Trinidad vs. De La Hoya?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

It's a different story this time around. De La Hoya beats Trinidad easier this time.

Oscar will embarrass Tito (again). Tito did well against Jones considering his long hiatus, but he is slower than ever. Oscar is not as fast as he once was either, but he will seriously land 6-punch combos on Tito if they do the rematch. Oscar by wide UD.

That may be......but only for the first few of rounds. Tito has crazy stamina, and believe me when I tell you, Oscar De La Hoya can't hang with Trinidad! Sure, the better boxing skills goes to DLH, but when that boy starts to gas out...he don't want none of Tito's Left Hook!

Oscar beat Trinidad when they where both in their prime. At this point Oscar would finish him easier.

It hasnt happend in 8 years I still dont think it will.(even tho I want it to)

But these days where would they fight at? Trinidad could hardly make 170. Oscar said 160 was a huge push and wouldnt never fight there again. His last two fights were at 154 and has "said" hes going back down to 147. So I just dont see it happening, even more so since they both have plenty of other options. Also it was in the contracts, that if the rematch ever happend it would be a 50/50 split of the money. You know Oscar isnt having any of that.

I was wondering how many posts were going to get posted before someone pointed out that their last fight's weight differential is 16 pounds...

Tito hasn't taken care of himself, and Oscar has... Tito is just too big for Oscar now. No dice.

Good point during the Trinidad fight. They said should Trinidad face De La Hoya?
What do you think?

like kellerman said a fight they can play at the end of their careers but the weight is a problem

funny how people say Oscar beat Trinidad but say nothing about Pernell beating Oscar, all Trinidad has to do against Oscar or anyone for that matter is just let his hands go, stop thinking so hard and throw punches in bunches, not freeze up and just go for it the way he did against Vargas, had he done that against Jones for the whol 12 he would have had an easy night, without putting SOOO much effort he won 3-4 rounds of the early half of the fight, I think if he just stops drilling his head with thoughts of a KO he could do great but one he starts head hunting and balling up then anyone can beat him, he allows himself to be beat, notice how EVERYTIME Trinidad looked spectacular it was when he let his hands go? even against Joppy, Cherifi and Mayorga but the few times he's faced text book Boxers he balled up and dramatically decreased his punch count to a point where he welcomes defeat, he was doing great with Jones early on but once Jones kicked the Boxing he just stopped doing what he was doing and didn't throw punches..

he just needs to fill his tank next time he comes and let those hands go, head movement and quick continuous punches will have Trinidad, even today, at a high point in his career skill wise, his power will back him but he has to throw punches, if he does that then Oscar wont see him..

Sure, that would be the recipe for success for just about any fighter. Trouble is, Tito hasn't done that in quite a long time, so why would anyone believe that he'd suddenly be able to do that now? Btw, what does Pernell have to do with the discussion? Not a great fight, but Oscar beat him on the cards and in the ring.

i wouldn't mind seeing them fight but don't think they could agree on a weight to fight at

[MELLY-MEL...]

it will happen, and i think odlh will win impressively! tito will be way to slow, and odlh seems to have aged better for his skills seem more intact. maybe if tito can get a few more fights, and fight more often he can regain some of his skills!
