    Well according to the Puerto Rican Herald (I can't find the link but I have posted it here on a few occasions) said that Trinidad's father did NOT want a rematch with DLH.

    He also went to say that he would only fight if Trinidad got a 70-30 split in his favour or he wouldn't fight. (which was reported by ESPN as well)

    DLH scoffed at that saying that he's the bigger draw and that he would never take the low end.

    I have done my research and most people think that DLH didn't want to fight Tito, for reason's I don't understand. DLH has wanted Tito for the longest time but Tito's father never wanted to discuss the number's in a serious manner.

    It was even reported that DLH took Tito and his father out to dinner and Tito was leaning towards a rematch but his father nixed it. I don't know if that story is true but I have heard that as well.

      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
      if u watch the Whitaker fight especially u can see what im talking about the screaming & support for Oscar when he flurries etc ,all Flash fighter seem to benfit from it RJJ & Ray Leonard etc

        Mayweather would have stopped Judah in the 10th round had Zab not deliberately fouled him. I couldn't disagree more. There was only 10 seconds left in the round, so unless you think Floyd was capable of KOing Zab cold, I don't see how you would think Mayweather would have got the stoppage there.

          Kostya Tszyu was shot when he fought Ricky Hatton. This is a myth. Tszyu was past his prime but shot he was not.

            Zab Judah would have beat Cotto if he hadn't been hit low.

                Hell yes, I'm so sick of this myth. Nobody can seem to name the fight or the round this allegedly happened. This has always sounded like one of those sappy Bert Sugar tales to me.

                    Fake Floyd is the greatest of all time.

                    Also this is the biggest insult.

                      That is a fact, not a myth.
