Now that we are on the subject, I remember a lot of complaining from the Tito camp about not getting a rematch against Hopkins, but I don't recall what Trinidad had to say about a rematch against de La Hoya, at that time. Anyone?
From what i remember, Tito was pushing for a rematch and Oscar, as usual, wanted conditions to be set. From what I remember, Oscar wanted the majority of the money (as usual) and wanted Tito to fight at a catch weight (151). I believe Tito wanted to fight at 154. I could be mistaken, but I know Tito did not back down from anyone.
