    I had him winning the fight, even though he gave the last few rounds to Trinidad. Those three rounds could have made his career much bigger.

      I think a loss for Trinidad would have been more devastating for Tito's career. I think he would have faded away like Ike Quartey.

          Maybe dag. I never scored the fight. Some things are beyond scorecards and that fight was one of them. From eyesight it looked like Oscar might've won more rounds but, somehow, I felt it was the right decision .

            Funny how people crucify De La Hoya for running the last 3 rounds.....but give Mayweather and Camacho a passer or even props for running the full 12. Just freakin' amazing.

              You really can't tell the difference between Floyd's masterful boxing and Oscar's just plain running?

                Muhammed Ali = masterful boxer
                Pernell Whitaker = masterful boxer
                Floyd Mayweather Jr. = take a pot-shot then run like **** and hope Hector Camacho doesn't sue for stealing his act

                  He won the first 5 rounds or so then he felt Tito's power and didnt want to get hurt so he ran the last half of the fight,Tito didnt win the fighjt but ODLH lost it like a *****.Similar to what happened to clottey vs cotto,if clottey would have fought the last two rounds like he did the prior rounds he would have won,ODLH and Clottey both gave their fights away

                    De La Hoya against Trinidad = retreating in fear.
