tito was a fun fighter to watch and all, i usually root for him, but come on now...his resume and achievements @ 147 surely don't warrant him a place alongside walker smith....and head-to-head?
if tito had problems with the Oscar's jab and right hand (of all punches) and movement and outside skills, what's going to happen against someone like Tommy Hearns? What about Leonard who had great stamina? Head-to-head, I wouldn't even pick the best WW version of Tito over the Curry who annihilated McCory. I'm not sure if I'd pick him over the slick countering and ear-muff defense of Starling.Comment

He didnt destroy Leonard, he outpointed him by a significant margin and had him down twice. But Hearns was also rocked a few times himself, Leonard just couldnt finish him like he did in the first fight.Comment

Hearns was winning up until the 11th round when SRL planted his feet down and started brawling. Awesome fight. I remember that was all we could talk about in school the following Monday morning. I'm talking about the 1st fight.Comment
