    Tszyu lost to Phillip's so he can't beat Crawford doe

    Im a big fan of both guys. I think a younger Tsyzu with the blazing foot speed and better footwork could have made it a he'll of a shootout and possibly stopped Crawford but the older version of Tsyzu with no where near the same bounce and speed as younger version unthinkable gets his ass kicked.

    Prime Tszyu had amazing timing and he always did well against slick boxers. Crawford gets hit too much and Tszyu can punch like a mule.

    Prime for prime, I would pick Tszyu to catch Crawford and knock him out.

    IMHO this is pretty clear that TC would be much to quick, powerful and talented for KT to make it to the end

    The major difference I see between Crawford and Judah versatility and focus.
    Crawford can do a lot more things then Judah inside the ring and Crawford never loses focus, sticks to the game plan, and will make adjustments according to what’s happening throughout the duration of the fight.
    There’s levels to this.

    Tsyzu would have won by homicide.

    Can’t believe Pimp C ain’t in here bashing KT already (he’s got Vince Phillips problems!)

    Until I see TC in the ring with somebody remotely of that caliber I can’t say he wins

    The same prime Tsyzu that got destroyed by Phillip's? That Tsyzu? Let's be honest, it would be a good fight.

    I think both of them are from different styles. One might think that Crawford is more talented and more complete, but Tszyu is fundamentally strong. I'd say Tszyu fight similar to Golovkin.

    I personally like the way Crawford fight better, but Tszyu is just really good in his prime. Can't choose this one.
