Hopkins broke Tito mentally and then physically using accurate Counterpunching, defense and footwork.

Hopkins win against Oscar was a decent win. In my opinion Oscar totally didn't belong at middleweight, Sturm proved that. Even though Oscar didn't belong there he was still a multiple world champion and is a skilled fighter.

P4P i favor Hopkins over both Trinidad and De La Hoya.

Hopkins would break tito down very similar to what he did.

Hopkins defense, footwork and counterpunching would always be too much for tito trinidad.

As for DLH, Oscar was only competitive early against hopkins which was because Hopkins wasn't really doing much, plus people don't seem to remember that Hopkins was not in his prime. The Hopkins that fought Tito would of dominated Oscar.

P4P He is simple a better boxer. Oscars fake landing flurries wouldn't win him the fight, Hopkins more accurate more effective punches would win him the fight.

i agree completly, especially with this
