    This is the way I see it basically. I lean towards Tszyu KO at some point though.

    I'm still trying to figure out a winner in this match up as well, it's safe to say that it's not easy to choose a winner here. Tszyu was a great short range puncher but Taylor high workrate could prevent Tszyu from landing any short sharp counters.

    Taylor would give Tszyu too much range and was too easy to hit to beat a bomber like Tszyu. I think he'd do very well up until the KO, but it would come.

    Taylor by UD. At his best he was just plain better than Tszyu.

    WOW!!! Wonderful post, very insightful.

    Tszyu underrated because he is not flashy.

    (You could spell Tszyu but not way?)
