Tito's fall went to test waters out of his league(160) and even so he did pretty good.

Tommy is one of the great but at WW so was TITO.



ANd Tell me how would Tommy would have done against a prime ODLH?



Tommy was not just any welterweight...his power at WW was damn freightning...not 147lb man should be able to hit that hard....his speed was also way above the average welterweights....plus even though he is known for power Tommy was a master boxer....I just don't see Tito beating him....
nither I but as easy people here call it I don't believe

But you also have to remember that Tito at WW was of the same pedigree (despite what one of the posters said). He, like Hearns, was a monster at that weight. His punching power at the time was at the very least comparable to Hearns. Not to mention he never lossed a fight at WW so it is hard to go against him. The only man to give him a close fight fought in a way that Hearns would never fight so we can't use that against Tito.

Yes, Hearns would most likely beat Tito. Everything that Tito had, Hearns had more of it. He was bigger and even more powerfull. But anybody that sais Hearns would just blow through Trinidad like a knife through hot butter is just fooling themselves. Tito would make it a fight all through to the end. And if there is one thing that we can all agree on is that Tito had much better stamina than Hearns, which means the further it went, the more likely Tito would win.

As I say about any fighter. If you plan on beating Tito. You better bring your A game and you better stick to it for as long as the fight lasts. One slip up and he will make you pay.
That's all I'm trying to say but this guys used the correct words
Hearns and "tito" weren't in the same league. And from what I can see you agree.

I'd rather watch tito - Benitez. Watch tito hit air all night long.
