Swap ODLH's game plans from the Tito and Mosley fights...

I don't see DLH stopping Tito, even if he goes all out early on. Tito would go down, be hurt, but eventually he would out-gut DLH and drop him for good, possibly after 7 or 8 rounds.

DLH-Mosley turns out like their second fight.

DLH thought he would overpower the smaller Mosley and played into his hands the first fight. Had he chosen to move and jab like he did in the second fight, it's an easy win (though of course Shane would still make him work for it...).

 

Tito was a generally slow starter and I certainly agree that Hoya could have troubled him early. Two things though. Although Tito could be stunned and knocked down, he seemed to have great recuperative power. And I think Hoya was a good puncher but not the kind of guy who could spark out Tito. I think it would take a "Leonard like" finisher to get Tito out of there (and Hoya wasn't). One more thing, Hoya was brave no doubt, but there are a couple instances in his career where he didn't completely sell out: 1.) in the late rounds against Tito (he just ran) 2.) in the late rounds against Floyd. He let off the gas even though he had a good gameplan. The topic is asking us to presume a certain gameplan, but I just don't think Hoya had the Medicine Ball sized cojones to go for it (and to his credit he was too smart).
I think Tito gets sold a little short a 147. Above 147, his footwork became even more ponderous. A problem at 147 became a huge problem as he got heavier.
