We have tok see this fight again. It would be amazing to see if Tito has what it takes now to dethrone Hopkins. Its really porbabaly a bigger money fight than Tarver/Hopkins so he should want to do it.
It looks like Sturm might get a shot before Tito since he's the mandatory, HBO says possibly in January. Good technical fight right there, most will hate it, though. Tito might have to find another fight before Hopkins.
Trinidad Will Give Hopkins A Better Fight This Time Round.... I Dont Think That Hopkins Will Fight Tito For At Least Another 6-9 Months.... His Age -will- Definately Catch Up With Him Soon
So........ If Tito Beats Him, Questions Eill Be Asked About Wether He Was Past It, We Need To See This Fight Sooner Rather Than Later, Other Wise It Will Not Be Fairly Judged
Hopkins has nothing to prove in fighting Tito whom he thoroughly beat. but a Hopkins-Tarver fight would not be Hopkins' 20th title defense which Bernard wants to attain. Hopkins-Sturm would clinch Bernard his goal of 20 successful title defenses.
Tito looked great last night. I want to see him vs DLH, then Hopkins.
He needs at least 1 more fight before he takes on Bernard.
i could not agree with you more. trinidad was lookin absolutely smokin and was more than impressed with his performance.
however, i think he should take on dlh first and make sure he's ready for this. personally, i think it would be a no contest situation against dlh, but he's gotta have one more worthy fight before hopkins.
hopkins has such a reach, i think that was one of the main advantages he had over dlh. but damn, trinidad looked so damn good out there, makes ya wonder what he's been doin for the last 2 1/2 years, eh?
Taylor takes B.Hop and Tito even easier. Hopkins would destroy Tito in a rematch. Did you even see the first fight? How does that justify a rematch? Taylor is the next great middleweight champ.
Wow, you really know how to overrate a guy the perfect way!
I agree with whoever said that Tito should go for DLH before Hop. Hop will beat him up like before but will take more punishment in return.
So,you agree that the fight will be pretty competitive now?
J. Taylor beats them both

I agree, Tito- Oscar and Tito- BHop should be. And so must De la Hoya-Mayorga, De la Hoya- Winky, Mayorga-Mosley and Mayorga-Winky be! Regardless of the result one predicts for all or any of those matches, they'll all be must-sees!
I'd love to see another Trinidad-Hopkins fight, definitely. I like Tito but I don't think he can beat B Hop, the man is simply much clever and stronger than him. This win over a tough warrior like Mayorga is statement enough that he's back. But it's not a good gauge in his chances against a rematch with The Executioner. Going into the first fight, Tito had an impressive win streak over David Reid, Mamadou Thiam, Fernando Vargas and William Joppy. Well, we all know what happened - the Trinidad train was derailed. He could come in much smarter though, learned from his past mistakes and adjust his battle plan...upsets does happens!
At the moment, I'd like to see him fight Oscar de la Hoya again. Win convincingly this time with an impressive KO!

Nothing will change. Tito will never be able to beat Hopkins no matter what weight or how old Hopkins is.
Trinidad will more than likely be beat by Hopkins again but I don't think Hopkins can knock Tito down at will. Hopkins has very good power but it took him 11 rounds and half the 12th to knock Tito down. I also don't think Hopkins can pull another master performance the way he did in 2001. Trinidad will do better the second time around but he still will lose.
props to Mayo for fighting like a man...I don't even know the commentators from Kingvision and instead of pounds and inches they put Kg and centimeters!!!WTF...Right now it's 3pm here and Tito just got out of the plane and people are going fucking crazy...

Now THAT is an excellent shot!!
I know but will Nard stick around so long...We might miss a great fight!
BTW did you saw the fight? cuz instead of HBO PPV I got fucking Kingvision :mad:
What!? Are you serious? Who was doing the play by play?
That fight was awesome huh! Dude, Tito is back! I thought he looked great and you have to hand it to Mayo for being such a warrior.
Good point about DLH he does have unfinished business with him, and I'd give him a damn good shot at beating DLH at 160, far too much power and DLH has slowed over the last couple of years.
Tito can erase the bad memory from DLH I by KOing him in his next fight then once again get beat by X and retire again!!
No shame in losing to Bernard twice, then all 3 can retire as Hall of Famers
Shit Tito destroys Mayo and ppl still say that he is not ready for Nard...Nard is almost retired and if this fight doesn't happens soon we will never see it. Don't come with that bullshit that he needs another fight before taking Nard...That the same ppl said of Mayo's fight. Who are the two biggest names in middleweigh right now??? Tito and B-Hop. Let's make this fight happen...The only reason for Tito to comeback from retirement is to make a rematch with B-Hop.
I want to see him take on nard just as bad as you do I just think he needs to finish shit with DLH first then Bernard. Bernard is a much more dangerous opponent. I think he needs 1 more fight first.
