How would a prime Tszyu do against the following fighters @ 140. Amir Khan Timothy Bradley Manny Pacquiao Marcos Maidana Devon Alexander Juan Manuel Marquez Victor Ortiz
he would kayo all except alexander, as only he has the defensive skills to avoid the bombs of zoo. todays marquez wouldnt have much chance against zoo, but maybe marquez from 18 months ago would have done.
Pac and Marquez are more than a level above those other fighters and would beat him in their primes (we haven't seen a 140 Marquez). Bradley's a good champion, and the rest are barely out of the prospect phase of their careers. It's a toss-up but he'd be a favorite among the younger ones I think.
Pac would beat him. Tszyu would demolish Marquez at 140. If Alexander lives up to his potential it would be great fight. Still too young. 23. I'm not sold on Bradley and Khan.
Alexander doesn't seem to have all that great a defense if you ask me. It wasn't too hard for the slow, wide swinging Juan Urango to hit him with those wide hooks of his. Bradley has the better defense iMO, but alexander does seem to have a solid chin.
I'd give anything to see Kostya v Marquez. What a war. Pacman would knock him over sadly, Khan wouldn't be THAT bad for Kostya.
just to note, i dismissed pacman as he is a 147-er i believe. alexander has great reflexes and with a bit of fine tuning could be as skilled as cory spinks was, plus the knockout punch as an equalizer. maybe i overrate alexander, but i see something special in him.
Marguez would get mutilated at 140. His techincal skills are over rated by country miles. He would not win Kostya at Boxing match. and his chin wold not carry him through with Kostya's right hands.
