if tito brings a new game to the table he has a chance. if he fights the same as last time he doesnt.

I'm a big Trinidad fan but I think b-hop is just too big, too strong and too smart for tito. The guy(b-hop) does'nt seeem to age bro. What is he ? a middle age monster or what?

Hopkins will win by Ko, he wants it more, Trinidad is a bully and deosn`t like it when he has to fight against a true opponent!

This message goes out to everyone who has an opinion on who would win this fight...

We can only predict what the outcome of this fight will be based on the first fight..

Hopkins kills Trinidad again.
Reason: Trinidad is one-dimensional, and during their fight, Hopkins only had to look for something what worked against him, and keep doing it, because Trinidad reacts the same way to the same thing, no matter how it gets him.

People, please look at the first fight, look how Hopkins lands the 1-2 (jab, straight right) combo at will. Letterman commented on that during the fight, he said you would think Tito would eventually see it coming, and come at more of an angle..another thing, look at the move Hopkins KD Trinidad with (upper-cut to draw the left hook only to be in a good position to land the straight right), he used it earlier in the fight, like a round & a half ago, and Trinidad just fell for the same thing...another thing, look at round 9, I believe it was, whenever you are at close range with Tito, and you let your hands go on him, he's going to throw the left hook. All Hopkins did was land a three hit combo, ducked and walked away, he did the same thing three times, and Trinidad never caught on..

Hopkins will kill this kid. Being one-dimensional can only get you so far, especially when your best attribute becomes a non-factor...
Again, Merchant said, "When a guy is as good as puncher as Trinidad, he depends on that, he expects that somewhere along the way it will play the difference, and if it doesn't...whatever his answers are to Bernard Hopkins."

Tito will win and it will be so easy that ppl will be on shock...Nard did his best career fight against Tito and Tito underestimated Nard and was looking for a quick KO...I believe that Tito will come prepared for this one if it happens and I doubt that Nard will be able to do the same fight he did in 2001.

Based on his past performances i dont know if i could honestly say that Tito ever placed all of his hoped on a quick KO. Tito looked trained a ready for that fight to me.

Kimmy I wouldnt agree with that answer. Trinidad has fought some of the best fighters in the world. I honestly think if you take a look at Trinidad's record and Hopkins. Trinidad by far has the best quality opponents. When a fighter steps into the ring with Trinidad they believe they could push him around and slug with him huge mistake, as with Hopkins all he did in his fight was counter Trinidad until later into the fight when he starter to become a more offensive fighter. I honestly think Hopkins is a awesome fighter, but 2 beat Trinidad twice is a huge huge task. The night they fought he had the greatest plan and executed it well, I dont think he could do it again, but thats my opinion. Its hard to beat an A CLASS fighter twice.

in my humble opinion if Tito learned more skills like better defense, mixing up combiantions, he can reach greatness. it may be time for tito to add a new trainer to work with Tito Sr. just to bring new skills to the table.

want to see more of coming back tito. the mayorga did not mean **** to me

hopkins will have to get older someday

if it happened today hopkins

also it's not like nard brought his A game to eak out a decision he probably brought his A game (like he did in every fight in the past 10 years, the only guy he could not figure out was Roy Jones Jr.) and handed tito his ass
