They met twice as amateurs when representing the Soviet Union, first in January 1988 when Nazarov won a split decision and a year later when Tszyu beat Nazarov back. Although they fought one division removed as pros, what do you think would have happened if they had met around 137/138?
No fan of Tszyu. Big fan of Nazarov, but this is a no brainer. Tszyu is too big and strong, and he was a southpaw killer. Nazarov would get beaten up.
