    the guy got koed at middleweight 1 time by a huge , HOF middleweight and now he has a questionable chin. LMAO
    I agree, I think Tito's chin is very underrated by some.

    If you look at the times Tito was knocked down, it was mostly because of bad balance, not the fact that he got hit with something he couldn't handle.

      i know. it was more of like a , "i'm done. i'm tired. i have nothing left type ko."

      it's not like he got sparked and was out.



      i never understood all these guys talk about tito has a questionable chin.

      they see on boxrec how tito got knocked down by lesser fighters maybe?

      because i have tito's entire career on dvd (minus hopkins , jones , winky fights. )

      tito was rarely hurt. yes he was knocked down but whenever he got knocked down he'd get back up and you know the other guy was in for a whoopin'.

        it's because of the knock downs people say that.

        people need to realize you can be knocked down without getting hurt and also get hurt without being knocked down.

        knock downs doesn't mean you have a bad chin. it was more tito's stance.

        he stands very wide. that's why he got knocked down usually early in the fight before he gets warmed up. i think when he gets warmed up it's not an issue.

          Prime Mosley kicks his ass. Cove forward fighters do not beat Mosley.

            I say it again a big defensive boxer can have a chance at Tito. Mosley is neither. Mosley is an offensive fighter and he is not a boxer. Mosley is a flurrier (don't know if that term even exist).

            He flicks jab flicks jab bounces in out in out flicks jab then jumps in and flurries and then jumps back out. Or very recently he adopted the jump in flurry then hold.

            BTW to answer earlier post. Tito is a most definitely a bigger puncher than Vernon and Tito is a huge WW.

              He always had shaky legs for the first few rounds.

                  Vernon beat mosley with text book skills and slickness that Tito has nothing of.

                    Look at Tito's early prime years and you'll see he has an excellent jab. Nothing about Tito's losses at MW and above can be extrapolated into a reason on why Mosley would win.
