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.
Problem is that I think there are two things that Mayorga can do better then DeLaHoya at middleweight- and it is correct that moving around is not one of them.
1) Mayorga probably can take the better shots- Mayorga is a power punch, end of story... In DLH's fight with Hopkins, Oscar hit Hopkins with everything but the kitchen sink and Bernard was not even phased.
2) Take punishment- steel jawed Mayorga was able to take most of Tito's shots for eight rounds, except for the blistering hooks to the body. Now if only I could think of another jr. middleweight who was fighting a big name at 160 and looked like he could not handle punches downstairs.... hmmmmm.....
Tito look stronger and more comfortable at Middleweight. IMO Hopkins could have done more damage to DLH if he had open up earlier and hadn't paid too much respect to him. Trinidad by having that rest may have given himself a couple more years in the sport and look fresh and ready while DLH look old and worned out.
