      Id say its accuracy,speed and more durability, he might also be stronger physically.

      I always thought Tito was a bit vulnerable to straight right hands down the pipe and i think if Mosley caught him then.........

      That said, when Tito got up from KD's he annihilated the opponent, so........

          I think if the fight was at 154, Tito would be at an advantage. He's the bigger man than Mosley and at 154 Tito would be able to move Mosley much better.

          At 147 though, I think you're right, Mosley has the advantages.

            Mosley was knocked down by Vernon Forrest but outside of that his chin is about as granite as they get.

            Do you think Tito had considerably more power than Forrest did?

              VF hurt mosley w/ a headbutt.

              its possible that tito has more power than forrest

                That's something I always wondered about. Tito is known as a huge puncher mostly because he was an offensive minded fighter where Forrest was defense first. You can tell Vernon can crack, though. He hurt Mosley more than anyone in his career it seems and even Mayorga said that "that black guy hits real hard"

                  Hell yeah he had more power than Vernon, is this a serious question?

                    i think its a close UD for Mosley. the fight would be as close as Cotto vs Mosley.
