    Yeah a younger version of Lara would present some stylistic problems but he beats them all comfortably

      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

          I'd pick Tito to beat them all. Some of them badly.

            I think Tito was so devastating at mid-range that if anyone lingered there even just a few seconds too late they'd get cracked by Tito and dudes tended to stay hit when Tito got them. Most fighters tried to stay away but Tito would suffocate them with his blend of subtle pressure and mental pressure. He had tremendous fighting spirit.

            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.

                I think Tito would permanently injure Margarito. That wouldn't even be a contest and Margarito's durability would mean it's a sustained beating.

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

                  More specifically someone that could jab and move. Tito was a monster, but he wasn't without his flaws. I would certainly see him beating everyone except maybe Thurman and Crawford simply because they have the tools to exploit Tito's weaknesses. The problem they would have would be overcoming the height and reach disadvantage.

                    I'd probably favor Trinidad but to act as if Spence, Crawford, Thurman or pre-GGG Brook would be easy fights is just silly.

                      Errol Spence KOes him
                      Terence Crawford boxes circles around him
                      Shawn Porter KOes him
                      Amir Khan outboxes him
                      Danny Garcia would give him a close fight
