I miss Tito as well. The dude had some serious charisma. I don't think the current crop of fighters would even think of stepping into the ring with Tito. I will agree with anyone though he definitely needed a second trainer in his corner. His father was good but they needed to work on that lateral movement. I think what kept people in front of him was the fact that he was known for touching the canvas early and everyone wanted to be the first to K.O. Tito.

Tito was a BIG welter, even somebody like Spence who's the biggest welter today doesn't compare to him in size. I don't think this era's welters are as destructive as Tito, but I do think a fit Thuman and Spence give him a serious fight

Over time he fell in love with his power and his Dad didn't try to improve aspects of his game. He was great at keeping him focused and hungry but he could have used an extra pair of eyes that would help him with lateral movement. He was tended to move only to his left and load up a lot towards his late 20's and I'm sure had it been worked on earlier he'd perhaps have been even better.
You are right on the charisma. He had that in abundance. People just love the guy. Had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times and he's as nice a guy as you could hope to meet. Really makes you proud of the sport.

We are talking broken bones, severely shortened career, time in hospital type beating.
