    Stylistically, Tszyu would match up pretty well with Mayweather. Tszyu landed bombs from range.

    Tszyu is too slow for this one. He was a great fighter, no doubt. The attribute he really lacked was speed, and he had no height or reach advantage over Floyd as a Hearns or Williams would to keep Floyd from countering all night long. Was it Hurtado who beat him? I don't know, but Tszyu's best wind is the old old Chavez.

    Zab was actually winning the fight until he got cocky and got KO'd...bt you can't judge a floyd fight of of 1 punch, Mosley did that...

    Tszyu had amazing timing and fantastic fundamentals. And, of course, he had great power.

    Whoever said Roger Mayweather gave Tszyu a good fight is nuts. Tszyu schooled him. Close to a shut-out.

    In fact, that might have been the bout that made Floyd afraid of fighting Tszyu.

    If they had fought, I would go with Floyd. But there's a lot of guys Floyd didn't/wouldn't fight (like Cotto) that he probably would have beaten. That's part of what makes him Floyd.

    Never. He would have gotten beaten. I love Kostya, but timing isn't enough to beat Mayweather.

    It is my opinion that Floyd has a bad chin and can't deal with a fighter that has speed, ko power and youth at WW. After Castillo not one of his opponents fits the description.

    The fact that they were lineal champions or ranked at #1 don't matter.

    However you accept ODLH, Cotto, and Margo as "good" wins? You ******* zombie. :lol:

    We've seen nothing to indicate that Mayweather would ever lose, let alone get knocked out. Not saying it would not happen, but NO ONE who fought during his era would ever be favored against Mayweather. People don't like to hear it, but Mayweather vs. Tsyzu ends up like either of the Castillo fights (a super close Mayweather decision or a clear 8-4 Mayweather decision).

    Cotto win was tremendous. Clottey domination was tremendous.
    Two top notch welterweights who have been in with the absolute best for years. Nobody did to either what Manny did except for Margarito and Manny took care of that problem. Wins at not even his best weight vs Barerra, Morales and even the SD vs JMM who is just a beast at that weight he still got the nod and did land the best punch of the fight putting JMM on the canvas.

    Floyd does not have a track record of stopping an offense of a KO powered fighter of that caliber at the proper weight and age. Not one.

    Tszyu's resume isn't going to fight Floyd. Tszyu has a better resume than many so-called ATGs.

    Floyd is beatable as Castillo proved. Castillo was not a great boxer. Still I would favor Floyd to beat Tszyu on points in a close fight.

    Floyd is so great why was ODLH and Castillo 1 able to get off almost 1000 punches combined and Castillo landed over 130 Power shots. Zab Judah who was Knocked out by Kosta and Miguel Cotto yet he put Floyd to the canvas and went 12 rounds.
    Castillo and Zab not near the class of Cotto and Tszu and Oscar was old and this is all when Floyd was in his prime. If he was the real deal he would have another gear he could turn on and throw combinations and put away fighters but he does not and that gear is replaced with hype from HBO and his mouth.

    Post Margarito was NOT tremendous. Cotto showed every sign of folding in the Clottey fight. Clottey didn't even punch and when he did? EVERYTHING landed. Pac made no adjustments and found no way to crack the defense. To this day I think something was wrong with that Clottey fight given the 1.5 million dollar bonus AFTER the fight.

    Cotto wasn't top notch. He is a guy who is shot. Face it. Mosley was the man to beat at WW and as usual Pac chose the guy who was KTFO and on top of that weight drained him.

    Barerra was a good win. Morales was EXPOSED by Raheem. Did he face the exposer? Hell no! JMM was a good fight and could have gone either way. After 135? Pac was cherry picking.

    FMJ is a pure boxer. Pure boxers have different results. KO's ain't everything.

    Moron! ODLH was at 154, his best weight, against Mayweather. ODLH was at 147 and needing IV rehydration vs Pac. This is coming from ROACH! You also fail to mention the broken hand of FMJ?

    Zab Judah was caught by a good punch by a MASTER of timing. Last time I checked this is Boxing. People get caught. Zab shot an uppercut to the crotch to survive. As for "not near the class" Cotto had to shoot MULTIPLE uppercuts to the crotch of Zab to survive!

    You don't even know the point of Boxing. Hit and not be hit. You just like blood. :lol:
