Great fighters with bad footwork.

[Master]

Tito developed bad feet when he locked on to his power. Every time he was dropped was because of it and later he started to plod like George Chuvalo. Rinse and repeat.

His bad feet/balance led to many flash knockdowns early in his career (all of which led to knockouts to the perpetrators). Later on, he corrected that and you didn't see nearly the number of knockdowns.

Tito did still have bambi legs but you are right if he was put down it was by better fighters.
