Tito is naturally bigger than both Shane and Oscar--this "out of his weight class" thing is silly. He lost 12 straight rounds to Winky at 154--the same weight at which Mosley (in the first fight, at least; I think in both) beat Oscar far more convincingly than Tito did.Originally Posted by The Rookie Fan
If any of these three gets an excuse for losses at 154, it's Shane. He's way smaller than those guys.
Well, they're just far more multi-dimensional fighters. If you want specifics: (1) Mosley beat Oscar clearly in their first fight. Tito was not able to do that. (2) Oscar beat Tito. I don't see a draw there. And I see what could have been yet another total domination of Tito (a la Winky) if Oscar had just kept up what he had done the rest of the fight. There was no reason to worry at that point--Tito hadn't landed anything scary and wasn't going to. Oscar could easily have won that fight 118-110.Originally Posted by The Rookie Fan
That's silly. Obviously they wouldn't have fought the same way against Tito that they did against each other. We don't even have to speculate--we have evidence (Oscar vs. Tito).Originally Posted by The Rookie Fan
Why except Winky? That fight was especially telling re Tito. But I disagree anyway.Originally Posted by The Rookie Fan
Common opponents:
Shane/Tito - Oscar, Winky, Vargas. Let's forget about Vargas. Obviously Shane handled him easier, but Vargas was well beyond shot at that point. But as to the other two, Shane looked better against BOTH of them.
Oscar/Tito - B-Hop, Vargas. We can discount Vargas again since Tito had already broken him (some say) and he was tremendously juiced on steroids against Oscar. W/r/t B-hop, yes he finished Oscar earlier than he did Tito, but up until that point Oscar was at least competitive. Tito, as against Wright, was utterly dominated and probably didn't win a single round. More evidence that, against the truly great, Tito appears as a lower-tier, and entirely one-dimensional, fighter. Shane and Oscar don't.
Given that Mosley's NEVER BEEN KNOCKED OUT HIS ENTIRE CAREER, that seems like an odd pick. The safe bet is Mosley UD.Originally Posted by The Rookie Fan
