Tito was too big too strong. I do think Meldrick Taylor could move and outbox him for 12 rounds though. Tito wasn't the pressure fighter Chavez was, so I don't know how effective Tito would be in that regard.
Eventually though, I see Tito just being too big too strong for him. Let's remember, Chavez was fighting at 3 weight classes above his own because there was nobody to fight anymore. He had no business fighting with DLH when he did.
very true up there in the bold. Allthough i do believe that Tito still falls in the preassure fighter category though.

Are you saying Tito had more power than Chavez?
Is this something you don't believe?
In the Ring's 100 greatest punchers of all time JCC is no where to be found. Tito is number 30. :spankme:
:boxing:
As Good as it may be, He hasnt faced any welterweight with as much power as Tito. Tito by KO pre/post/inbetween chavez sr.

I think Trinidad wins by early KO. !40 pounders don't belong in the same ring with Trinidad. I know Taylor won a belt at 147 but it was not his best weight.
pains me to say cause meldrick is my boy, but tito wins this, mainly based on what gambler said. taylor COULD beat tito, if he had the perfect strategy, but if I had to pick, tito all the way...
Tito would win because Taylor would have success and get drawn into a fight, once he gets drawn into a fight as opposed to using his speed and skills to outbox Tito (which would be the correct way for Taylor to approach Tito) it is only a matter of time until Tito starts catching Taylor.
Getting into a shoot out with Tito is generally a losing proposition, only truly great guys might be able to beat Tito in that fashion and Taylor is clearly at least a cut below that.
Taylor may be as fast as they come but tito got this at the later rounds. Referee stops the fight as tito Left hook connects a few seconds before the end of round 12.
Taylor would be lucky to see past the 6th round, it's not to say he wasn't good but Tito is too big and strong for him.
Taylor was never a dominant Welter and that was Tito's best weight and never fought at anything lower. Based on how both competitively fought at Welter, Tito IMO takes him out.
