I think Tito would be better and a rematch and Bhop would be a little slower now but its still not enough. Bhop will either win a ud or ko tito in the late rounds.

I was surprised to see someone say that Bernard was in a worse mental state than Trinidad was in their first fight. I had never heard that before. I don't think it's true, though. Trinidad has always been a little bit too passionate, and the habit had just caught up with him in the Hopkins fight. Yunno, Hopkins has a way of just pushing things away and focusing on what was at hand, and Trinidad hasn't really been able to, at least not nearly as well.
Look, by rights I should pick Hopkins, and he will be a solid favorite, as he should be. But he has to get old sometime (I know we've been saying that for years) and he may grow complacent at some point. If he gets his twentieth defense then there's really nothing left for him to chase. That's never been true before. Think about it. In the Trinidad fight he was motivated by the fact that he was the underdog, in spite of a fairly long reign and general concensus that he had been the best middleweight before Trinidad moved up. After that he was hoping for a big payday with De la Hoya, and trying to prove that he could be his own man. He'll have nothing left to prove, no goal to chase, and no need for a bigger bank account. Hear what I'm saying? Cuz I'm not saying it's likely. Just that it's not impossible.

nard is just to good..and the tito fighting out there will be a inshape with nothing on his head(he was in shelters after 9/11 for first fight and he saids cuz of it he didnt train much before fight) so it will be great....i say hopkins takes him apart again and ko's him earlier...lets hope hopkins doesnt get old...lso tito is still the same..so if hopkins reviews his tape from first fight this rematch will end the same and sooner unless tito learn to box more or has a PLAN this time around
