the hopkins fight was anyway. IF tito is an all time great and could not win a round 6 pounds above his best weight then what does that say about hopkins and wright.

    reading the news about what Trinidad said turning down taylor pretty much confirms that he is only in boxing for the money. its sad because trinidad was a serious warrior in his prime, I guess he still is because he is still fighting at a dangerous weight for him. but the fact that he is fighting at such a high weight pretty much lets us know that his heart isn't in it 100% anymore because if it was he would make 160lbs again. And if money is what he wants he should drop down to 154lbs and fight DLH and he'd make a killing. he honestly must not care about protecting his legacy, he is fighting at a ridiculous weight for his body and everyone knows he can't hang up there. I guess he has guts but he is only doing it for money. im a die heart tito fan but i honestly am not interested in seeing him fight anymore.

    Whats the worse that could happen to him? Take another loss? he honestly doesn't care and it doesnt mean anything. If theres 10+ million dollars to make for getting into a boxing ring then why not?

    He needs to move down to 160 or meet DLH at a reasonable catchweight between 154-160.

    He's gonna get killed at 168-175. ****in' murdered.
