Congratulations to Oscar. Now let's keep things in PERSPECTIVE!!!!!

Oscar had the Tito fight won. He gave it away. I'm a huge Tito fan. Oscar should have beat him then, but lets not overhype Oscar because he beat Mayorga. Oscar is older and only looked as good because Mayorga is stationary with limited boxing skills. Tito and Oscar are both older, both have chins, both can hit. Oscar can still outbox Tito, but don't have the mobility he used to. This fight will answer if Oscar can handle Tito's power. I still say Oscar is clearly the better boxer, but last time he tasted Tito's power, he ran. Oscar don't have the "D" that Winky or BHOP does. Tito hits sharper, and more accurate, and counters alot better than Mayorga. I'm not saying that Oscar would lose, but if he thinks he can walk through Tito, he will get KOd. Oscar could win an easy UD, but if he wants revenge, and is willing to step into the fire, Oscar will get hurt.

CC for some very objective comments. There's two types of people on this forum.... those who can give credit where credit is due..... and those who have their heads so far up DLH's a$$ they'll probably have to be surgically removed.

CC,good nay excellent points bro. I must say,I was over excited when Oscar beat Mayorga but now,we must remember that Oscar did choose someone he was confident he could beat,it was the manner of the victory that was astonishing nonethless it should not be used as a measuring stick for a future fight with Tito or Floyd and you are also ABSOLUTELY 100% correct,if Oscar tried to go toe to toe with Tito,I'm sorry but he would get koed,and I am saying this as a big fan of both.

It's tito that has ducked ODLH since that fight....

Where do you get your info? It's always been clear to me how those who are most ignorant about boxing are the ones who talk the most sh*t. The easiest thing for ignoramuses such as yourself to claim is that "So-and-so ducked so-and-so." It's unsubstantiated, ignorant, and just plain stupid. If you can't argue with substantiated facts, shut the f*ck up.

I thought Mosley won. As it was a case of Oscar throwing a lot of shots and missing and Mosley would dodge those shots so close you thought they landed thanks to Lampley screaming! It was a poetry in motion fight and it was a hard fight to score and a harder fight to follow. It's like a close fight that goes either way. Watching that fight with and without sound you see it differently each time

True. Seeing it live...that was different too.

In the end...it was a good fight & close...but I thought that Oscar won it & so did Mosley.

Gotta admit it. Oscar's performance impressed me last night. I was hoping for a Mayorga KO, but it wasn't to be. I predicted an Oscar win by UD, by the way.

But before we start nominating Oscar for President, let's keep some perspective. I think it's pretty funny how boxing fans see things the way they WANT to see them. When Tito beat Mayorga, it's because:

1. Mayorga fought a stupid fight.
2. Mayorga is not a true 160-pounder.
3. Tito got lucky.
4. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But now Oscar beats Mayorga, and he's the best fighter in the history of boxing. Stop the presses!! Oscar for sainthood!!

Well, I hate to piss the De la Hoya fans off (again), but.....
Does anyone else see a pattern here? Tito destroys a fighter.... Oscar comes by later and cleans up the scraps. Happened with Vargas, happened with Campas, happened with Mayorga. Oh, I forgot.... Tito KO'd Vargas in 12, but DLH did it in 11. Tito KO'd Mayorga in 8, but DLH did it in 6. That means Oscar must be better, huh?

You know what? Forget about PBF being Oscar's next opponent. I've got a better candidate. How about......... Joppy?!? Or Oba Carr? How about David Reid?

Hey, I know Oscar's fans won't like this, but Oscar can beat PFB and ride off into the sunset on his white horse. But there's one thing he'll never get off his record and will never get payback for:

His loss to Tito in the biggest fight of his life, not in Puerto Rico where he could blame partisan judges, but in Las Vegas, close to his own backyard and in front of thousand of screaming, adoring fans. That thorn will always be sticking into his side. (Heh, heh).

Trinidad never took rematches against fighter who beat him, didn't even pursue it. He is willing to come out of retirement go down to 154 or catch weight for peanuts, to beat a fighter he dominated but won't fight oscar for millions and to exonerate his biggest win from controversy. At least oscar rematched mosley whether u believe he won or lost and also has been calling out trinidad for years. whenever tito loses and is humiliated in a fight he wants no part of that fighter. Objective minds know Oscar won the trinidad fight only eggheads will say Tito won.

by the way Oscar has already fought oba carr, and ppl recognize oscar as a better fighter than tito, not because oscar fought tito's leftovers but because he dominated and embarrased tito, because isn't one-dimensional like tito, and because he never got a one-sided beating like tito (also not once but twice)

I was wondering when you were going to crawl out from under the rock you usually hide under and start spewing your anti-Tito bullsh*t. You've proven time and again to be a serious Oscar "nut hugger." Which is why nothing you say I take seriously. I've sparred with you over Tito-DLH in the past and have no wish to do so again. You want to talk about humiliation? How about Oscar banging the canvas in mock anger (it was actually relief) after a glancing liver shot by Hopkins? At least Tito fought through until the end, TKO'd by the bigger man. And don't forget, Tito has a LEGITIMATE victory at 160 on his record, his KO of Joppy. Not a gift-wrapped present from the judges like Oscar got over Sturm.

Face some facts, dude:

1. The record shows a VICTORY of Tito over Oscar. And it was in Las Vegas, Oscar's backyard. I guess the judges didn't take too kindly to Oscar's running like the bitch from hell. To Oscar's ever-lasting dissapointment, he'll have that memory the rest of his life.

2. Oscar, unlike Tito, has ALWAYS hand-picked his opponents. He fought an over-the-hill Chavez. He fought a shot Vargas. He fought a shot Mayorga.

3. Oscar, unlike Tito, cherishes his Golden Boy image much too much. Tito just enjoyed fighting. Love him or hate him, he always came to fight whoever they put in front of him. Oscar is all about legacy. Tito was all about the sheer joy of fighting.

So get off my case chami-boy.

If tito loves to fight and the thrill of it, why is he retired again?? why does he after getting beaten?
