    Tszyu would eventually catch him. The only way Joy wins is if he has his private security ref Kenny ‘protect Floyd at all costs’ Bayless.

    based on what? Ain’t nobody caught him and slept him. Floyd would dominate Tszyu. And I’m a Tszyu fan.

    Based on the fact that Tszyu is a powerful puncher and very skilled. Hell, Maidana beat up Floyd in the first fight and Bayless protected him in their second fight. Like I said it depends on the ref.

    I always thought Kostya would have beat him.

    Easy work. Floyd would **** him up worse than Cool Vince Phillips did.

    Would have been a great fight. I think tyszu was only one of a few guys that had the tools to cause floyd problems. Just a pity they missed each other. Showed against judah how good his timing was.
    Pretty sure Tyszu beat floyds uncle roger.

    I've always favoured Kostya in this fight. He's all wrong for Floyd. Slickness caused Floyd issues but Kostya thrived against it and he was too fast, intelligent and laser accurate to not be able to land with his bombs and too powerful and good a combination punchers to not be able to hurt Floyd badly. He's also one of the best finishers of all time too.

    I know Floyd rated Kostya very highly though - he had him ranked P4P #1 at one point and I'd bet my house he'd never fight a prime version of him

    Kostya would have lit Floyd up and was a rightful favourite at the the time the fight was being discussed.

    He was a favorite only because Floyd was moving up in weight. There isn't a chance in hell Kostya would've been the betting favorite after Floyd settled at 140.

    We are talking completely different levels here. Pac would beat Tsyzu, also. ODLH would have stopped him. Shane, too.

    Kostya is so overrated here you would think that this was an Aussie forum...

    ...Oh wait-
