Regardless of this post coming after him being dusted by Sheeraz, I never saw similarities of him and Tito. Tito would jump up to the corner and pound his chest when he dropped an opponent. He'd have a huge smile on his face. He'd yell out his own name at times during the fighter introductions with the announcer. His aura was something else. He also wasn't thug wannabie like Edgar and making a fool of himself at press conferences.
Though the key difference is the fighting style and how difficult it would ever be to mimic again. Tito was highly aggressive and confident in his power. He knew it was only a matter of time that he connect and you'd go down, so he wasn't afraid to get hit himself or be knocked down. I think he was dropped like a total of 11 times in the course of his career, only to get up on most of those occasions and knock the opponent out. Only Hopkins who KO'd him and Jones who dropped him and he lost the UD were the differences.
For someone to fight like Tito in a world where there is too much money on the line and reputation where you become a meme within hours, it's difficult to see a fighter want to charge at his opponents with almost reckless abandon to land his debilitating power, even if it meant getting hurt in the process.
