I love watching Casa, because he is a warrior, but i think he is overrated. He should of lost to Nate Campbell. He did lose to Corrales 2nd time, and he would of lost the 3rd fight imo, if Corrales was not struggling with weight.

However i believe he beat Castillo, and he was very unlucky against Freitas, because of a bull**** KD call.

He did get beat by Marquez too. Casamayor was technically excellent, but he has the worst game plans off all time. He nearly always gets out of his game plan.

Fair do's, cant argue about the gameplans, the one against JMM was a shocker, even tho he was old he still could have won that fight imo.

Yep........he was Boxing excellent untill that point. As you say he was old by then though.

I think he is warrior i do. Look at his slick skills, and he was excellent, but one thing that made me a fan was his ability to mix it. I think that was probably his downfall to though, because whilst he did not have a glass chin, he could be hurt regularly.

If it's about the two mentioned, I think Chavez >>> Tito. But that's just me.

People underrate Chavez like crazy, thinking he is just a face first brawler... so how on earth he never got cut in his early days? how he landed such a significant percentage of his punches? How did he manage to impose his will on every fighter he faced in his prime except for Sweet Pea?

On the other hand I believe Tito is overrated by many, possibly because of his punching power. I don't like fighters without a plan b, and Tito is one of the clearest examples. I can only imagine how good he could have been with a different trainer.
