Fitz Wrote:Possibly, dude.blackbelt2003 Wrote:The Joppy KO notwithstanding, Tito was not a terrific middleweight. Taylor outscores him. But the telling thing for me in those fights was how SMALL and INEFFECTIVE Tito looked. Tito has never been a master boxer. He was never going to outbox them both, it was always about Tito running through them. He's always been a big strong guy with dynamite in his fists. The very things that made him so great at welter and jr middle was lost at middleweight. He looked pudgy and weak. If Hopkins and Wright were welterweights, they would still have beaten him, but he would have been MUCH more effective and not lost every single round against them. His sheer strength and power would have at least made it a closer fight. But I get what you're saying. It's like Tommy Hearns. His resume was shit at middleweight, too. Black |

Lots of people here always point to Taylor being open to a great shot after he punches. But boxing is more complicated than that. It's a matter of what happened before and after Taylor threw a punch and not just after he threw the punch. If it's as simple as lots of people here say so, then Hopkins would have played with him shoving his face backward every now and then. Instead we had two boring fights. Trinidad must be a big middleweight with a very tough chin to pressure and beat Taylor.
