    I agree with whoever said that Tito should go for DLH before Hop. Hop will beat him up like before but will take more punishment in return.

      I'd love to see another Trinidad-Hopkins fight, definitely. I like Tito but I don't think he can beat B Hop, the man is simply much clever and stronger than him. This win over a tough warrior like Mayorga is statement enough that he's back. But it's not a good gauge in his chances against a rematch with The Executioner. Going into the first fight, Tito had an impressive win streak over David Reid, Mamadou Thiam, Fernando Vargas and William Joppy. Well, we all know what happened - the Trinidad train was derailed. He could come in much smarter though, learned from his past mistakes and adjust his battle plan...upsets does happens!

      At the moment, I'd like to see him fight Oscar de la Hoya again. Win convincingly this time with an impressive KO!

        I agree, Tito- Oscar and Tito- BHop should be. And so must De la Hoya-Mayorga, De la Hoya- Winky, Mayorga-Mosley and Mayorga-Winky be! Regardless of the result one predicts for all or any of those matches, they'll all be must-sees!

          J. Taylor beats them both

          Taylor takes B.Hop and Tito even easier. Hopkins would destroy Tito in a rematch. Did you even see the first fight? How does that justify a rematch? Taylor is the next great middleweight champ.

                  No way in hell Taylor beats B-Hop. He Just does not have the tools. Tito vs. Hopkins is not gonna be much differnet from the first fight. I saw the old tito last saturday with the same gameplan and even though it worked with somebody like Mayorga It will fail against Hopkins. In order to beat hopkins you gotta outsmart him and so far i did not see tito outsmart anybody just outpunch them. Cant take away any credit for beating Mayorga though. He proved to be one tough SOB

                    He needs at least 1 more fight before he takes on Bernard.
                    i could not agree with you more. trinidad was lookin absolutely smokin and was more than impressed with his performance.

                    however, i think he should take on dlh first and make sure he's ready for this. personally, i think it would be a no contest situation against dlh, but he's gotta have one more worthy fight before hopkins.

                    hopkins has such a reach, i think that was one of the main advantages he had over dlh. but damn, trinidad looked so damn good out there, makes ya wonder what he's been doin for the last 2 1/2 years, eh?

Don't come with that bull**** that he needs another fight before taking Nard...That the same ppl said of Mayo's fight. Who are the two biggest names in middleweigh right now??? Tito and B-Hop. Let's make this fight happen...The only reason for Tito to comeback from retirement is to make a rematch with B-Hop.
                      i don't think trinidad needs hopkins right now, he's 31 years old and hopkins although 39 years old is still stronger than him, he should forget fighting hopkins! i don't think there would be any difference when it comes to the outcome (still hopkins win by a late ko). he should fight winky wright or dela hoya or even felix sturm. but not hopkins. well, it's up to his promoters on who would they choose for their fighter, word is spreading that he wants hopkins next, we will see if he would pull some magic this time!
