I don't understand why people don't think Tito can't hang with Pavlik, Tito even at Light Heavyweight took Jones shots very well, and yes he was dropped twice but that was more to do with the speed of punches. Something Pavlik has not got, Tito is still a big puncher and could still knock Pavlik's block off if he gets Pavlik in trouble like Taylor did. Tito i think looked sharp and the problem was when he fought Jones is that he couldn't hurt Jones, if he fought Pavlik and caught Pavlik flush he would for 100 percent hurt Pavlik and drop him IMO. Pavlik does not carry 1 punch KO power he wears you down with barrage of punches, plus Pavlik has never faced anyone who has Tito's power. Miranda is the biggest puncher Pavlik fought but his punching technique was very sloppy and his punches had no snap on them where as Tito has good power and is very sharp with his punches to the body and head. It wouldn't surprise me if Tito stopped Pavlik in a toe to toe war.
