[goose 5]

154. 12 rounds

[gilgamesh]

It's hard to imagine Tito beating many Elite Boxers considering that Winky Wright beat him with tight defense and a jab.

[Cent0089]

Crawford UD, something like 116-112

So true

Humiliated him really

Agreed tito was fun but against hof competition he looked ordinary

[Seamus]

He never lost below Middleweight, so that argument only applies to 160.

Tito's record at 160 and beyond is 2-3 though to Crawford's 1-0.

Crawford won the Undisputed Super Middleweight title. Tito won the WBA Middleweight belt and promptly lost it. Which to be fair Crawford may have too if he had to deal with Hopkins.

Since the topic is about them facing at 154lbs... I'm curious, what the odds would've been, if Crawford goes into Tito fight right after that Madrimov performance.

At the same time, Trinidad would be coming off a stellar 2000 campaign, which made him a consensus Millennium's Fighter of the year.

Just interesting about the pre-fight perception. How many of those who would've predicted Crawford is past it based on Madrimov fight and that "Trinidad is too young, too big!"

Indeed. "You're only as good as your last fight" as they say, and the guy that's steamrolling and knocking out his opponents is often gonna be perceived as the tougher opponent over a guy who just struggled to a difficult decision win.

Exactly. And by the way, wasn't Trinidad bookie's favourite in the Hopkins bout?

[gilgamesh]

He was the favorite against Wright also

[2128778]

He was the favorite against Wright also

Which seems amazing, in hindsight.

As I think of it now, is that performance against Mayorga was more impressive than two wins over Mosley?
