    I am on the fence on thice one, tonight he showed he could box if he needed to and showed an awsome BODY attack that most @ 154-160 wold not take.
    He still recoveres well and boxed very well tonight i think he would beat alot @ 154 because he showed he can still fight and is very fresh. he threw very HARD shots and straight punches the issue was he was an ex Heavyweight.Shit,:doh:

    Good Show guys better the Gayweather and RipaHoya!

    If Tito CAN'T Get Below 168 then YES, he Should RETIRE...But @ 160 or LOWER, Tito can STILL B VERY Competitive...

    If DLH can get a title shot at middle, Tito should.

    No, he looked like he still had something. His body shots looked great, that would do some hurt on someone with a softer midsection, then go upstairs for a KO. It could happen!

    Reed did you hear how hard the body shots sounded?? I had my suround sound on and i was like Fuck how can he take that!

    A 160 pounder in my opinion would not be able to but Tito showed he is in now way shot he got beat by a more :bears: gifted fighter in RJJ.

    I was very happy wish Tito's performance. I wish he had won but he surprised me a bit there. I like the way he boxed. He's too small for 170. I would like to see him @ 160.:bears:

    Congrats RJ

    Im sure many will agree, few could handle @ 160 the POWER that Tito unleashed tonight that was some serious boom. RJJ just turned the MOFOKEN clock back!

    Tito don't have his legs anymore, he struggled against an old roy jones, he should call it quits. Unless he can go back to 160 lbs AND have a real trainer in the corner, then he should retire. I think Nacho beristain in his corner, 3 tune up fights in one year and he can challenge any champ from 168 to 160 lbs.

    He should retire, he's pretty much irrelevant at this point.

    If he can't get a breast reduction, he should retire.

    Not only should Tito retire, but he never should have unretired the first 2x's.

    He's hurting his legacy and looking like Sugar Ray Leonard when he kept coming back. He looks fat and old and it just hurts to see him doing this. What does fighting on do for him? Nothing, he needs to give it up.

    IMO, Tito sees Cottos new success and he's hating. Tito thinks his people have forgotten about him and he obviously misses the spotlight.

    If Tito is jealous of Cotto' popularity, why doesn't get down to 151 and fight him????

    He want the easy way out by not losing the weight and that's why he got waxed by Winky and RJJ.

    If he can make 160...then he should stay active....yesterday i didn't see the fight....a had the stream for a few round..but kept jumping in and out didn't wanna see it....today i saw the fight on Youtube..Tito looked good...speed was decent...BODY PUNCHING like i haven't seen since his days at 147....good jab...

    He just need to be alot more active..fight every 2-3 months..and SMART matchups...don't go in there against Winky Wright..or someone who will use alot of movement..and or has a good defense...

    This fight actually did good for Tito. He hasn't fought in hella. He didn't take a beating last night plus he make around $15million for this fight. Why not take another fight at around the 165lb range to see where he is at and then decide. I mean people are so fuking quick to write people off. Look at what many were trying to do with Brett Farve. By the way this is not hurting Tito's legacy in my eye's. Tito will always be remebered as a warrior that came to fight. I'll Holla 5000

    Yes, yes, Tito is still an incredible top notch p4p fighter who will steamroll through the middleweight division. AWESOME win for Roy. :bears:

    Only way Tito can look spectacular at this point is if he can pull Vargas outta retirement for a rematch.

    A Golota fan should NEVER accuse another fighter of juicing.

    rjj foughgt a bum who was 20 pounds(at least) above his best weight, and still couldn't stop him. They should both reite and stop tarnishing their legacies. Especially Roy.
