Aaron Pryor vs Kostya Tszyu

Tszyu likes his space he likes to fight at his own pace as well . Guys who didn't give him that respect and pushed the pace crowding him and working gave him fits. I don't care about the hawk getting dropped the fact is just like jmm he recovered very well and still knocked guys out after. The Hawk is a problem for Tszyu because he won't respect him he will be on his ass from the opening bell. One can easily conclude that since Tszyu likes his pace and space and the Hawk won't give that to him then he will struggle. Add to the fact that the Hawk has beaten better fighters than tszyu and tszyu hasn't beaten anyone as good as the Hawk then a win for the Hawk is the likely outcome. This isn't rocket science one fighter is better and fights in a style that gives a lesser fighter problems. Quit trying to make this out to be more than what it is ffs. Anyone who knows boxing would pick the Hawk here nothing I'm saying is outlandish.

 

Beat him to the punch? Judah beat a master boxer to the punch? Tszyu just timed him after about one round.

 

That's more like it, I know you had it in you. My only issue is with Hawk's relentlessness. Going in throwing like he did leaves himself WAAY to open to a counter to a smart fighter who can time. Maybe Tszyu would never get that opening. This would be a great fight regardless.

 

Zab was a front runner he was always dangerous early but after that he usually fell apart against good comp. He really never showed the ability to overcome adversity or make adjustments.

 

He made adjustments in the Spinks rematch to become undisputed welterweight champion

 

Reflexes Zab is a better natural athlete than pbf. When superior athletes like pbf face guys who are faster than them when they're usually always faster guy in the ring it can mess with them. Look at Shakur vs de los Santos and look at how he struggled when he faced someone who was just as fast if not faster than him. When you're not as fast you're used to it but when you're used to being the faster guy and you fight someone faster it can mess with you.

 

HIs chin wasn't 'china' but it could let him down. He should NOT have lost to Baldomir. But when he got ricked, he let his foot off the gas big time.

 

Rightly seen as the favourite?

I see as many or more people selecting Tszyu.

For me it’s a 50/50 fight.

 

I don't

 

If Pryor has the black bottle he can’t lose.

 

And that’s fine but you aren’t the arbiter of who is “rightly seen as favourite.”

 

Neither are you. But if the fight could be made today I'd be willing to bet the Hawk would be the favorite.

 

Just point out where I said either fighter was favourite?

I haven’t even selected a winner.
