    Would be a good fight between two old past prime fighters that would draw good PPV numbers.

    It probably would be the most logical fight for him should he continue. :think

    The problem with Tito vs. Oscar is the weight. So I highly doubt it would happen. They should both retire

    He should just retire. I hate seeing shot fighters carrying on even if it's against opponents they're favoured against. It's sad.

    I am the biggest Tito fan ever , I'll admit my bias, and I know he is pretty shot, but I think tonight Oscar proved he is as shot or even MORE shot. Tonight was a complete destruction , worse than Tito-Hopkins, or even Pavlik-Hopkins.

    In sum, Tito and Oscar should both retire.

    If he continues to fight this should be the fight, it makes the most sense and gives oscar the chance to avenge his first and probably worst defeat.

    I hate it that everytime a guy loses a fight people on here immedietly label them "shot". Apparently you can't just lose a fight anymore without being shot.

    I agree that Oscar should definitely retire but I have a feeling he won't want to end his career with such a bad loss and will probably fight at least once more. Trinidad at MSG would not be a bad idea (at least from a business standpoint).

    I agree with this, but dude come on Oscar is shot, he was shot for awhile now, you can go back to the Mayweather fight to see that he was shot. Only reason it was competitive was because Floyd didnt throw.

    Actually if he continues I think he goes for Chavez Jr first and then Trinidad.

    I think he beats up Jr and its close with Trinidad.

    I ain't positive but I think he continues on because of the money to made.

    Oscar vs Chavez Jr is an interesting fight.

    Really though, I HOPE he stops fighting because he soaks up too much of the public's perception of boxing. It will allow for others to take the spotlight if he leaves.

    Exactly. People are far too quick to call fighters "shot" but at the same time, with Oscar, the evidence is right there in his last few fights. Not to mention that Roach said the same and Oscar apparently agreed.

    Guys but lets keep in mind Trinidad says he won't go below 168, he is pretty lazy so I doubt he wants to go down to 160, even less 154. So at what conceivable weight do you see this fight happening?
