Would a YOUNGER Ken Shamrock have beaten Tito Ortiz?

[Intermission]

I dont think so.

I dont think he had an answer for Tito's wrestling, it is what it is.

Prime Ken would outpower him easily. Tank had no issues with Tito in the camps and Severn swallowed Tank.

Practice?

lol

Did you somehow forget Ken choked out Dan Severn standing? Dan Severn does whatever he wants with Tito wrestling.

Dan was also not very good. Good for his era sure, but by Tito's era Dan was not relevant. Also MMA math.

Tito was just as one dimensional as ken.

Ken was throwing fights in this era.

Rich and Tito were sus.

Ken was checked out 100%.

Ken Shamrock is about 10 years older then Tito Ortiz...do you all think a younger Ken Shamrock matched up against the Tito Ortiz that he fought would have done better or do you believe that MMA is a quickly evolving sport and a few years can make a big difference and that Ortiz was just a better fighter?

Ken would have beaten Tito into a living death.

But on a serious note, no Ken would have lost at any point in time.

 

[DiazSlap]

Yes a younger roided up Ken before USADA

But ya think Tito and his ever growing head was all natty??

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

Quit stealing gifs you seen in other threads.

You told us you didnt start following the sport full time until Ronda and Perry came. Thats too recent for you to have a say so.

Especially after you just tried to argue Sage could beat Mousasi if he had a month to beef up.

Did he seriously say that?

Also, Ken in his prime had excellent TDD. He could have stuffed Tito's shots. Of course, prime Ken was also a terrible striker so he would have got lit up like a Christmas tree in the standup and Tito was one of the best MMA wrestlers we've seen at LHW (at his best he would rank in the Top 5, IMO) so Ken scoring a takedown of his own is REALLY unlikely.

Tito was so much better than people give him credit for these days on account of him falling off hard in his later career due to numerous serious injuries and being an absolute troglodyte on the mic. His skills were undeniable.

Tito kills every version of Ken.

For some reason he just had Ken’s number every time

 

[JoeBobbaLou2]

Yeah.. I don't think Ken could beat any version of Tito.

Agreed, Tito ragdolls any version of Ken.


Even WWE Ken

Yes !!!

Ken was definitely better than Tito

 

[Bullitt68]

I dont think so.

He had an answer for Severn's wrestling but Tito, a smaller and less decorated wrestler, would've been too much for him? Prime Ken would've mauled the best version of Tito.

 

[tequilaboy]

Yeah.. I don't think Ken could beat any version of Tito.

Well he did rock him in their first fight, following fights were absolute murders though..

 

[markantony20]

Wow this thread is a throwback!

I’ll pitch in and say no, I think Tito was just a superior athlete who was stronger and more brutal on the ground.

I don’t think that’s a perfect comparison, yes Tito is a less decorated wrestler but he’s also younger and more explosive with better striking and more advanced GnP despite Severen having been one of GnP’s inventors.
