If Tito didn't have those extensive injuries , he'd still be athletic and explosive for sure

Yeah, but if you could stuff his takedown, he was pretty ineffective on his feet. Couture and Liddell figured that out.

I wish Tito had fought Tank back when they were both still competitive. They used to train together, I think, but they had a falling out. It would have been a real grudge match.

This. 

Tito used to post on the UnderGround (mixedmartialarts.com or whatever - It's changed at least 3 times over the years) with the screen-name of FUTA1.  (FuckYouTankAbbot!). 

Honestly, I really don't think Tito was ever that great or skilled of a fighter, he was successful because he barely fit into the 205's so he could outmuscle most other guys in that class from his era and he was also great at selling a fight -- some people loved him and others just hated him.  His game was a little too close to pro-wrestling for my taste but he made all the pre-fight shit entertaining.

Here's the famous press conference (it makes me laugh every time I see it) where he totally and legitimately got under Ken Shamrock's skin:

He destroyed Shamrock in that fight. Embarrassed him, really.
