If Pryor can take Arquello's punch, then he can take Kosta's punch. But the reverse is not true for Tzsyu. Pryor in nine.
Pryor is all wrong for Tszyu. Constant pressure from every angle, speed of hand and foot, tremendous power, and a granite chin. Pryor, probably in 7 rounds.
Who will you take Arguello vs Tzsyu? I will start i take Arguello he will beat him up and maybe stop him.
Arguello achieved nothing at 140 except for two KO losses to Pryor.He's not strong or physical enough at this weight to withstand Tszyu's power and he's also too slow at this weight. Alexis would get his share of punches in but I see Tszyu at his best systematically breaking him down ala the Ruelas and Gonzalez fights,and stopping him late. Tszyu by KO in 10.
We're getting a lot of these threads lately about guys who have the style to beat Tszyu against him. I pick Pryor. Tszyu a great 140 pounder imo though, in a certain light and respect. He'd possibly beat Arguello at 140, not too sure though, Tszyu may like that kind of fighter, but Arguello may fancy a fighter like Tszyu to stand off him also, with some analysis though, i'd take Kostya
Tszyu lost two fights. The first one he had a lot of out of the ring distractions in the lead up to the fight,the second he was old and ready to be taken by a hungry young fighter. The fact is Tszyu was a hard man to beat.Whilst he had flaws he was a versatile fighter who could adapt to a variety of styles and he had genuine one punch KO power the likes of which Pryor and Cervantes could only dream of. In my opinion (and as an Australian I'm biased) Kostya comes up short in too many dream matchups at 140.He's clearly top 5 at this weight and h2h I reckon he'd beat almost anyone apart from Pryor,De La Hoya,Whitaker and maybe Mayweather.
Tszyu would drop Pryor early, and would be in the fight for the first 4-5 rounds, but after that Pryor takes over and beats the **** outta Tszyu before stopping him late. Pryor TKO 10.
Dude, Kostya had inhuman punching power in his prime. Taking Arguellos shots would not be the same as taking Kostya's bombs and I MEAN bombs.
Kostya wins. Pryor was good but these days he is so overrated. Kostya will get his shots off and I can see him dropping Aaron 2-3 times on the way to a late stoppage or points victory. Pryor was a very protected fighter.
