Hopkins condition has not been damaged by his age, he has more experience, the wisdom to use that experience, and his intelligence is the same if not improved. Tito as well has become mentally sharper, and his condition hasnt been fkd by a vacation. He was training for a long time even as a retired fighter. Tito's style however has not changed, and Hopkins' intelligence and ring wisdom allows him to do what Great fighters do, make adjustments, and he has the wisdom, like i said, to use his experience. Tito is a fearsome physical presence fighting, power with both hands, sound defense, and heart the size of the entire island of puerto rico, and Hopkins is an excellent fighter all around with intelligence and creativity in the ring, he can simultanusly study and adjust to his opponents strengths/weaknessess. Y? its not a godgiven talent, its because he has trained himself to do so since the beginning instead of jus relying on physical talents. i see a difficult fight for both, they are both different fighters with difficult styles. Tito is a sound all around, and so is hopkins. In my opinion, if Hopkins come in focused and mentally sharp as he did and has, and i do believe he will, i believe its a 12 rd decision for Hopkins. or maybe sooner, who knows?
If Trinidad and Hopkins fight again...

I disagree, DLH did land more pitty-pat punches, but Tito landed more power punches. Tito was also the aggresser in the fight. Tito did get hit, but some of those punches the fans & the announcers went crazy for were blocked. I think Tito will definately fight better in the ramtch with Hopkins and pull out a KO.Originally posted by maxpaynei would pick bernard 9 out of 10 times if they fight.tito skills are no where as close as hopkins skills. de la hoya and hopkins made tito look like he was an amateur.Tito has trouble with people who use their legs.i want to see tito win against a true middleweight than i might give him more of a chance of beating hopkinsComment
