The only thing i have to add in argument for Tito is that the Oscar he fought against that night would have a MUCH better chance of beating Floyd Mayweather.
Not only that, but Floyd has had to use his body strength and/ or pressure in alot recent fights wherever the other guy is a puncher/ aggressive (Judah, Mosley, Hatton etc).
But against a bull like Baldomir Mayweather had to stay away. Against Oscar, he had to be careful (and wait for Oscar to tire) too.
Against Tito, again, physical contact would be kept to a minimum, not because Tito is physical but because Mayweather ain't strong enough to do what he has been doin lately with regards to his inside game (which has been a big part of his game for years). So Mayweather would wind up looking quite negative for the whole duration of the fight.
Lets not forget that Tito in his 147 prime was a puncher for 12 whole rounds (He didn't slow down against Oscar).
With that in mind, Mayweather could definitely do a better job than Oscar on the 'D' but on the 'A' im not so sure. I just get the feeling that with Tito, it is possible that we could have a fighter that is just:
* Too Big
* Too Strong
* Too Fit
* Too Tough
* Punches Too Hard
* A Bridge Too Far
It's funny, I get the feeling that if these guys were at 147 at the same time, neither of em would go near each other due to the associated risks each fighter carries (that we have been debating since 2007) unless one of 'em was past their prime (an all to common occurrence in a fighters career these days).
Not really a conclusive post but just redefining the dynamic of the argument![]()
