Any new news on trinidad?

[TitoFan]

plain and simple Trindad can make 160 he just might need more time between fights to do it, and if by some chance that he can't, well he has no business being in the ring as a fighter, cause he has no chance at 168 or anywhere else above that, IMO, Kessler, Miranda (at 16, Taylor, Pavlik, Bute, Calzaghe, Jones (again), Hopkins (again), will all beat Trinidad

I agree that Trinidad has no business fighting above 160. Even at that weight, his record was a mediocre 3-2 (wins against Joppy, Cherifi, Mayorga.... losses to Hopkins and Winky). Going to 170 to fight Jones Jr. was ridiculous. He gave it his best shot and actually looked sharp in the beginning, but it became painfully obvious early on that he was never going to hurt Jones Jr.

I think he's let too much time pass between fights. Hell, he's had 5 fights in the past 7 years since losing to Hopkins. I partly blame his father for handling his son's career poorly at this stage. Tito should've dropped him a long time ago.

Watch the old tapes that is the great Tito, he will never be that again, any further ring ventures are to fill his pockets only

You fail to understand what it is that makes fighters continue to fight beyond their glory years. (See another thread I started on the subject). I'm sure a few million in the ol' bank account doesn't hurt, but it involves more than that.

Really I know exactly why fighters want to continue, there head and heart says they can still win, they have spent all their lives training and working for something, they get almost Institutionalised, but in reality their bodies are no longer up for the task and 9 out of 10 comebacks end in defeat.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing ODLH vs Tito 2, both men are older and slower. So i think we would see more toe to toe action than there first meeting and plus it would be a major event.

You and me both. In reality, Trinidad-De la Hoya II would be the ONLY fight I'd like Tito to fight, and preferably at 160.

I can name several reasons why fighters keep on past their prime:

a. they love to fight
b. they think they still can
c. they're hooked on the cheering and the fan worship
d. they can't stand some young gun stealing their thunder
e. (a few extra million don't hurt either)
