    Prime for Prime at 140 obviously, who do you see winning this fight?

    Sorry if this thread has been done before I tried to see if it had and didn't see it.

    Taylor would look good at first but will get caught with a bomb sooner or later.
    Tszyu didnt like pressure, and I dont think Taylor was that type of fighter to put alot of pressure on Zoo

    Its a tough one to figure out. Taylor was fast and could move and box well, but look what he did to Zab Judah, and Sharmba Mitchell who were pretty fast technicians. I think it took a strong boxer puncher to really hurt Tsyzu, and not sure Taylor could do it, or handle the tremendous pressure Tsyzu put on his opponents. He was almost like a sharp shooter against these slick guys. He would stalk stalk and then lower the booming righthand, and he had a lot of success with it, against some pretty slick guys. I'd probably say Tsyzu by KO or Taylor UD.:D

    taylor would win, kt has the power to stop taylor but he isnt as resiliant as jcc was and would be outboxed and outpunched by taylor. i can see kostya going into a shell and not throwing for the last few rounds until taylor wins by stoppage

    Taylor can win, but Tszyu can stop him and i voted for that.

    I think Tszyu wins by stoppage, sooner-or-later.

    Look at this desperate creep posting for the first time in the classic trying to pass as a credible poster .

    Look at his thread in the lounge about the posters he thinks are the worse posters on the general forum(its basically a list of people that have owned him multiple times) and after someone mentioned him as being the worst poster on ESB he then made his first post ever on the classic to try and pass for a credible poster.

    after two posts here he now thinks hes a boxing historian.

    Tyszu KO or Taylor UD. I'm not Tyszu is capable of breaking Taylor down the same way that Chavez did or if he can live with the pace, or if Taylor can fight a bit smarter, all question marks.
