    Do you think its safe to say that it wasn't Tito skills that were one dimensional, perhaps it was his strategy?

    Yea I think thats fair. I can remember Shane in his first fights against Winky and Forest, he didnt adapt well either and I know he is not one dimensional.

    In the fight against Bernard, I think Tito was just plain outgunned, and I can forgive him not changing strategy because he probably believed too much in his own power.

    In the Winky fight, I havent got any idea why he didnt adapt. His corner wasnt helping though.

    Its beautiful in its simplicity. He was facing one of the greatest fighters of our generation and he controlled him by disrupting his timing with the most basic punch in boxing. Your not supposed to be able to do that.

    How about Mayorga? Also Trinidad, Lamon Brewster and Tua are pretty easy to figure out.

    I only believe he(Tito)lost to Winky because of his shitty corner. I think that they had no backup plan and when the fight was developing they were not smart enought to come up with one.

    Winky Wright is as one-dimensional as they come.

    I think some of you dont understand the concept of one dimensional.

    So, you're saying there are only two dimenensions. One is fighting on the front foot and the other on the back? You're kidding I hope. So basically, you see no difference in the way Ali fought Frasier vs how he fought Forman vs how he fought Patterson?:?
