    Tito? Are you kidding me? Tito looked great against come forward fighters. When he fought anybody who actually boxed (Hopkins, Wright, Oscar) he looked clueless.

    Hopkins and Wright were at the higher weights. Oscar did give him trouble but Tito had power ad Floyd could not afford to make one mistake otherwise he would have got starched.

    Oscar had power, Mosley had power, Chico had power, Ortiz had power, Cotto had power, Judah had power, Corley had power.

    It would have made no difference what weight he would have fought Winky at. Oscar showed working behind the jab and moving laterally easily negates Tito's power, with or without his hand wraps.
    Floyd's style is all wrong for Tito, and I'd see another shutout loss for him.

    None of the fighters you state had Tito power, at welter he would have beaten those fighters you mention that had power.

    Style wise I agree Floyd would pose a lot of problems but Tito had height and reach advantages and he would have caught Floyd in the end.

    Like he did with Oscar, Camacho and Whitaker? Tito had power, yes, but when you add the fact that Oscar was robbed you have a fighter that looked great against solid b+ fighters, but didn't against the better ones.
    Who did he fight that was a hall of famer? Oscar, Camacho, Hopkins, Whitaker, Wright, Jones Jr. He didn't stop any of them, and there is no reason to suggest he would find Floyd. Nobody else could.

    I think Shane hits pretty damn hard but he was old when he fought mayweather and hey he asked for it and mayweather obliged so no criticism towards him.

    Shane wobbled Floyd good, as did Zab.

    Oscar ran away from the power and gave the fight away, Camacho held on for dear life, and he comprehensively beat an old Whitaker. Wright and Jones came after he retired and Hopkins was at middleweight.

    Oscar schooled him for the first eight rounds. then eased off because he rightly presumed he had a huge margin.
    You're missing the point. Who did he beat at welterweight or light middle? He has only one name, Oscar (I'll ignore an old Camacho and Whitaker), and only the halfwits judging that fight actually believe he won.
