    Go easy on Rubio, he's still recovering from brain damage. His wife told me last night that they only recently removed the tubes from his ass..

    In the hospital, I had tubes coming out of my chest in two places, plus my nose and my cock, but never my ass. You seem more inclined that way.

    I don't care if Taylor got two gift decisions over Hopkins, I simply cannot see him beating Trinidad. The only thing that would help him survive for as long as he would is his size, but on size alone I don't think he could beat Trinidad. Somebody mentioned Taylor's jab, but I don't see it as a factor here simply because he throws it lazily and with horrible technique, as opposed to snapping it out there quickness and sharpness, and then bringing it back to protect from the counter.


    Taylor's power I don't see as a factor here mostly because his shots are wide and inaccurate, and also because he just doesn't let his hands go enough. Sorry, but your not gonna beat Tito by just waiting and waiting, and backing up into the ropes IN A STRAIGHT LINE with your hands carried low. Sorry but that spells disaster with a capital D against not just Trinidad, but any fighter with the short, accurate punching ability of Tito. Trinidad's punching power alone would make Taylor reluctant to fight and thus JT would be the one to lose the decision, getting seriously rocked and buzzed along the way, moreso than Trinidad.

    I'm more of a Trinidad fan than I am a Taylor fan...and Tayor would beat Tito every day of the week.

    I'm not a fan of either, but Tito would have iced Taylor. The Tito that beat Joppy I mean. Taylor beats the come-back Tito that fought Bumorga, and Winky.

    Taylor wouldn't fight Tito the way he fought Kassim Ouma....just bare this in mind for starters.

    Taylor had zero respect for Ouma's punching power (for good reason) and so fought a very sloppy and overconfident fight.

    Against Tito he'd keep moving, pumping the jab and throwing hellacious combos off the ropes whenever cornered.

    Tito would be beaten badly, believe me, and would go out sooner than he did against Hopkins.

    Tito was no worse when he came back. He was the same Tito as always.
    He was the same Tito that fought Joppy. Only difference is his opponents were different ...
    He was sloppy as hell Vs Joppy .. Joppy was even winning until he got caught - and Joppy sucks ..

    JT WOULD SODOMIZE CHEATO. When will you people learn that just because Tito was a disgusting cheat and exciting to watch he wasn't good, especially at Middleweight.

    I tend to agree with most of that.

    I think Taylor would jab and move just enough to keep Tito from zeroing in on him.

    Tito would have his moments (possibly staggering JT) as Taylor isn't a great mover, but I could also see Tito catching a right hand at some point (Taylor fighting off the ropes or an exchange in the middle of the ring) and possibly going down.

    In the end I think Taylor would win via late stoppage or decision.

    That's just stupid. Joppy stood and traded with Trinidad. Taylor wouldn't.

    If he had zero respect for Ouma's power, I really tend to think that he would have let his hands go more, sloppy or not(Everything about Taylor is sloppy). Instead, he continued backing into the ropes with his hands low and his chin in the air, and simply clinch. To me, those tactics do not reflect those of a fighter having zero respect for his opponent's punching power.

    The movement you describe I have never seen Taylor ever put on display before. Mostly because Taylor doesn't really have good footwork and his balance is poor.

    Hard for me to see, to be honest. I can see Taylor lasting the distance but not getting much else done. He leaves too many openings to beat a fighter like Trinidad and he doesn't have the offense to keep Trinidad at bay either.

    He'd still kayo Trindad.If Tito weren't such a cunt, he'd step up and try to redeem is horrendous loss to Winky by at least fighting Taylor. Tito couldn't beat Winky with a rifle.

    Fought evenly with Hopkins and Wright, both of who narrowly escaped with victories against Tito

    Styles make fights. Trinidad at his best gives Taylor a cruel beating.

    OMG! I can't believe the incompetence here. You people actually think Taylor would have a chance against Tito? If Tito came out of retirement tommorrow I'd pick him to beat JT. I mean the guy is an alltime great. What has Taylor done besides narrowly edge Hopkins twice? Beat up a bunch of jr middles that's what but hey, I guess that's the resume of a guy that could beat Tito because after all Taylor's bigger than him.

    Oh, I'm not done, we have to break this down. Now the only people who beat Tito either had great footwork or great defense, Hopkins had both not to mention an outstanding chin. Taylor doesn't posses any one of these attributes. He hasn't even displayed above average power and his chin is still a question mark. Tito would have caught him with a hook, hurt him and finished him sometime during the fight.

    I wish Tito would come out of retirement, because I'm so sure he could beat Taylor even today that I would sig beat on it. Taylor just doesn't have the style to beat Tito. Eventually he's going to get hit, and that means eventually he's going to lose.

    I think Trinidad, if he's not completely shot which he might be, could beat Taylor, Miranda, and Pavlik all very very easily. The middleweight division is complete shit right now.

    Agree totally. None of them have the style to deal with his power which is quite simply off the charts. His technical skill is also underrated.

    No. But perhaps Tito would land eight punches per round against Taylor doubling his punches landed against Wright.

    Nonsense. He might beat Miranda. Tito is so overrated. He is nowhere near a great fighter in skills or accomplishments. Taylor and Pavlik knock him out. He might go te distance with Taylor and lose 11-1 or 10-2; Pavlik stops him 10 out of 10. Easily.

    Are you serious Ike? Miranda, Pavlik, and Taylor are all bums. I would pound all of those guys to death.
