    50/50 fight. I actually think Gatti might stand a better chance against Tszyu than Mayweather. Ive never seen Tszyu bothered at all by any type of slickster, but gets beater by mediocre brawlers. Sometimes boxing is more about styles than talent. Sad but true.

    Extremely important point heidegger. This is mainly why I would have Tszyu winning by KO. Tszyu's sense of timing and distance we're in my opinion easily superior to Mayweather(now or then). I would be amazed if a rational thinking person could see Mayweather hurting Tszyu even despite the volume of punches along with Floyd's countering ability. I also think that PBF's footwork would be negated as we have seen Tszyu literally run opponents down and hand out a beating. A good comparison to help understand my point of view would be: Mosley is twice as good as Malinaggi who gave Cotto his toughest fight to date. Mosley is faster, smarter and much more powerful. Which is why Cotto loses. Tszyu was much more of a complete fighter than Castillo who we all know gave PBF his toughest fight and many on this site think Castillo won one if not both of their outings together. I think we can all agree that Tszyu was worlds above Castillo in every department also possessing skills Castillo never had or will have. This is why Tszyu wins Late KO

    Yes, because Philips fought exactly like Mayweather. And that Tszyu fought like a peak Tszyu... :patsch

    You my friend are an idiot........I don't like Mayweather, but to bunch him in with the "average slickster" is just DUMB.........He's the BEST fighter in the world, no ordinary fighter...........

    That's extremely poor logic, Zab Judah and Kostya are two totally different fighters. Are you new to boxing? Styles make fights, just because fighter A beats fighter B more convincingly than fighter C does, does not mean fighter A automatically beats fighter C, that's straight out ridiculous.

    You got the flawed logic happening again, the Forrest fight wasn't even in the pro game!! Terron millett beat Philips who KO'd Tszyu so by your logic Terron Millett p4p no.1 baby! He could've beat floyd!

    And please explain to me how Judahs and Mayweathers styles are similar? One's a righty and one's a lefty for starters so please explain

    Wait a minute, you're that kid whose 'friend' apparently told him that Mundine is fighting Kostya. You actually are new to boxing, welcome :good Try not to comment on things until you have some idea of what you're talking about, that's my advice to you.

    Also Anton Solopov, Kostyas boy and the inspiration for your screen name, is Rubbish

    Tszyu at his best wasnt just a puncher, he was an excellent boxer too

    Haha I'm not a Floyd fan in any way, i was giving my opinion on the subject of the thread, and my opinion is Mayweather would outpoint your mancrush, deal with it. I look like Floyd? What are you basing that on? Because i'm black and i have my hands in the air and a belt round my waist?

    LOL at I was here first

    Floyd could outbox MOST fighters even if he isnt on his A game.....witht htat said he would definitely have to bring his A game with Zu.....but i just think is a smart fighter, he knows his opponents strengths and weaknesses, he studies fights, if you listen to him he does love boxing its his passion so i don't think Zu would bring anything to the table that he wouldnt be ready or prepared for including the big Right....i think he would negate Zu's Right and try and mess up his timing....i got Floyd winning a close one and exciting one.
