Titus was a decent college caliber wrestler, not being light on his feet wouldn't mean shit when he grabs a hold of someone at an aggressive juiced to the gills 250lbs and I'm pretty sure being a shady fucker who fought all the time he would have basic punching skills. Some one with a year of wrestling and basic boxing would be fine against just about anybody, especially out in the streets.
BTW that's a Bruce Lee quote reference for those who think I just made some shit up, and over at Team Quest this is also believed to be the best base to have fyi.
Look at the number of not so well rounded wrestler that do well in MMA, people say Titus would get killed cause he's a bb and they just want to hate. IMO Titus would ass rape the manicure giving Melvin Anthony who probrably thinks he's hard cause he's black.
All that said who knows he might be all talk, but I think I would give the guy the benefit of the doubt against average joes for sure.
