    Nah, I think Molsey would get hit and exchange way more than any of the guys who beat Tito. He doesn't have the skill or mentality to 'school' anybody. It'd come down to whether his chin could stand up in exchanges.

    I give him a 55% chance, but it's basically a pick 'em. Mosley was at least as dumb as Tito, just faster.

    Once he found his rhythm and range he did a pretty fucking good job on Oscar in the first fight, the only person to convincingly beat a prime Oscar actually. He fought smarter than usual, used a lot of movement, and his defense was OK too.

    If Delahoya had fought Tito the way he did Mosley he would have been KTFO!

    If Tito fought Mosley without illegal wraps he's Margarito.

    Negative.

    It goes like this:

    If Mosley fought Tito without illegal substances, he's Mayorga.

    Mosley was a speedy slick slugger. Nothing more. He never knew how to box. He just had ridiculously fast hands. When his speed went, his inability to do anything else was exposed.

    Mosley after 2 rounds would have settled in to slug it out withTito and would have been DESTROYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4 of the 7 who picked Tito are Puerto Rican, leaving only the amusing trio of Sly, LOK and mikE :lol:

    its true

    even his ridiculously fast hands didn't translate ridiculous punching SKILL or power (especially at these weights where he's facing Trinidad)
