No man has EVER outboxed Kostya. Even in the Vince fight, he was kicking his ass before he gassed (leading on scorecards). Someone mentioned before the problem with Kostya was his ego, which I agree with; if he was a little more humble, he would have retired undefeated.
Most of these PBF fanboys know very little about Tszyu's career. Not even a huge 6 foot vernon forrest could outbox Tszyu. As a matter of fact Kostya gave him a boxing lesson and a beatdown in the amateurs and made it look easy. Judah who always wipes his opponents out in the first 4 rounds got dominated in the 2nd and knocked out after Kostya timed him. Someone the size of Floyd with fragile hands and featherfists will never be able to stop Tszyu. The best Floyd could do is squeak by in a very close decision if he manages not to get stopped. Tszyu eats flashy defensive boxers for breakfast any day of the week.
You mean that entire ONE round before Tszyu knocked him out? Because he was comfortably winning the second.
prime tszyu is just so hella accurate he will caught pbf eventually...if judah can put a dent on floyd somewhat...prime tszyu would get the job done... tszyu by ko/tko...
and with your logic i can say this if vince phillips can school tszyu like he did...then mayweather will do an even better job
I love how everyone says PBF RUNS??? if he just runs how does he win...that is like saying all BHOP does is hold...he has never lost...he has ko'd some great fighters...if all he does is run than why can noone just cut the ring off and beat him down?
well done. i'm australian and floyd takes down tszyu. the thing with floyd is that he builds himself up as the next coming but plays a numbers game in the ring. nonetheless, he's a smart, smart fighter who could have been remember in a greater context than he sold if he actually backed it up like he said.
he has never lost...everyone says they are the greatest to prmote fights...he has backed it up by winning
not everyone says they are the greatest to promote fights and have people believe it. floyd is clearly (imo) the most talented fighter since jones to step into a ring, but don't you wish he made some different choices post-gatti to define his career?
jesus people are crazy on here..zab is no PBF and u r right it was ONE rd...and to use that fight as an example of how PBF WINS is stupid since kostya ****ing smoked zab...I think floyd wins a good fight UD because he is simply a better boxer...has nothing to do with their other fights
Vince schooled Kostya? What are you people smoking? Kostya may have got KTFO but at no point did he get schooled, he gassed late and got knocked out with his hands by his side. It resembled the Douglas - Tyson fight.
