The 99 version against Tito? Pac can win... Just cuz Tito was struggling to make weight, was weakening himself, and that year it was at his worst as a WW. Even though he was pretty damn good still he wasn't at his best. That Tito Pac will have a good chance of beating.
Give me a 93-97 version where Tito is not struggling to make weight, and haven't felt in love with his power yet, when he had a very good jab, and went to the body, and showed good boxing skills. Then it will be very ugly for Pac.Comment

I considered the weight issue with Tito and which year of his WW run should be considered his peak at the weight, but just went with the version popularly associated with Trinidad at WW, the one who beat Whitaker and De La Hoya. I also see it that, in a hypothetical alternate-reality era where both these guys were around at the same time, their stars would each have to be built significantly for this fight to happen, which places Tito at the back end of his WW spell.The 99 version against Tito?

Really, though, any WW version of Tito is applicable. Anyone who posts should just state it in their breakdown if they're thinking of Tito at a specific time of his WW reign.Comment
