    At 140 would he beat Josh Taylor, Ramirez and Prograis? Possibly yes.

    I don't know if he would knock them all out, but I believe he whoops these guys. That being said, i dont watch the 140 lb fighters as much as I used to, but if you weren't special or having a Buster Douglas moment he usually takes you out in violent fashion.

    I think he has issues, but yeah he stays on top. Although he isn't the mythical creature he's made out to be, he did lose go Vince Phillips FFS.

    Cleans it out. Tyszu,s massively underrated nowadays. His resumes not great tbh. But he was tremendous probably underrated because he wasn,t flashy with his skillset. More a smart fighter that could really fight. Sticks on hurtado from the first round. Didnt give you much time to breath and was deadly at measuring you up with the right hand.

    Still reckon he,d have gave mayweather a fight. He had that ability to measure the right hand like he did against zab. Judah was faster...more flashy a good mover. On paper it should have been a long night for tyszu. Instead it took him two rounds to measure zab up for the right hand. Mayweather fight would have been interesting imo.

    If he based himself in the states he would have been a massive star, mainstream.

    Probably pretty good considering 140 is a pitstop to WW. ODLH only spent 3 fights there. Mosley skipped it entirely. His best contemporaries just went to 147. That's still happening. Danny Garcia could've probably had a crazy reign, but he chased the money.

    Him versus Crawford or Danny would be a lot of fun.

    Hit the nail right on the head.. All the elite guys only used 140 as pit stops while he stated there long term and definitely had the frame to go to 147.. So it’s his own fault that he gets underrated due to not taking the challenges at 147.. He’s still the gold standard at 140 along with Aaron Pryor..

    Here's one for you: Tszyu or the Crawford who unified all four belts against Indongo? I think I'd favor Crawford to pull it out with some rocky moments.

    During the fight camp for Vince he spent more time with his solicitor due to legal action with his former promoter than training, to make weight his diet was sao biscuits and water for 4 weeks.
