    It's funny, if one does not have above-average, blazing speed, they get called slow.

    No one will ever confuse Tszyu's w/ Meldrick taylor's speed. Be he was far from slow.

    I cant answer this without bias, I'm to much of a Tszyu fan. I wish the fight had happened though, it would have been one of the best fights.

    I am a massive Tszyu fan, but I think Floyd would just win a very close decision prime for prime.

    Exactly. He was outboxed for one round, won the second round easily, before knocking him the FO.

    KT would never beat Mayweather, Mayweather is all time great fighter and KT is not.

    Seeing this same thread pop up again and again is like water torture, in the end though Mayweather (as well as Mosely) seems to respect Tszyu as a fighter a hell of a lot more than his fans.

    I don't think anyone would suggest Tszyu is greater than Floyd, but it's a style thing. Power arguably second to none at 140, good speed, laser accuracy and timing.. and an excellent boxer. He has the style to upset Floyd, and many people before the Hatton fight thought Tszyu would beat Floyd. Their standing in history is not comparible though, obviously.

    what a crock of bull**** right there. check out KT v vernon forrest in the amateurs on youtube - KT gave him a ****in lesson.

    KT would have KTFO PBF. KT was the greatest of his generation.

    Thisis a great fight but i think Floyd is just a superior athlete in the ring and i know Zu is no slouch i think a prime Floyd is just too much because Floyd would execute a great game plan to stay away from that right much like he stayed away from ODH's left PBF is a very smart fighter but its a close one.

    Zoo never faced anyone like PBF. Not even Zab at his best compares to PBF. Zoo would give PBF all he had and lsot a decision. Floyd's to smart to get caught like Zab.

    Zab made him touch the canvas, which counts as a knockdown even though it wasn't classed as one by the ref. But a flash at best, though he is not unhittable and Kostya had both frightening accuracy and power. It is not unreasonable to think that if anyone could have given Mayweather a proper count then Zoo could have.

    Tszyu has'nt officially retired. Anything to that?? I think it's quite easy for a great fighter to be overated. I feel both fighters should've and could've fought in their primes. I think we all can agree that both have a tremendous legacy however I don't think Floyd has acheived the status he claims he has. Tszyu never claimed anything because he was a true champion, did'nt have to claim anything, went into the ring did his business and went home. Floyd would impress me if he did less talking and more winning of championships. I also feel both Mosley or Cotto would put PBF on his back. If you people thought Zab made Mayweather look like a clown at times. Imagine Mosley fighting PBF. I think we all know PBF would need a shot of insulin when it's over.

    Kodon- The main and important point is PBF hasnt lived up to his own standards as a fighter. Believe it or not PBF is a bigger fan of himself than you are of him. So I'm going to hold him to it. Hatton does have a chance but as much of a chance as Mosley or Cotto?? Not on your life. I'm pretty sure PBF already knows this which is in part why PBF hasnt fought Mosley, and why he'll duck and run from the winner. When it happens you can say I called it. Peace:)
