im talking about the stlye vince Phillips and hatton were toattly different style compared to mayweather , im saying koysta handle flashy fighters very well compared to the in close ruff them up types
Like Kostya but I've always thought he was very mechanical and stationary, it seemed like he thought too much in the ring (if thats possible), and always looked for the perfect shot. For Kostya to beat Mayweather I think he would have had to catch him with that perfect shot, and I just don't see how that could've happened. Kostya struggled with Hatton because Hatton took away Tszyu's ability to think by using constant pressure, he just swarmed Kostya. I think Mayweather would have employed a similar tactic, only in a more in and out fashion like he did against Coralles. In boxing anything is possible, I just think Mayweather would have been a bad style matchup against Kostya.
He'd have a better chance than most. Prime versions of Cotto, Pacquiao and Tszyu are the guys I always thought would have the best chance against Floyd (I'm only including those who were of a similar size and were around during his era).
I always liked Zoo...but Handling Forrest in the Ama's means jack..........check Tyson /Tillman.....or Bowe/Gonzales... I give him a pass for the Philips fight, he supposedly had some stuff going on and was not fully trained/focused. Took a aweful lot of hard shost from Vince before he was tko'ed standing in the corner. But the fight proved that he had a hard time adapting when he got into rough waters, he literally went tit for tat against Philips instead of taking a step back and box some, yeah, he went you hit me and I hit you.....and he got nailed with the same shots over and over again. I saw that fight live and I knew someone is gonna get stopped after the first couple of rounds. In regards to FMJ, well, watch the Hurtado fight, that is a prime re dedicated Zoo......he fought again very very foolish until Hurtado ran out of steam..........Zoo ain't beating Mayweather, no way no how.
You only say that because you hate black people. Hatton beat Tszyu with ease and Mayweather KO'D Hatton. It is always about race with you.
