Even if that fight did hold some credibilty Hopkins will be targeting a fight with Roy Jones after the Calzaghe fight then retirement. Could happen if he loses I guess but I think he'll retire if he loses.

he should fight pavlik. despite all the talk i think andy lee wont fight pavlik til next year at the earliest. pavlik might get another belt holder in the ring this year, but if he doesn't he should fight trinidad.

pavlik deserves a high profile fight

He should fight someone he can beat, like a natural 147er or 154er.

I think the writing on the wall is there for tito-DLH 2 to be made near the end of the year, so if Tito's fighting in june it'll likely be @160 against a beatable but sellable opponent to get him back in the win column.
He most certainly is NOT gonna fight Pavlik, he has no interest in something like that. He's just looking to join the senior's tour and make some money along with the other stars of his generation. HIS generation, not THIS generation, mind you.

If Tito wants to return to the ring he first needs to quit returning to the pie shop

I don't know if he should fight on, but if he really wants, he should return to 160 and fight a top 10-25 guy first. The mail thing is: Tito never became old, he was just outboxed by 3 better (very skilled) fighters.

As he didn't have a lot of fights in the past years, and he didn't look old the last time either,
-he needs to get the ring rust off in a tune-up fight or two
-he's got a lot of fights in him anyway

So if he really wants to fight on, he should fight guys with an exciting style - like Zuniga, Castillejo, maybe Duddy, Rubio, Bunema.

rematch with oscar is the way to go, it needs to be done

The first one was boring as hell. Now they are old.

The first one was boring as hell. Now they are old.

Them being old might make for a better fight. I don't think Oscar has the legs anymore to move as much as he did the first time, which was the main thing that kept the fight from being exciting.

Tito vs. Pavlik? What in your right mind makes you think that Tito can bang with Kelly Pavlik at 160 pounds?? I'm starting to think that maybe Tito was never as good as we thought. The guy always got hit too much in fights, he was easily unsettled, and had very little power capability above 147. As soon as he lost the discipline to make 147 his career tanked. He should be happy with his wins over Trinidad, Mayorga, and Oscar, and he should hang em up. I don't think he has a chance against any of these guys mentioned anymore Oscar included....

Tito should fight Sturm in a build-up for a rematch with DLH...he knocks out Sturm, who had a controversal loss vs. DLH and shows the world how one's doing it in fashion unlike DLH...

And he wants a rematch with Hopkins. I don't think that's a good for Tito.:lol:

the only high profile guy Tito has half a chance against is Mayorga and MAYBE Oscar (but not really)

what exactly is going on in titos mind i wonder?

he just cant seem to pick fights that he will be competetive in.... hopkins? HOPKINS? come on....

Fight margarito at 154 or 160, oscar again at 154 or 160, mosley at 154, ike quartey at 154... i mean....

Roy Jones jr??? Hopkins????

im not quite sure why hes going after big guys.

hopkins would give him a beatdown all over again.

he needs to get down in weight and find someone popular enough to bring in money but not elite enough to school him

trying to think here and not really sure who would fit that at the moment.

If he gets a win he could set up a rematch with de la hoya for a TON of money. I think de la hoya would win an easy UD because he has been more active than trinidad lateley. He looked decent in his last two fights where as trinidad hasnt been fighting and looked shit against roy.

Fuck Oscar. If Tito wants to return, he should fight a contender at 160/168 then fight the winner of Pavlik/Taylor.

He should get his ass in shape. He looked like ass against RJJ.

tito has a big heart but a small brain if he want to go back at it with b-hop.
if he really wants to come back he needs to pick a weight that he can compete in and stick to it, and tune up before he picks these big fights. or stay retired.

He should fight John Dudddy ..That fight would be explosive ..Personally in the lost to Jones Tito looked very strong ..

And he wants a rematch with Hopkins. I don't think that's a good for Tito.:lol:

Oh man...

Tito, go away. Please.

He should be happy with his wins over Trinidad, Mayorga, and Oscar...

:huh

That is a very good idea if I would be either Duddy's or Tito's management - Duddy has a HUGE fan following in NY and June 7 would be the PR day parade weekend. This fight would be far more lucrative for Duddy and he could still fight Pavlik if he would win it - same for Tito: if he wins it it would set up a HUGE middleweight title bout with Pavlik - if Pavlik would fight, let's say, Sturm in the mean time Pavlik-Tito could end up as a VERY BIG PPV at the end of 2008 :deal .

Is Tito mentally retarded? Why does he want to mess with Hopkins again? Tito should either move down to 160 or retire, picking on these big guys to dominate him will only hurt his legacy.

Duddy................perfect matchup, he stands in front of you and comes to fight, perfect for Tito

would like to see a tito mosley bout even at this time it would be a great fight. A dlh rematch would be great too.

tito is still entertaining and can still fight at top level

imn surprised that no one hasn't mentioned a cotto fight at 154. that would be huge

That would be insane in Puerto Rico. I doubt it would happen though. Cotto and Trinidad probably wouldn't want to fight eachother and I'm not sure how the average PR boxing fan would feel about it. On a smaller level that I can relate to, it would sort of be like Povetkin challenging Maskaev for the title. This would be more okay since Maskaev is a champion and Trinidad isn't, but I would hate to see it happen and I'm sure Povetkin would never wish to fight him.

Damn, by reading these threads it looks like Trinidad will go down in history only as a footnote to DLH.
