Yes, there's a big difference between being dropped and hurt, and being knocked down. Hopkins was the only man who ever really laid the hurt on Tito, and there's no shame in that.

Trinidad's never been away by the sound of things. Inactivity and age affect stamina. Mayorga is the man doing the 12-rounders, the 10-rounders, and doing them easily. He'll wear down Trinidad and come through in the later rounds.

Tito hasn't been retired for 10 years though has he, and let's face it, he's a notch or two above Mayorga, Tito is a legend, Mayorga is merely a footnote.

Trinidads stamina was legendary... even if he loses a touch with age and inactivity he will still be much better than most fighters...
I cannot see it lasting that long though....

tito knocked out people out who have never been knocked out before
Joppy, Vargas, Campas,

Shame this fight is so far off. Christ, Trinidad will be even older by the time it comes round.

The odds makers think Tito wins this, but Mayorga has a great chance.
His chin is excellent: Forrest hit him with probably the hardest punch he's ever thrown, and he didn't blink. And Forrest can punch pretty hard, just ask Shane Mosley.
Trinidad's been living the easy life for a few years now, and he's planning to get straight back in the ring with a hard hitting monster like Mayorga?
Sounds like a bad plan to me: Mayorga KO 5.

it is a long time off.....

You have to remember the way Mayorga lives, smoking/drinking, it may be his wheels that fall off

I can see there's a lot of Trinidad fans on this forum.

i am a Tito fan but I like to think that doesnt effect the way I see the fight going

As don king would say "Tito" "Tito"" Tito"" Tito"" Tito" "Tito" "Tito"

I would never doubt your boxing judgement, knockout. My own, yes. I called Carlos Wilfredo Vilches well wrong for example. Thought he would fold early against Hatton. But he lived up to the cute, tough and reckless Argie tradition.
How good does it make Sharmba Mitchell look?

and vincent would beat Magee

I thought Delahoya would Ko mosley in there 2nd fight

I have said from day one that Mayorga is absolute rubbish and he is I was amazed how many people jumped on his bandwagon...

The only way I see Tito losing is if the lay off has effected him badly and his prep work is poor.

I was gonna give my reasons for Tito winning, but I'd just be repeating what people have allready said, so I'll just give you my prediction;

Trinidad KO5 Mayorga

He strong, he's tough, thats about it. Bit like Billy Backus back in the 70's, although Backus was better than Mayorga.

Boxing wise, I've seen an elephant with more Boxing skill than Mayorga.

That gives me an idea. Where exactly did you see this boxing elephant?

For me Mayorga has one of the worst defences in world boxing, he can be so easy to hit it's untrue. I can't wait to see what happens when Tito catches him flush. I also have doubts about how hard he'll hit at middle, i know Trinidad's been down before (only once or twice!!) but i can't see Mayorga keeping him there.

Trinidad by stoppage if he's anything resembling the fighter he used to be.

HH mate you keep saying this but I don't think too many people thought Mayorga could beat every guy out there last year.

A lot of us thought he'd beat Spinks because we didn't think Spinks was all that special, not because we thought Mayorga was great.

I picked Spinks to beat Mayorga, simply because Spinks is a better fighter than him.

Trinidad, even an inactive and faded version is much better than Mayorga.

Trinidad by wide points decision with Mayorga's face looking a mess at the end.

It isnt directed at this forum in general mate but from 4 different boards I was browsing the general consensus at the time seemed to be that Mayorga was going onto big things which really surprised me...

He is a really limited fighter and extremely one dimensional I said the same about Pacquaio as well...

Hasim Rahman blasted out Rob Calloway in two rounds yesterday. He's the WBA #1, which means it will probably be Rahman - Ruiz 2 on the undercard on October 2nd. Hope it's as thrilling and dramatic as the first fight.

the general forum will go crazy when they hear that result, a few people will probably top themselve
