The reason Tszyu would beat Floyd is the same reason Floyd will beat Shane...

    K.T. was never proven against the best of his era so therefore he shouldn't me mentioned in the same sentence as F.M.J., Oscar,Shane. All I ever hear are excuses about how everybody avoided him, pure B.S. I don't care how great an ameteur career he had, he didn't prove he was great in the pros. I'm sick and tired of people claiming he would've beaten everyone. Facts are facts and he didn't fight the best that were out there at that time.

    I think Floyd beats even a prime Tszyu, but Kostya would have certainly had his moments and won a fair share of rounds.

    Right now its a horrendous mismatch.

    Mayweather of the Gatti Corley fights would have schooled and possibly stopped Tszyu. Zoo lost to Phillips and Hatton not because they presented him with a stylistic disadvantage, but because he was an inferior fighter to Floyd.

    Floyd Mayweather is like Roy Jones or Pernell Whitaker in their primes. Basically they hold a stylistic advantage over everyone they fought. Obviously you havent seen his fights with Gatti and Corley because Mayeather pressured both fighters at times and backed them up. Saying Floyd doesnt know ho to pressure shows that you dont know what the hell you are talking about. Watch Zoo, Corley and Mitchell please.


    Tszyu was never on the level of a Floyd Mayweather, Floyd would have slipped that 1-2 all day, and clipped him repeatedly leading to a TKO late on accumulation.

    Oscar is 5'11 with a 74 inch reach. Tszyu was 5'7 with a 67 inch reach. Oscar was a left hand dominate fighter, Tszyu was a right hand dominate boxer.

    What do they have to do with eachother stupid ass? :lol:

    LOL......................You really have No clue about boxing as a sport.

    In Tszyu Prime before the shoulder injury Tszyu had Power in both hands and one of his most underated punch's was his left hook.

    He cut off the Ring better than Dela Hoya aswell. His timing in his Prime was far superior to what we seen when we seen a Old Oscar.

    The Power that Tszyu had compared to any other fighter Mayweather has faced would have been far superior than any other opponent.

    The closest being Oscar.

    Mate get a clue. If you think he would be a easy fight why did they go the Gatti option tell me that.

    Michigan Tszyu was a ****ing Dangerous fight for any one at that weight.

    Just ask Judah who won the first 4 rounds against Floyd.

    If Floyd started that slow against Tszyu he would have died.

    Oscar had power in both hands to doesnt change the fact that he's a left hand dominate fighter and Zoo was a right hand dominate fighter.

    Timng, maybe. But combinaton punching. 154lb Oscar. Power. 154lb Oscar. Speed. 154lb Oscar. Jab. 154lb Oscar by a mile.

    Zoo had a solid 1-2, but lets not go and confuse him to fighters of Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya's caliber ok? :hi: Those fighters dont lose to Vince Phillipe and Ricky Hatton.

    Kosta Tszyu at 140 had more power then Oscar de la Hoya at 154? :nut
    Showtime vs HBO.

    Except for Vince Phillips and Ricky Hatton apparently.

    Judah won 3 rounds against Mayweather. Which would be more then Zoo would win.

    :rofl Funny guy. Maybe one day you'll wake up from your fantasy where Zoo ever competes level with Mayweather.

    There is no way in hell Tzyu at any point in his career would have beaten floyd.

    I can never take a poster seriously when he comments on another boxer winning rounds against another fighter as if its some sort of moral victory after a loss.

    Judah winning 4 rounds against floyd has nothing to do with how Tszyu would have done against mayweather.

    Marquez won more rounds against Pac, does that mean Marquez would have beat cotto faster than Pac?

    Why ? :huh

    Because DLH & Tszyu fought alike ?
    Because Oscar beat Floyd ?
    or
    Because the FMJ-DLH fight was at 140 ?

    :nut

    Tszyu wasn't overrated, in his prime it would of been a interesting fight, when i say prime i don't mean after he was out of boxing for two years and got beat by Hatton, but hey he whooped Mitchell before that and he was considered the favorite at the time stateside.

    The likes of Pavlik are overrated, but considered underrated on here! I just dont get it!

    By the way, Floyd still wins!

    i think everyone makes good points about a floyd vs zoo match up.

    overall, i agree that zoo would have been competitive with floyd bc he was a smart fighter. he knew how to think in the ring and was able to time his hard shots with proper aggressiveness. In terms of intelligence i think he is able to think on the same level as floyd.

    Although prime 4 prime zoo, MIGHT BE the harder puncher, overall floyd just has too much athletic ability for zoo.

    so i agree the fight is competitive. But i wud have to give the edge at least to floyd. However, having edge does not win fights.
