Will We Ever Get Another De La Hoya vs. Trinidad?

**** there isnt even a fighter today thats on the level of oscar in his prime or trinidad in his prime

[UrDazed]

Yeah it's amazing how bad boxing has regressed from even the 90s. Fck sakes it's depressing.

baldomir-mayweather came pretty damn close.

[Scarcaztic]

Yeah but to say Trinidad moved up for the Hopkins fight like Hopkins was a somebody is just nonsense. He was pretty much the sacrificial lamb and a stepping stone to Roy Jones vs Trinidad.

Then Hopkins upset the apple cart

Either way, he moved up for the money, didn't he?

Yeah Hopkins the big PPV draw

You just said he went up to fight Roy, but B-Hop got in the way.

Yeah but you said he went up looking for Hopkins which is false.

[Scarcaztic]

The whole point in me saying that is, Tito didn't move up, because he couldn't make weight. He went up for another super fight. The original theme of our debate. All technicalities aside, he still went up chasing the money.

Amirite?

Urdazed has an obvious agenda.

Yeup...sounds in tone like a familiar other poster i know around here.

We get them every year. Guy gets outboxed for most of the fight and gets the decision regardless.
