99 was the year they had their first altercation that started the feud
tito was relatively new to mma and obviously ken was younger then
who would've won if they fought in 99?
Wheyhem.

It's hard to say. IMO Guy Mezger is/was every bit as good as Ken, probably better, and Tito gave him a good challenge in their first fight, when Tito was still very green in MMA, and beat him the second time around.

Guy Mezger still isn't bad at all, but he would lose to Tito because Tito is just too good. Both being pro fighters know what to do to beat each other so mentally Mezger is as good as tito but when it came down to physically being able Tito handled him more. And also not many people know that Tito did lose to Mezger the first time around. They only know Mezger losing to tito because of the whole Shamrock fued beginning.

tough question. IMO, probably Ken just from experience. Tito was pretty green back then. But Tito grew quickly and I think he is a better fighter in his prime than Ken was in his.

Tito's way too dominant for some fighters, against Liddell he has no chance due to Liddell's technique, unfortunately Ken doesn't possess that technique so Tito would maul him like level 3 bear.
