      I THINK HIS 1st BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS RUNNING FROM TRINIDAD. THAT FIGHT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO BOTH OF THEM IN THEIR CAREERS.BOTH AT THEIR PRIME, BOTH YOUNG, BOTH UNBEATEN, BOTH LOVED BY THEIR LOYAL FANS.OSCAR WAS WINNING EARLY ON HE SHOULD HAVE HAD CONFIDENTS IN HIMSELF AND FINISHED THE LAST COUPLE OF ROUNDS LIKE A WARRIOR.EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE SAY IT'S DANGEROUS TITO COULD HAVE KNOCKED HIM OUT THIS IS BOXING LIKE A YOUNG MIKE TYSON SAID THIS IS THE HURT BUSINESS WHEN YOU GET IN THAT RING GIVE IT YOUR ALL AND LEAVE IT ALL IN THE RING DON'T RUN CAUSE YOU WANT TO SECURE A WIN!LIKE I SAID THIS IS BOXING NOT TRACK.HE SHOULD HAVE FAUGHT TILL THE END GUNS BLAZING....HE LOST A LOT OF FANS THAT DAY AS WELL AS RESPECT.

                I personally think this one is obvious.

                Fighting Pacquiao was not only a lose - lose situation for him but he agreed to moving down to 147, a weight he hasn't made in years.

                On fight night was weight drained and was dished out a one sided beating by a way smaller man in a fight he was supposed to easily win.

                  Fighting Pacquiao, it was terrible for his rep win or lose.

                    Very true, you need that good bond with a trainer... and stick with them for years, etc.

                      He made some... Moving down in weight at his age/inactivity level, giving up the last three rounds to Trinidad, even though many still had him winning. There should have been a rematch, if he didnt take it then thats mistake 3.
