I think Witter possessed enough awkwardness and savvy to make thinks awkward for Tszyu. I'd take Tszyu to catch up with him and earn the stoppage but I certainly don't think it would be that easy.
I'm With Cecil on this. Kosta wins it imo but Witter was no bum. Hed give him the runaround for a while, Kosta falling behind on point s. But he'd bring Witter down to earth and stop him around the 11 th mark.
I remember a time adleast I think I do when people had a pretty high opinion of him. That seems to have dropped off IMO. BTW his autobiography is highly recommended
Kosta didn't like pressure, he didn't like guys who could walk through his power not give him room to breathe and sufficate him. It's no suprise he lost to Hatton and Phillips because they did exactly that. He would murder a poser like Witter. Witter couldn't fight for 3 minutes around yes he could be awkward and switch hit but in against a top tier technician like Kosta that would likely just delay the inevitable. Kosta also had world class power while Witters was mostly over rated after Koing a string off less Euro level fighters. Kosta by mid round beat down.
Phillips Idont know what happened he just couldnt avoid the rt hand that night. It was like he was never taught it. Prime for prime he knocks Hatton out. He was past it and seemed disinterested by then IMO
