    Lets say a prime Mancini moves up 5 pounds and takes on a prime Tszyu... hows he fare?

    I would favour Tszyu to bomb him out mid-rounds.

    Kostya would zero in on Ray big time in the 6th with his accurate right hand and it would have been curtains for Ray a round or two later...maybe a three knockdown tko in 8.

    Finding it hard to think of ways Mancini wins this. I can see it being a mid round TKO to Tszyu.

    Ray is simply too hittable. He'd do some damage, and may even come close to toppling Tszyu with his work rate, but those right hands are going to damn near kill Ray if the ref doesn't intervene.

    Yeah, tough matchup for Mancini. If he couldn't get Bramble out of there, I don't like his chances of getting Tszyu out. Tzsyu TKO 10 in a brutal war.
