I know they have diff. styles nikka but they both got exposed by the old slick c00n

Like I said you the breh. Half the posts, twice strong my friend. Go and watch tape of Pavlik, and watch tape of Tito.

That's like comparing Brandon Rios/Chris Algeria to BATB, because they both lost to Manny.

In fact those are better comparisons and I literally pulled it out of my ass

Imagine Cottos struggle stamina trying to for 12 rds against Titos elite stamina

Here's an easy way to solve this debate.

Look at Cotto against Mannys power, he got his knot rocked. Look at Tito's power, it's better than Mannys.

Should end it there.

its a shame cotto and tito don't have any common opponents to my knowledge

Common opponents can be misleading though.

Sugar John Molina aka Nasir Molina JR. Handled Provo, BATB went life and death with Provo. I'd bet my next 3 paychecks BATB would Broner Molina

Nah I didn't know the history, but based on the recent article it just sounds like he doesn't want it, but apparently he does.

Regardless, it would be a good match up, and I hope we see it soon.

@LauderdaleBoss I agree with you lara is boring to watch, but in reality dude is a very good boxer with + defense and + power

Lara is good skills wise, but is awful TV wise.


Andrade has options now (Charlo & Canelo) so he can put Lara to the end of the list unless no one who = more money/exposure steps up to face him.

I seen the fight once thought Oscar won

He did

Sorry breh I can't read and remember every damn Article about a boxer who isn't in #SmokeSquad

Just the way this was typed sounds funny

Like I said, they're both very good boxers, I would favor Lara. But they definitely should scrap. No hating there. The fact @Black_Jesus and I agree is like losing your job and finding out your girl is banging your ace from 2nd grade, sometimes shyt happens

Skills wise...yes, it's a great matchup, but many people considered Andrade a "boring" fighter which is why he's trying to face someone who comes to let his hands go & make entertaining matchups now. That's the whole reason Andrade was being avoided before, because regardless of him being an Olympian, who was an undefeated Champion, he was unknown and brought nothing to the table (fans/buzz/entertainment) to casuals, so people easily dismissed him when he constantly called out Canelo.


Now, he's trying to bring the KOs and engage in exciting fights to bring in bigger paydays and Lara cant help him with that....so he's a last option. Not because Andrade is scared of him, bc Andrade was also willing to move up to 160 and face GGG, but because Andrade has "dumbed down for his audience in order to double his dollars"

Tito would've had Cotto down on a knee like Margs did in the corner even before the bell rung....you know Cotto's ego. If he would've had to fight Tito with the WHOLE of PR rooting against him?

Wait til he says has better power then Tito

 

[patscorpio]

I honestly think canelo would beat tito at 154

please expound on this breh..how do you see this going?

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Trinidad is like a more athletic Kelly Pavlik

What the fukk.

That's up there with Skip saying Mayorga was the Duran of this generation.

Never a dull moment in this place.

 

[patscorpio]

i mean tito had his flaws...never met a consistent jab he didnt like, suspect chin, slow starter, got too stationary as he moved up the weights but to compare him to kelly pavlik in any fashion is unparalleled in the years ive been talking boxing online

Yeah tito might beat cotto didn't even consider the stamina aspect and tito too big. Danny would still slump tito tho

Tito ain't half the boxer manny is. Tito was a basic fighter his skills were c level. It was his size and strength and stamina that made him great. The only advantage tito has over cotton is size and stanima. Head to head tito wins but I think Cotto is a much more complete fighter.

Canelo runs him into a counters all night long

 

[King P]

Comparing Tito to Pavlik just confirms you don't know what the fukk you're talking about

But s gonna

Skill wise he wasn't.

Tito was a basic fighter his skills were c level.

Nah.

It was his size and strength and stamina that made him great.

His power was great also.

The only advantage tito has over cotton is size and stanima. Head to head tito wins but I think Cotto is a much more complete fighter.

And power, strength, and confidence....confidence plays a lot into how an opponent approaches a fight. You're severely underestimating Tito's size/strength/power/stamina/stalking ability in relation to Cotto who deals with those things very poorly. Cotto doesn't like to be walked down and doesn't fight "fire with fire" (aka he doesn't like to trade bombs).



Look at the size difference between them:

Look at Cotto's face in these last 2 pics....he's looking like at Tito's right hand like: " what is @#SOG_soldier talkin bout....I wouldn't want this guy in his prime standing next to me"

No matter if it was 147, 154, or 160....Tito would destroy Cotto, because even though Cotto was more skillful all-around, Tito was GREAT at Cotto's weaknesses (Cotto's weaknesses were taking power punches, suspect stamina, smaller of size, average strength, average chin, tendency to get own his bike against a come forward stalker)
