    Prime for prime at a cachweight of say 138 pounds how do you see this one planning out?

    I reckon this would of been a classic and my prediction would be Kostya Tszyu by mid to late KO or TKO

    Your thoughts?

    Kostya just because there is so much size advantage in his favor. JMM is good and has good wins at 135 but come on Kostya is much larger and better than those guys.

    Besides Tszyu does well against guys who box and doesnt like pressure. JMM has been more aggressive lately and has good combinations but he still is a counter puncher and its only a matter of time before Tszyu lands something big on him.

    Im only going to add If Pacman can do this with less Power what do you think a bigger meaner Tszyu would do.

    I don't think Tszyu is too big although he goes have a big size advantage. I do think however that his jab and ring generalship are too good and he is too patient for JMM to be have enough opportunities to rack up points with his style. Tszyu by UD something like 8-4. If they were the same size I would pick JMM by SD or something close like that becuse Tszyu himself is a great fighter and JMM doesn't really have the kind of style that bothers him.

    I probably should of phased it differently. I think he's just too powerful and too strong, I think JMM has a lot of heart and a very decent chin aswell, but I doubt he could stand up to Kostya's best, and I think Tsyzu is definately good enough from a technical stand-point to open him up and land the big punches.

    I personally believe tszyu is the better puncher but marquez is the better boxer if marquez can manage to box perfectly for 12 full rounds then he wins but if tszyu lands a big punch he can end the fight

    I wouldnt give JMM a shot in hell at beating a prime Tszyu at 140.

    Tszyu by TKO within 8 rounds.

    While JMM is the better boxer, Kostya by KO.
