Prime Kostya Tszyu V Mayweather

Mayweather easy UD. Far too quick.

 

Would have been a good fight

 

I've always found Kostya predictable. 1-1 2-2 1-1 2-2 1-2 1-2. I think Mayweather would have found his patterns too easy. Kostya had excellent timing and power and other intangibles but he was not very innovative in there. He looked very ordinary in there against Oktay Urka and Vince Phillips - everybody remembers the old JCC, Sharmba Mitchell and young Judah destructions but Kostya had some real weaknesses as a boxer in an entirely conventional sense (his style was very ordinary). I feel like he was an overachiever, honestly.

 

Tysu really had a punchers chance ..If he couldn't catch Floyd he would lose by decision

 

You have to be able to fight Floyd on the inside and out to beat him. A basic 1-2 won't beat him. Floyd tko in 9.

 

Kostya is one of the great 140 lb fighters ever, but this is a bad matchup for him.

He's too slow and flat footed for Mayweather. Like someone mentioned above, he has anvils in his gloves so he definitely has a real puncher's chance to hurt Floyd, but if he can't catch him, I'd imagine Mayweather beats him by a relatively wide UD.

 

I think Floyd wins but tsyu had insane timing so speed wasnt a big issue for him. Make no mistake if he wouldve been able to time floyd and catch him once the fight couldve been over in a flash. Just ask Zab.

 

I could see Zoo catching him to be honest his timing was excellent. It did'nt take him long to suss Judah out.

 

Tszyu's speed, footwork and knockout power would have given Fkoyd plenty of problems. Prime Floyd ducked Tszyu, so that tells you everything you need to know about how Floyd felt about this fight.

 

I know that Tszyu would most likely destroy Gatti, but the punch variety and angles Gatti and Froch threw always seemed to me to be much different and more entertaining than Tszyu, who stayed in his comfort zone. Did you watch his fights with Phillips and Urkal? Did you find them entertaining? I felt like he really wasn't a blood and guts let it all hang out kind of fighter. Mayweather is boring, sometimes. As he would be in decisioning Tszyu,in what I imagine would be a Baldomir type performance from him

 

I hope your not saying Zoo hits harder that GGG

 

Tszyu is up there with the most overrated boxers of all time. Floyd by mid to late round TKO. Too much punishment dished out.
