    No, GGG hits Tim so hard, Kostya's rectum would fall out.

    It'd be competitive whilst it lasts. I think Tszyu either wears GGG down and forces a late stoppage between rounds or outworks him to a decision victory.

    He'd have more of a chance of beating GGG at 160 than Charlo beating Canelo at 168.

    GGG has to be very shot for me to see TT beating him. I'm not sure the last version we saw in a ring was quite shot enough.

    I think GGG is done. And if he's not done, maybe he should be done.

    You don't want someone to be too shot otherwise the potential match would have no value.

    Right but Tszyu vs. a prime GGG would also be devoid of value, as it'd be a massacre. There's a small window somewhere in which the perfect balance can be struck.

    With all due respect, how is that small window with the perfect balance not now?

    Because the GGG from Canelo III would still be favored IMO about 70-30 over Tszyu.

    He would have to be 70% of his form on that night to be 50-50 with Tim.

    Both are in the world title caliber mix.

    GGG is over 40 years old with an energy exuding offensive style. He's on the downtrend. He's lost twice. He fights at 160 pounds.

    TT is 28 years old with an energy exuding offensive style. He's on the uptrend. He's undefeated. He fights at 154 pounds.

    How is that small window with the perfect balance not now?

    Only if he decides to let his hands go & not just rely on being defensive sort of like in the Murata fight.

    With Tszyu at the peak of his game and GGG on the decline, if ever Tszyu was going to beat GGG it would be now. But I sincerely hope GGG retires.
