Think Tito would lose because he be fighting a elite boxer he got schooled by Oscar but Oscar got robbed badly. Then with Bernard and Write he lost ever round he can not deal with boxer with speed has no plan be and can be exposed by the top boxers with speed.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Off topic, but Oba Carr was a really good fighter who happened to come along at the wrong time. He fought Quartey, Oscar and Tito and came up short vs all three, but gave all three a good fight in losing. I remember Tito beating him the most handily of the 3. I didn't appreciate the 90's enough, but looking back it was much tougher back then. Oba Carr would easily be a titlist these days, if not a unified champ.
This is a good topic for a thread, if it hasn't been done before. What fighters came along at the wrong time. Which fighters were overshadowed by even greater fighters who stole their thunder during their careers. These guys tend to hover just below the elite level, because they have the misfortune to meet the greatest of their generation. Yes, Oba Carr facing Trinidad, De La Hoya, and Quartey (and losing to them) definitely puts him in that category.
Carr was a solid fighter but not exactly a defensive boxer. I'm in the minority as I think he actually topped out where he belonged. He lost to some of the best but truth is he also got a couple of fortunate calls with Bramble and Coley. Manny did wonders for the kid but he could be sucked into slugfests with pure boxers and sluggers alike and be frontal. After the Trinidad loss he got an even bigger chip on his shoulders buddying up with Tyson and King
