Kostya Tszyu vs. Oscar De La Hoya

Some extremely biased and naive comments here, from people who literally have no idea what happened to Kostya before the Phillips fight, or who haven't watched hardly any of his career.

 

Tszyu isn't beating Hoya at 140, he'd make it a competitive fight, but that's about it.

 

Hoya by decision, possibly late round stoppage in a fairly close fight, but clear win for Oscar.

 

Dlh Ud.

 

I think alot of you guys are under-rating Tszyu's chin. The man spent his whole career walking through big punchers and was never troubled by bodyshots either. Only stopped on his feet by Phillips after taking bombs for 10 rounds and still walked out of the ring.

The guy was smart too. He wouldn't under-rate Oscar, I think we'd see a patient Tszyu picking his shots, hooking off the jab and setting up some brutal rights and bodyshots. I think Tszyu would certainly keep his ego in check. He lived for these moments and I certainly don't see Oscar stopping Tszyu.

Oscar has certainly faced some big punchers, but the thing is ... he's been put down by alot of them too. Tszyu might not be the biggest puncher on DLH's resume, but he's probably the best finisher.

I honestly see this as a very close fight that probably ends up being a DLH ud after Tszyu hurts him early. That said, if the Tszyu from the Gonzales fight showed up, he's got a chance against anyone at 140.

By the way, if you haven't seen that fight ... go watch it. It'll make you a Tszyu fan.

 

Why did this fight never happen?

 

politics man, politics!!!

 

Oscar would kill him

 

pff!!!!
