Terence Crawford vs Kostya Tszyu

Not gonna argue with that.

 

I'm lazy I don't want to go through all the comments. Who on Bud's level is Tszyu resume?

 

There's not enough information on TC to know if he can beat Tszyu. He looks good but he hasn't faced anything remotely dangerous or in the league of KTs resume. When he starts taking out the Mikey Garcias, Thurmans and Errol Spences of the world then we can make a better judgement.

KT loved southpaws and right now my prediction is a KT win by KO.

 

He has matched Zoo's resume other than maybe Judah. Losing to Hatton is obviously a negative.

 

How so? LOL

Which fighters on Crawford's resume equaled or bettered the likes of Mitchell, Gonzalez, Hurtado, Chavez, Judah, Ruelas and Rodriguez?

 

Crawford isn't no Zab Judah. Crawford wins quite comfortably. Kostya Zyu wasn't ****. Heart got out on display against Gatton who who would get it too.

 

Diaz and Hurtado are pretty close.

I was more impressed with Postol going into the Crawford fight than Mitchell going into the Zoo fight. What he did to Matthysee was no joke.

Chavez was shot to pieces. If you dont know that, this convo is over.

Rueles and Gonzales were both on the slide. Burns, Gamboa, Beltran is probably better than beating those two.

And then Indongo is a little worse than Rodriguez, but nonetheless was a unified undefeated champ.

So basically Judah is the difference. But Phillips is a serious setback.

 

Regarding tall opponents Pineda and Bergman were better than Indongo, Hurtado was better than anyone Crawford has faced yet, better than Postol.

 

Kostya was a hall-of-famer, but he had to scuffle against a chiny, washed-up Roger Mayweather, and had all the trouble in the world with Oktay Urkal (watch the fight). I take Crawford, I take Pryor over Crawford and 140lb. DLH probably over all.

lol. Faster than who? Vince Phillips, and Ricky Hatton are two guys that I can't see Crawford having problems with.

 

It seems people are overrating Indongo, in order to thus overrate Crawford himself. This is a consistent pattern on this site it seems.

 

In the first round yes he was being schooled, however by the end of that round Tszyu had him figured out and ZAB knew it , he spent most the the second round running and being chased till he got caught and started wobble dancing. Tszyu beats a pot shot power puncher like Crawford. Phillips and Hatton were pressure fighters who he struggled against. the smother type fighter troubled Tszyu . Crawford IMO would have been trapped and timed by KT.

 

No sh_it Chavez was shot to pieces, and yet I can't see anyone on Bud's resume that's better than that scalp, much less the others mentioned. That's kind of the point.

Ruelas and Gonzalez were no more shot than Burns and Gamboa. Get real. And Beltran is basically a perennial contender, nothing more.

Crawford's best wins are over contenders and a couple of real champs.

And for the record, we are not arguing that Crawford is not a great fighter, simply that Zoo's resume shits all over Bud's.

 

TC is not a natural south paw.

 

Convo OVER.
