    ....ah; but De La Hoya blew it against Trinidad.....and then went on to lose to Mosley. Trinidad also handed Campas and Carr their first loses while Oscar batted clean-up.

    While I'll admit Oscar won the Trinidad bout on "my" scorecard, I can't argue with him losing that fight because of the way he closed the show. He didn't fight like he wanted it; he fought like he thought he deserved to win. You can't do that against another top fighter....it is boxing, afterall....and that fight was for The World Championship. Oscar fought so beautifully for the first 8 rounds; but he blew it in the "championship rounds"....how ironic.

    Trinidad officially never lost a Welterweight fight where Oscar lost against the two best prime welters he faced. He beat Quartey; but lost to Trinidad and Mosley, who was coming up from lightweight.

    Sorry, can't agree with that.
