    At one point Tito was a pretty good boxer, pretty good movement, nice jab, tight right hand and a NiCe left hook

    What happened though he stared knocking people out and became a plodder

    Either way, IMO Floyd is in a different class and would control him and really school him

    you know.. i thought it was interesting what Roy once said...

    after the Montell rematch when he knocked Montell out in one round and Larry said something like "if it takes doing THIS to get people to watch.. would you fight like that?"

    Roy said something like "come on Larry... you think people gonna give me credit for coming out here with a bad attitude and knocking people out in one round?"

    it was funny cuz Roy legitmatly sounded disapointed in his performance, he felt he cheated the croud beacuse he just knocked out Montell and the didn't get to see a boxing match.

    then Roy said something like "you see what happened to Mike Tyson, you knock people out in 1 round and you forget how to box"

    i think that is very true and i think it applies to Tito..

    once people fall in love with their power they stop being as good..

    Mike did it, Tito did it, Shane even did it... Shane went from more of a volume "power boxing" style to winging one at a time trying to get the KO

    Agreed totally. Tito was never a master or anything, but he could and DID box a little bit.
