:rofl

 

Everyone's forgetting chins.

That left hook Tommy took in 7th round against Leonard in their first fight, which imo turned the fight around is also something Tito has in spades. People will say Tommy can box circles around Tito. Well this is true, but he was doing this to Leonard who had been reduced to stalking Hearns and Leonard still caught him clean. The question is Tito stalking Hearns might eventually catch him clean. People might say Hearns has a viscious right hand. But so does Tito. Who's chin is stronger?

We've seen Duran take ferocious punches before. And we saw Duran crumble under that Hearns shot. I think its up in the air between Duran and Tito who will be warring. Who has the better inside punches to drop the other quickly?

I think Leonard and Benitez are where Tito loses. Loses by ko against Hagler. Has a shot against Hearns and Duran and could possibly ko them.

 

Tito's fight vs Duran/Hearns could go either way by KO. Those are tailor made fights, matchmaker's dream fights if you know what I mean.

Now as far as SRL/Hagler, Tito would get KO late in the fight....

However....I must say, that there is not a boxer right now who can handle one of those fours in the list. Everyone would simply lose either by UD or KO....

I am a fan of Pac right now but trust me, Pac would lose vs any of those of four.
Those four mentioned were simply in another level. The same goes for ODLH, he may get by Duran/Hearns by boxing from the outside but SRL would simply kill him.


PS....El Radar would have a field day with Tito/ODLH/Pac......

 

Duran UD Tito
Leonard UD Tito
Hagler TKO 10 Tito
Hearns SD Tito Both men down early.

 

He defeats Duran...

The Hearns fight will be a classic, but trading punches with Trinidad will be a huge mistake.

SRL will most likely win by decision and steal rounds with his flurries before the bell. Very much like the DLH fight.

Hagler could be his toughest match, another classic both guys going at it, but Hagler winning this one.

I say Trinidad goes 2-2

 

A prime Tito would beat Hearns at welterweight.

 

If a prime Tito could be caught and knock down early by someone like Campas, then i dont see why Hearns couldn't knock him out early before Tito touches Hearns chin.

 

Loses to all four. Someone mentioned Curry. Now that would have been a barnburner.

 

Easily couldve win all four and easily couldve lose all four. Leonard was a slick boxer but unlike DLH and other boxers leonard came to fight not to run so he could be hit. Duran to me could be the easiest fight for tito but you never know duran was tough and always came in shape. Hearns had power and was explosive but he always had shaky legs so i could see tito Koing him late after being down himself. I hate this mythical matchups because is just a guess nobody really knows.

The only reason tito didnt fight a prime Quartey was because Bob arum convinced quartey to get out of a fight with tito to fight DLH. Remember DlH was the golden goose of the time and he pick and choose who he fought. He also convinced Terry Norris to not agree to fight tito and fight DLH. Luckily Keith Mullings KO norris if not DLH wouldve had and his hype wouldve gone way high. DLH knew how to pick opponents and he knew norris was shot already but if he wouldve been the one to KO him instead of Mullings uff.

Quartey wouldve been KO by tito easily but i cant blame him he made a lot more money fighting DLH.

:hat

 

All 4 beat his ass.
