Kostya Tszyu vs. Oscar De La Hoya

if vince phillip can do it.........

 

DLH at any weight.....Just a better boxer with more natural attributes....DLH only has to watch out for that right hand power from KT so it wouldn't be a terribly hard win.

 

Charlie, I see it going the same way.

 

Why didn't this fight happen? Did Oscar move out of Tzyu's weight range too quick?

 

Oscar was already a boxing superstar beating up Chavez in 96 while Tszyu was getting brutally KOed by Vince Phillips it wasnt really until Tszyu took out Zab in 2001 when he became "god" to everyone and at that point Oscar was beating up Junior Middleweights. Oscar u can say did move out of that weight quickly but it wasnt from fear Tszyu was unproven at that point and Oscar went up in weight to fight much tougher guys Trinidad,Mosley,Whitaker,Quartey,Carr,Chavez,Camacho etc.

 

zoo gets his ass whooped. after seeing zoo getting his ass whooped by vince phillips, he never impressed me. oscar by knocked-the-****-out.

 

De La Hoya wins this on late stoppage or points. De La Hoya was a great fighter and is a legend. Tszya was an excellent fighter who just fell short of true greatness.

 

Well...to me it's logical that the better boxer who faced the better oppositon would be favored. Stylistically DLH is all wrong for KT. He may do well in spots but overall he is outclassed and outboxed.

 

exactly, tszyu kos judah and all of a sudden he becomes an atg over night.

 

Agreed, and I have a lot of respect for Kostya. He's just a level below Oscar, and like you said, a bad style match up.

 

Yup and looking back on it seeing Judah lose to almost every live body he gets in with Tszyus resume isnt very impressive infact its not impressive at all to me especially when its compared to Oscars.

 

DLH by UD or late TKO.

 

Whenever this poll comes up I am so surprised at how many people pick Tzyu. You guys either really over rate Tzyu or under rate Oscar.

 

If Felix Sturm could do it....

If Spinks could beat Ali....

If Thadzi could beat Toney....

 

If Tzyu was to move all the way to middleweight he would get bith slapped by Sturm worse than Oscar
