Legend Vs Legend- Should there be a second De La Hoya vs Trinidad fight

Nope, when did felix trinidad or delahoya become a legend?

Had these legends come along when duran leonard or hearns was around youd have never heard of em. But anyway oscar beat up on trindad all night he won but he lost, it was a disgrace the way he ran for the last 3, he still won but it was gay the way he fiinished I thought had he let his hands go around 6-7 he could have stopped tito. tito hits real hard has excellent power but his defense and his inability to be ble to adapt to a boxer limites him as a great, case in point duran had close to titos power but could also outbox you tito is 1 dimensional

Avenge your losses/Solidify your wins against rivals. I think Sugar ray stated that some time ago. He did it against Duran and Tommy. I think Oscar-Tito II would create a more ecstatic atmosphere that the first one. Also his return bout with Mosley, though I don't think this will happen now that they are business associates.

I have no interest in seeing Tito fight again. He's clearly past his prime--he was thoroughly embarrassed against Winky--and has no chance of winning this fight. He needs to stay retired this time, like he should have last time. And to the poster that suggested a few tune-ups for Tito first--there's no time for that if we're really talking about Oscar's last fight. In September.

Good point about the tune ups,I forgot about that but I still think this fight would be exciting and I don't see De La Hoya embaressing Tito like Winky did.

But do you think that Tito has a legitimate shot at actually winning this fight? Or: which fight do you think would be closer/more competitive-- ODH v. PBF or ODH v. Tito. I gotta think the ODH/PBF fight is closer--though I don't really see ODH winning, so that's a consideration for him too.

most boxing fans know de la hoya won that fight anyway. if i was oscar i'd much rather chase another fight with mosley or hopkins to avenge one of those defeats. but i personally dont think he could win any of those fights.

I think he might be able to take mosely now, but they've said it's never going to happen.

Everyone knew Oscar won that fight hands down, but the way he behaved was kind of shameful. He wasn't even boxing, he was actually running around away from Trinidad. I understand that he won the fight up to the righth by a huge majority (or at least he should have) but damn, he basically cheated the fans who paid money for around 33% of the fight. I can understand taking a round or two off, but four-five rounds? It's just kind of ridiculous. If you didn't want to fight or at least box then he shouldn't have taken the fight. Even Roy Jones Jr in RJJ vs Tarver III didn't run, he didn't do much all fight, but he never ran. With all that said, I definitely want to see a rematch between Tito & ODLH. I think if Oscar is serious, he can outbox Trinidad, and possibly KO him late.
