Aaron Pryor vs Kostya Tszyu prime for prime

Nah Tszyu just got lucky, judah is too fast for him.:nut

anyway I would actually pick Aaron Pryor, but it seems most underrate Tszyu, I think he would beat DLH for instance.

 

yeah, point taken. he does get underrated for being a solid top 5 all time at the weight. it's just that stylistically he suffers in many of these matches and he's often pitted against ridiculously tough h2h fighters.

 

Are you saying Arguello's power was on a par with Tszyu's ?

Tszyu would be fighting to survive. He could punch but Pryor would give no rest. Aaron the Hawk scores a UD that isn't even close.

 

Pryor can fight in a multple styles...box, slug, move, etc.

Unless Kosta just catches him with one great shot, Pryor can bide his time and finally stop him late.

 

Tszyu was very good in his prime but the Hawk is animal that wouldn't relent and stops him in about 7 or 8 rounds. Too much pressure.

 

I don't like the Tszyu hand placement against this opponent.

That left hand extended way out thereat all times leaves way too big of an opening to a precision puncher like Pryor. That right hand elbow out style is another opening where I can see a guy like Pryor coming right over the top and landing clean. And nobody ever had to tell Pryor to throw followups.

Kostya is much better when he sets the pace and dictates the tempo but that is about 50% of the pace of a Pryor fight.

 

Pryor - too much speed,too much volume,too much consistency,too many angles - pretty much too good of a fighter for Kostya Tszyu to beat.

 

i did think he , was
just confirming the chin .

 

Come to think of it, I think Tszyu and Cervantes would be a real good fight. or Dujuan Johnson in a slugfest & I just don't think Kostya gets by both of those guys.

 

Tszyu is the more proven fighter by far , and the cleaner one too.
Pryor is vastly overrated here.
This fantasy match is very typical to here , but is an insult to Tszyu , whom is overrated himself BTW , but less because he does have some credentials to support his high ranking .
