Aaron Pryor vs Kostya Tszyu

Flew out with my wife for my parents 70th birthday party over the weekend, was able to stay and watch the game with my dad Sunday night before coming back home Monday. The quality time was nice... bittersweet as always, but nice.

 

Zab is mentally weak and not durable. The Hawk was nothing like Zab and fights nothing like him. There's a reason why people are agreeing with me saying the hawk is a bad styles match up for tszyu.

 

And yet, saying "Bad styles" and not even trying to attempt to discuss the style matchup is a BS post. Noobs just say "Styles make fights" w/o addressing the style is weak. Or we have the boxreccers who just look at resumes and make their pick from that. THOSE are who are mostly agreeing with you.

Look at my post # 77. THAT at least discusses styles. Do you disagree with all that? NOw I wouldn't even count our Pryor. But at least I addressed the issue.

 

A former undisputed a multiple time world champion who dropped Floyd Mayweather is mentally weak? Lol that’ll do me.

 

The guy has no idea what he is talking about he discredits Tszyu every time he is brought up he is just a hater.

 

Cool Vince >>>>>>

 

You've never seen Cool Vince when he was fighting in his prime...

 

Dropped pbf??? when did that happen? With that said stylistically Zab is a hard match up for pbf because he could beat him to the punch and counter him. Yes did you see his act in the pbf fight? He was getting busted up was ready to go so he intentionally fouled pbf low.

 

Tito Trinidad did the same thing we he also mentally weak? Tszyu KO’d Judah Floyd struggled with him.

 

Tszyu likes his space he likes to fight at his own pace as well . Guys who didn't give him that respect and pushed the pace crowding him and working gave him fits. I don't care about the hawk getting dropped the fact is just like jmm he recovered very well and still knocked guys out after. The Hawk is a problem for Tszyu because he won't respect him he will be on his ass from the opening bell. One can easily conclude that since Tszyu likes his pace and space and the Hawk won't give that to him then he will struggle. Add to the fact that the Hawk has beaten better fighters than tszyu and tszyu hasn't beaten anyone as good as the Hawk then a win for the Hawk is the likely outcome. This isn't rocket science one fighter is better and fights in a style that gives a lesser fighter problems. Quit trying to make this out to be more than what it is ffs. Anyone who knows boxing would pick the Hawk here nothing I'm saying is outlandish.

 

Beat him to the punch? Judah beat a master boxer to the punch? Tszyu just timed him after about one round.

 

That's more like it, I know you had it in you. My only issue is with Hawk's relentlessness. Going in throwing like he did leaves himself WAAY to open to a counter to a smart fighter who can time. Maybe Tszyu would never get that opening. This would be a great fight regardless.

 

Zab was a front runner he was always dangerous early but after that he usually fell apart against good comp. He really never showed the ability to overcome adversity or make adjustments.

 

He made adjustments in the Spinks rematch to become undisputed welterweight champion

 

Reflexes Zab is a better natural athlete than pbf. When superior athletes like pbf face guys who are faster than them when they're usually always faster guy in the ring it can mess with them. Look at Shakur vs de los Santos and look at how he struggled when he faced someone who was just as fast if not faster than him. When you're not as fast you're used to it but when you're used to being the faster guy and you fight someone faster it can mess with you.
