How would Tszyu have done at 147 - in his day - and who would he have beat?

Beats all except Margo, mosley and forrest. Margarito is the worst match up for him imo.

 

Mosley, Mayorga, and Margarito can beat him. Kostya-Mosley would be a GREAT one!

:thinkJudah and Forrest are tough fights but in his day Kostya Wins. Even though he's a smaller welterweight Tszyu scores a couple great KO's on that list.

 

Exactly.














(I lean in Tszyu's favour though)

 

Moron............ Have a look at Tyszu vs Forrest. its an early indication to a better win.

 

Tszyu and Forrest never fought without headgear. Who wins in the amateurs has no bearing on who would win in the pro's. Kostya is an overrated fighter. Any full fledged WW would give Kostya trouble. Kostya knew that above 140, he had a no chance in hell to beat any of the elite fighters.

 

No need for the moron comment. Just because he beat him in the amatuers doesnt mean he'd do it in the pro's Forrest is a big welterweight whie tyszu would be moving up. Forrest did beat a prime mosley so dont see whats so absurd by suggesting he beats tyszu.

 

:good

 

Tszyu was an overrated 140lber. At 147 he would have been splattered all over the canvas. At 140 could not beat that overhyped cockhead Hatton Never beat anyone of note. Got lucky against Zab. Mitchell was a fluke and got his lights punched out by a junkie.

 

are you sure about that overrated comment? and the hatton comment seems pretty well absurd without being qualified?

i suspect that if you watched the last twenty fights of tszyu's career you would see a dominant champion of tremendous power and skill who had long since passed his peak by the time he dropped the fight to hatton. i don't take anything away from ricky, but i am not sure at all he would have had a chance against kostya if that fight took place before he was 35, before the long layoffs and so on.

isn't it a logical fallacy to call two knockout wins against judah and mitchell.--who was also way passed his best when he fought tszyu, incidentally--a fluke. how is it that beating two world class fighters with your punching power seems a fluke to you?

so, by that logic, ricardo mayorga stopping forrest was a fluke...and so were the first 25 knockout victims of mike tyson's career, right? otherwise, if they aren't, you are subscribing to a faulty and incomplete series of logical deductions that make no sense. in a fight, it is a near impossibility to call anything a fluke and anything else a solid reality based on the past and suggesting a course for the future.

 

There are some idiotic posters in here Sweet.

Everytime they talk about Tszyu they only mention his losses but his Prime was between the losses.

I feel from 99 to 03 was Tszyu's Prime.

How come they never talk about Mosley's losses or Lennox's **** losses.
They always use the word overated with Tszyu which shits me because he always wanted the big fights like fighting 15 out of 18 World title fights overseas isnt searching for big money fights.

PLEASE. he wanted them he just never really got them. Its a shame really.

Maybe if he got the fights with Dela Hoya,Gatti and PBF we wouldnt get this ****. He might not have won all these fights but we know he wanted these fights.
