A guy who fought everyone , always showed great heart in overcoming adversity in a fight , and could bang with the best . I'll admit he could sometimes be caught early in a fight but I think calling him limited is unfair .
This is all opinion, but Tito was rather slow footed with average boxing skills and defense. He had a great deal of success because of his power, strength and recuperative abilities not necessarily his boxing skills. When confronted with opponents who he didn’t have a physical advantage over he had problems. Limited may have been a bit harsh, but it’s hard to call him anything better than an average technician.
Okay , I see where you're coming from and there is a lot of truth in what you say......still, I love Tito .

Trinidad Is overrated If you could neutralize his power he was in trouble Im supirsed His loss to B-Hop doesn't saddened you more.. I also have to question his heart as he had to revert to dirty tactics against Reid and Vargas He also retired after every 1 sided loss he had.

De La Hoya UD. Starling was very skilful but a bit one paced, I can see a similar fight to when Curry beat him.

No doubt about it: Oscar de la Hoya. Remember that dramatic knockout against Tomás Molinares, when Starling lost his title?

That's it right there! Starling was a bit nonchalant in a lot of his fights. But you had to like the way he could take a fighter apart when he showed up with his A-game. Took Lloyd Honeyghan apart!
