    Well,i think itīs obvious that if DLH fights at 160 it wonīt do him good again,he should drop weight cause hes fights with Sturm and Hopkins were a failure.
    He should drop weight or he will have another loss on hes record, that being said,i really like the guy,heīs got heart and balls to fight anyone.

      The reason DLH didn't box Hopkins and decided to take the fight to him is because that all he can do. At 160 there is no way DLH has the stamina to stay away from Tito all night long and box like he did in the first fight. DLH's stamina is gone and thats what caused the most amount of damage. The body shot proved that the extra weight isn't helping oscar at all and he needs to move down in weight. Mosely hit Oscar with everything he had to the body and DLH wasn't hurt. A glancing blow by B-Hop and he is down for the count you do the math.

        I don't think DLH would last. His stamina was bad and at 160 is worse. So,I agree with you.

        Trinidad is Back!!!

            It would only be a 10 round fight...I'll take DelaHollywood.

              Why would it only be a 10 round fight?

              DLH had a speed advantage at 160, and more power to keep Tito at bay. Tito hasn't lost any power at 160 and he looks just as comfortable. DLH doesn't have the speed or the power at 160 to do what he did in their first fight. I think Tito would keep walking him down until DLH started getting hit in the later rounds.

              Tito by TKO in the late rounds, or a lopsided decision with DLH going down at least once.

                Middleweight is the best chance for Tito to beat Oscar. He already said he wouldn't make a catch weight so Oscar is out of luck there.

                  Tito will always look good when he has a guy stand in front of him and come at him.

                  Tito cant fight guys that move. He wasn't even competative in his fights with Hopkins and DLH.

                  Tito cannot deal with guy who can move

                  and he wont be if they ever fight again.
                  EXACTLY, I agree with you

                    Wow - talk about jumping to conclusions after Tito has a fight with a guy who was tailored made for him. Mayorga has Gatti like defense - he comes forward, throws wildly and has iron in his chin. When you do that against a guy with power and skills, like Tito, and are at a weight you've never fought at (showing a loss of power and stamina) you're simply not going to win, (much like how Gatti was destroyed by De la hoya when he moved up).
                    Based on this fight, people think all of a sudden that Tito can "destroy" De La Hoya - an all time great with incredibly quick hands, solid power and great boxing skills. De la Hoya dominated Trinidad in 8 rounds of their first fight. Trinidad doesn't have a great chin, and he can be hit, especially by a guy with a great jab like De la Hoya. I also love how everyone thinks De la Hoya can't fight at 160 because of his performances against two of the top guys in the division, not to mention one of the best middleweights in history in Hopkins. It's not like Trinidad fared much better against Hopkins - I'd say De la Hoya arguably won more rounds against Hopkins than trinidad did.
                    I'm not a huge De la Hoya fan, but come on - let's keep this in perspective - Tito's win over Mayorga was impressive, but it in no way suggests that Tito can suddenly destroy the likes of De la Hoya or present a much greater challenge to Hopkins than he did the first fight. It would at least be a strongly competitive bout - no way it would be as easy as against Mayorga.
