Tito's a very good fighter but Hearns would have KO'd him. He knew how to jump on a guy and Tito's chin was there to be hit.
Lol... You mention tito's chin ..

What about hearn's

it took a long hard time to actually hurt tito.. And he was still up at nine..

hearns however didnt have a terrible chin..But it wasnt strong..
mate,

I didn't say Tito had a bad chin. I said "his chin is there to be hit" as shown by his deckings against lesser lights such as Anthony Stephens, Yori Boy Campas, Oba Carr and Kevin Lueshing - none of whom were in Hearns class in terms of power punching.

I actually think Tito had a decent chin once he got over Welter.

However, as a welter, Tito got caught often and early and I don't think there'd be any getting up for him against Hearns, who started fast and was especially dangerous against big hitters.

A case of styles make fights and this one has short night for Hearns all over it.
