[Alec900]

I was just reading the measured against time - trinidad article and it got me thinking about the tito-oscar fight.I think Oscar won that fight but Tito got the decision so I think rematch would have been in order but there never was one,why was that?could someone enlighten me,please

tito knew he lost and was smart enough to avoid it although it was a sucker move because his biggest achievement will now forever be tainted.

yes, Tito avoided another monster payday and a possible trilogy had he lost the rematch

Trinidad was getting bigger he had struggled for years to make 147 and the oscar fight was his last fight at 147. He moved up to 154 immediately after and kept going up

oscar never seemed to want it until after trinidad lost to hopkins.

nope,Tito and King didn't want it. that was easy money for Oscar. 'hence' lets move up in weight, witch Tito ended up doing after that fight. it was a good tactic by Tito's part. after all, he did get Thoroughly Outclassed.

the rematch didn't happen cause dlh didn't want to give up the bigger purse to tito

Because Oscar didnt want to. He talked all that **** about how he gave him a boxing lesson and how it was easy. Then why not fight again and have another easy payday vs a guy that you were easily giving a boxing lesson to? Yes Tito struggled with making weight at 147lbs, but he would have fought Oscar @147lbs again IF Oscar wanted to. DLH wanted the Lions share of the pot for the rematch and Don King wasnt having that. Oscar knew damn well Tito beat him and he thought since he was the Golden Boy that he could run the last 5 rounds and get ANOTHER GIFT DECISION.

Why would you go fight Derrell Coley instead of a HUGE EASY PAY DAY vs Tito? A guy you gave a boxing lesson to?

Tito moved to 154 lb and ODLH said that he would never fight him at that weight. Tito had outgrown at WW and had said that the unification bout between him an ODLH had to be done at WW.

Tito did take other challenges IMO he never avoided the rematch against ODLH.

There was so much hype before the fight that they called it the fight of the century. It was a let down in terms of excitment in a fight. Didn't hear a lot of ppl calling out for a rematch

Dude why would they do that?....lol Oscar wanted the Lions share as the guy NOT with the undefeated record and NOT with the title. Him playing hardball was his way of NOT wanting to fight Tito again. Tito was NEVER afraid of anyone. Why would he be afraid to make a boatload of cash vs Oscar?
