    Tito's my favourite fighter ever and despite the fact he's obviously well past-it, I'd love to see him go out on a win.
    The only fight that really makes sense is a rematch with Oscar but I doubt that will happen.
    Don Felix said Tito would come down to 165 for that fight but I doubt that's enough of a concession to tempt Oscar - if he really wanted to i'm sure he could make 160.

    Trinidad should fight DLH. The rematch that took to long to happen but it will probably be exciting because both are done.

    Maybe Pavlik. Tito needs to stay away from any black slick boxers as does Oscar for their last showing. They need a come forward fighter. For both guys their last fight is just exhibition anyway. They get some slick guy in there, even old Hopkins, and they're gonna loose badly. Maybe Margarito, or in Tito's case, Mayorga 2..

    It took a long time for old ass Leonard to rematch old ass Hearns as well.

    Yeah but Hearns and Leonard were both champions at 168 when they fought in 1989, and Hearns later won the light heavyweight title from an undefeated Virgil Hill who had 10 title defenses. You think Tito or Oscar are going to beat someone like Dawson if Dawson had another 8 title defenses??

    I hope they do not make this fight. They had all sorts of time to make this rematch when it counted, and Oscar did not have the guts to do it.

    Umm sure but who would it be against? Does he want to take a safe opponent and go out a winner or does he want to take a risk and have 1 more big payday? I think I just answered my own question.

    If the show is good than why not? I don't mind seeing them fight again. Fighters will get $$$ and say farewell in entertaining style to the fans.

    My thoughts..... Tito shouldn't fight again, especially not at anything above middleweight.


    I don't even want to see Tito vs Oscar II, unless its a draw, I don't want to see either of them lose again.
