Shane Mosley-Kostya Tszyu at 140

Can you explain why you think Tszyu beats Shane...or are you content allowing a youtube video on two different fighter from almost 20 years ago do the work for you?

Do you even HAVE the ability to give an explanation?

 

Precisely! That this is even an argument says a lot about some posters.

 

Don't run off after talking **** grouch... back your posts up with a breakdown, not an old video. It's the polite thing to do.

 

The reason many great/very good amateurs do not make it in pro boxing is because of factors like power, toughness, chin and not because of their lack of boxing skills.

 

Obviously.

 

This flaw he has is very relevant to this thread though..given how strong of a finisher Mosley could be.

I didnt think it was hard to see...this was a problem for Tsyzu..not just in one fight where he had an off night but several..and its would have played a major role in the outcome of fight between him and Mosley.

 

Disagree about that headbutt having anything to do with that... straight right caught him and you can't deny Kostya's straight right is one of the best in the game.

It was the landing of the punch that wobbled him dude, he got chin checked and lost balance - the headbutt was too high

 

Tszyu

 

Tszyu by brutal KO, Natural or Juiced Mosley wouldn't see past 10 rounds. Tszyu has more power, better chin, better boxing IQ, better timing, better technically.
Only thing Shame Mosley has is speed. And timing kills speed

 

HEY UIUI ITHINKTHE OTHER WAY AROUND MOSLEY THE BETTER BOXER AND ZOO THE SLU4GGER.ANYWAYS VINCE PHILLIPS WAS LIKE A POOR MANS MOSLEY ,MOSLEY WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME BUT FASTER ID SAY GREAT GREAT FIGHT FOR 5OR 6 ROUNDS AND THEN MOSLEY DOMINATES 7 AND 8 AND KNOCKS HIM OUT IN 9 TOO FAST! ALSO DONT MENTION THE HATTON FIGHT CUZ TSZYU WA S PAST HIS PRIME AND WOULD HAVE BEAT HIM AT HIS BEST. aLSO WHOEVER MENTIONED THE TSZYU,FORREST,MOSLEY COMPARISONS DONT KNOW BOXING STYLES MAKEFIGHTS AND THATS NOT SOME STUPID CLICHE.BESIDE AS PROS FORREST WOULD HAVE WHUPPED ZOO AT WELTER.

 

I am not running, I just don't understand how can you even think of comparing Kosta and Mosley. While Mosley is an A fighter, Kosta is in its own class.

As a prof to my point of view consider this. 1991 worlds in amateurs - every fight ended in KO, first in 30 years who unified 140lbs, extremely effective against cuties (the best argument agains Mosley), amateur's Forrest fight, etc..

As I said, these two are in different classes, Mosley is good but not Kosta good. The only fighter who beats him prime for prime is Mayweather.

 

Tszyu

 

Not at all. As a matter of fact, it's good to debate one's opinion on here. It's not like you and I are saying that our opinion is 100% right and that's the end of the conversation.

 

I agree with whoever said anybody picking an 'easy' fight for either guy is a flat out hater.
Guys are saying that Kostya loses because Hatton beat him, but say ignore Mosleys last fights because he was old. Right, so, a 35 yr old Kostya that had fought something like 3 rounds in 2 years is at his absolute best right?

Very tough fight for either guy no matter who you favour.

Just about every comment written here is almost word for word what was written BEFORE the Judah fight about Tszyu. Too slow, can't box, feet in concrete, won't handle the power or pressure.

Just to stir up some ****, I assume nobody here is judging Mosely on any of his fights when he was juiced right? Or can we assume Tszyu is allowed to juice for this fight as well?????

 

Yeah Know one said a ****ING word about the roids.

Yet all they can come up with is Tszyu lost to Phillips.

But it makes me wonder how many fights Mosley won in his Prime on roids.
