    this may shock everybody here but i am going for berg by ud .

    i cant see tszyu koing berg although i am certainly not saying berg would not be caught and hurt at times when rushing in but i can see berg swarming all over tszyu and outworking him in at times a very untidy fashion to take a very close ud over 15 rounds with both boxers marked up



    bet that really did shock you all

    if hatton could make a post prime zu quit on his stool then a prime zu versus a prime berg would end in a 14th round tko for berg .zu may be the bigger fighter here but it may come down to the old timers will to win

    yes, my chin hit my key board when i read that.
    big a fan as i am of berg i think he'd lose to tszyu but he would certainly push the aussie/russian all the way and be throwing the same ammount of leather in the last round as when the fight started

    I did careful research here and the results are in. Berg was born in 1909 and Kostya in 1969.

    Berg UD60 Tszyu.

    I lioke both fighters, I´m a sucker for fighters with a great right hand. Tszyu´s was a great one. But I think over 15 rounds Berg outworks him to a close but clear UD. Kostya is a bit unproven against this calibre of fighters.
