        Lennox Lewis was packing Glass

        Judah showed heart in the Cotto fight

        Eubank was finished by the time he fought Calzaghe ,he was 28 at the time & has stated in his book he trained hard for the fight & he had no excuses what so ever ,Eubank had previously been in wars with J Jarvis ,R Close ,D Sherry,G Stretch Lmao

        that Dela Hoya was flat out robbed against Trinidad

        that Mike Tyson was unbeatable in the late 80's ,he fought nobody its no coincidence he got beat as soon as he faced the real deal Holyfeild who was also a top fighter

        that was my biggest Gripe with this fight for me ,Oscar niether Tito deserved the win i thought it was a draw but i could'nt give the fight to Oscar just because he threw it away after looking impressive up untill that point ,u only score 10-9 unless there is a knockdown no matter how impressively u win the rounds, and Trinidad was let back into the fight by Oscar so i couldnt give it to him either

        I can agree with that but remember, there's sort of an unwritten rule about taking the belt from the champ. I just don't think that Tito deserved to win because he really didn't do much in that fight, even in the last 4 rounds where DLH was on his bicycle. Tito never hurt Oscar and I thought that Oscar should have retained his belt to set upa re-match but once Tito won, he wanted no part of Oscar after that and stayed as far away from him as possible.

          who said that???? as far as i know the rematch was about to be made in 04 but de la hoya didn't wanted to fight at 160 so he refused to fight tito do some research before u say that.

            Hagler knows that he won the fight, everyone was watching Leonard because they couldn't beleive he wasn't actually knocked out yet. People stopped paying attention to all the shots Hagler was giving. Hagler won In My Opinion, no need to feel sorry for me

              both tito and oscar had titles.

              tito had the ibf title @ 147 since 1993.
              dlh had the wbc title @ 147 since 1997.


              there was talk of a rematch the next year, but they couldn't come to terms on money and a catch weight.

                Then why didn't Leonard give Hagler the rematch? I had Leonard winning as well but it was a close fight. Leonard refused to give the man a rematch....

                  Richard Steele did the right thing with Meldrick Taylor (BULL****!)

                  Tyson really knocked out Buster Douglass but got the slow count.

                    Oscar enhability to engauge Tito is the reason he lost that fight in essence it is Oscar who tried to steel the fight not Tito ,they were both Champions that why it was a showdown to be Undiputed WW Champion so the notion that Tito should have ripped the title away is false ,if Tito did'nt hold a belt & Oscar did fair enough

                    remember a Champion does have to have to defend his belt ,he dont automatically keep it because his oponent does'nt rip it away form him ,people want to see a winner in a fight of this magnitude they want to know who is the true WW Champ

                    i called it a draw but i can understand why Tito got the decision ,it sounds ****** but u have to take into account the screams female audiences give off in Oscar fights & the sway it can have with the viewers or Judges & when u got Jim Lampley nuthugging him to death it is much harder to score his fights
