    Pretty much. Take away his illegal handwraps and he is not too good. He also had a Glass Jaw.

    he became a one way loouie in the nando fight .. i've watched it and you can see tito just winging power shots after the knock downs ...it's like once vargas went down this thing clicked in titos head that he could just throw power and drop guys eventually .. once they stoped dropping people figured him out

    Do you never tire of this ****? You have 4090 posts and 4000+ must be saying great fighters have glass jaws. Serious question: if any fighter is KO'd at any point in his career, does that mean he has a glass jaw to you?

    :lol: I think he is for the most part. He had to be coming forward for to be effective. Don't get me wrong he was no Mayorga, he had much better technical skills than he is given credit for.

    in the beginning of his career he use all the great tools that a boxer would use but after the campas fight is when he started to become that one dimensional fighter. but no matter what he has accomplished alot in the ring and fans enjoy his boxing

    He did not have great footwork, he didn't have great defence, didn't work the jab enough IMO.

    Tito was a bit one dimensional. He was better in some ways than stereotypical one dimensional power fighters are, (for example he was very patient in setting up KOs and punches, and had great precision punching) but he was completely ineffective unless he was going forward and fighting his fight.

    One dimensional, but very, very good at that one dimension.

    It was a great run while it last and you got to give him credit for being so accurate with his punches & have a good DEFENSE, like it or not, he wasnt hit that many times when he get in exchanges.

    I voted yes. I mean, when the fight was going against him when did you ever see tito change it up or resort to a plan b?



    Thats not a knock on Tito either, because he is a future hall of famer and accomplished more then most boxers would dream of
