Who performed better against Hopkins?

[Sir_Jose]

well my Mexican blood does make it difficult to side with a Puerto Rican , but in this one im just calling it like I see it. I have never seen Hopkins rocked in a fight and he has shown nothing but an iron chin.

I just dont see anyone rocking him especially someone who came up from 147.

[bigdlb12]

147? you mean 130lbs, DLH did alot better than alot though he would, I for one had the fight even going into the 9th, if anyone here has not seen it, when you watch try to score the fight and let us know how you had it by the 9th. Now as far as tito /DLH vs Nard, I am going to say DLH, yeah tito was always coming and never backing up which cost him the KO, other than that I bet that had Nard landed that shot top the liver on Tito ,he aswell may have folded up too, but hey you never know. Hopkins is a must see middle weight, look foward for him fighting,Winky or Mosley or Mayorga

[Sir_Jose]

no 147 I was talking about Tito being able to rock Hopkins not DLH

Tito did waaaaaaaay better than Oscar!

First off, did Oscar even land a clean blow? Maybe a jab here and an arm punch there, but he never landed a good punch.
Tito was landing his punches at a moderate rate, and they where not weak punches either.
Hopkins didn't even have to work that much in his fight with Oscar, but with Tito he fought his ass off.

Plus De La Hoya was screaming like he got ****d, nuff said.

hahaha

oh ok

I see someone is a little bias

[comepana]

Tito do have awsome power at 160 ask Joppy about it.Tito never caught Nard with a big hand.I heard a joke of DLH,heard he had diarrhea on that fight and when Bernard Gave him that punch he **** his pants and couldn't get up.LOL

[Hurlex]

dude of course most people will say dlh..but remember hopkins set him up for it...between round is trainer even said ok it working he starting to come in more now...

damn what a smart fighter..gave oscar confidence so when oscar later in the fight came in thinking he was stil on top..hopkins started landing more and finally koing him

By no means i am i trying to be a tito nuthugger or take away from his win..but you guys do know why tito wants a rematch right

tito was helping at a lot of homeless centers after the 9-11 attack..and he didnt train i thin it was a whole week before the fight cuz he was helping..thats why he saids he wants a rematch just to prove to himeself the if he loses it will be at his best

recently his exact words were" i am not trying to make people feel sorry for me ..or take away from hopkins win over me that night..this is for me..i knwo i was not at my best..and want just one more shot..as week speak hopkins is still mad cuz even after dlh fight he has not gotten respecy he wants..well hopkins here it is"

tito on hopkins bloack in first round-"i know it was a plan all along thats why i was surprised i kept saying to myself..even mayorga would get past that defense..then he started getting better as rounds past"

[teakay]

hahaha

oh ok

I see someone is a little bias

But if you read the examples I wrote, you will find everything to be true. That is what I based my assesment on.

My conclusion:
Doing something and paying for it(Tito) is better than doing nothing and paying for it(DLH).

Although Oscar was KO'ed by Hopkins quicker, at least he managed to win some rounds along the way. Tito was the victim of what was basically a clean sweep up until he got knocked out. Oscar was doing some decent things in the ring- he was just by far the weaker man. Tito had no answer whatsoever for what Hopkins was doing to him- by that logic I think Oscar performed better.

[snoopy360]

As far as doing better against B-Hop I have to say Oscar showed the better skills. But when it comes to heart and determination then I have to say Tito. To me those will always make a true champion. Yes B-Hop dismantled Tito but never once did he give up trying to land the big Left hook. Never once did he stay down on the canvas. Tito always got back up, Tito didn't quit in his fight against B-Hop. While DLH quit, I really don't believe Hopkins has the power to KO someone with a body shot.
