I have to give it to Roy Jones. He is an amazing boxer. It is close between him and mosley. That would be a great fight
I dont give a God damn,
on the fights you did,
how many moves you got,
or who knows you kid,
cause i don’t know you therefore show me what you know,

Hmmm…I voted for trinidad. I’m kinda suprised that no one (as of this post) voted for Mosley.
On pure skill, Roy competes, but as for fighting top opposition…well, we all know the standard complaints about Roy ducking fights. Also, knocking Joppy out vs. being frusturated by Hopkins = edge to Tito.
All you guys in the states, have you heard of a new boxer named Anthony Mundine?
Im not saying his the best pro boxer, far from it. Im just curious if boxing news in australia gets over to the US.

Mr nemo,
Yeh he weighs in at 76kg. Yeh he was a former professional football player here in australia.
He has just won his 9th professional fight.
9 fights, 9 wins, 7 KOs.
I was never into boxing but he has sparked my interest in it.
hi everybody i chose bernard hopkins. he gave roy jones one of his hardest fights, he’s very sneaky, quick, and strong. one of the reason i like him is his strong presence in the ring–he is a very scary guys to fight against.
when you see him beat trinidad (who is my true favorite fighter, dont fight him tito!) he is going to go after roy next you guys watch.
the reason you dont see him get a lot of big fights is he is not a politics guy, and he pisses of the boxing bosses because he is very outsopken for boxers rights. HBO does not even like to interview him.
Good call. Felix fights north-south as does Hopkins. So I agree with you, Felix is about to run into a guy who he can’t intimidate with his power. Felix will NOT be able to back Hopkins up.
Hell Antwun Echols throws grenades and Hopkins just laughed at him.
Hopkins in 8. If Hopkin’s doesn’t KO Felix, he can forget about winning. It’ll be Hagler V. Leonard all over again.
RJJ will never fight Hopkins again. I think Roy’s got the best tool box since Ali, but he doesn’t wan’t any hard fights at this point.
Although, if Tito takes a big enough bite out of Hopkins or if Hopkins starts to look a little shopworn, RJJ might look for a bout with him.
Just like DeLahoya wouldn’t touch Vargas before Tito took a big bite out of him. Now that Vargas is softened up, Oscar can’t wait to get him in the ring.
I actually think Mundine is one of the greatest boxers of all time. Anyone who can get the crap beat out of them for the entire fight and still get the decision has to be pretty special…
I feel what some of you guys are saying, but don’t ever underestimate Tito’s punching power or skill in the ring. If you don’t believe me just ask Joppy.
I dunno. Every Tito fight I think “this is the fight where he gets stopped” but it never happens. Maybe it will be the other way around this time cuz I think Tito will open up on Hopkins.
RJJ could stop Bernard. Tito’s not fast enough to “out speed” Bernard like RJJ. Bernard has good whiskers. I don’t think Tito hits any harder than Echols and he certainly doesn’t hit as hard as Jones.
Tito may have to do a little backing up in this one.
I voted for RJJ, because is the man. Some guy was tyring to argue with me the other day that in a NHB fight, Jet Li would destroy RJJ, I had the best laugh of my life. RJJ is the man.
I would also love to see RJJ and Trinidad go out at. Mosely and De La Hoya are also good fighters. I also belive that Hector Macho Camacho Jr may be someone to watch.
As far as heaveyweights go, I still like Tyson. Always been a fan of him, always will, looking foward to see him rip more people’s heads off with his hooks.
As far as all time boxers I like Kid Chocolate, Kid Gavilan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Ray Lenoard, Jack Johnson, ALI, Archie Moore, Whitaker, Hagler, Marciano, etc, etc lets not get carried away
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” Nietzsche
I agree with Bai He and that other guy. Tito is in for it. But I kinda hope that he fights RJJ after win or lose, that fight will be amazing. RJJ will kill him, I don’t know what that debate is all about. RJJ is a phenom who coasts through his fights hardly breaking a sweat. Everyone was warning him about Gonzales and how big a heart he has blablalbala and RJJ handled him like it was nothing.
Anyways, the top two in boxing right now are RJJ and Mosely. Nobody thinks so because they don’t have the “big” fights that Tito, De La Hoya, Vargas, etc … have, but their skill right now is head and shoulders above the rest.
SInce we’ve started a boxing thread, any comments on Nov. 17th??? I say Lennox by KO in the 3rd.
