Tim Tszyu is a C+B- level fighter

But...Floyd arguably did better against Zab Judah compared to Kostya

Kostya won only due to very lucky punch in round 2, while Floyd got up after being knocked down by Zab and schooled him over 12 full rounds, arguably 116-111 or something like that.

 

How was it a "lucky punch"? Were his eyes closed? Was he just throwing random punches and one connected?

 

Also besides the chin. Besides the jab and chin Tim Tszyu is like GGG.

Oh and the knock outs. Besides the jab, chin and knock outs Tim Tsyzu is like GGG.

Also cutting off the ring. Besides the jab, chin, knock outs and ability to cut off the ring Tim Tsyzu is like GGG.

Practically twins.

 

You have not detected my sarcazm bro

 

Tim Tszyu is actually a very good fighter and is being underrated by some, not overrated.

 

It looks like a normal post here. But I hear ya

 

B level fighter at best nothing special.

 

He's a B fighter to me which is to say he's solid, consistent from what I've seen of him and has the basics down packed, but I'd not rank him any higher. I think for that he'd need to show he's special in some way whether its good KO power, amazing chin, excellent at feinting, strong ring IQ, etc. whatever the case may be.

Considering GGG never cracked the P4P top 10 despite how good he was, no way is Tszyu doing it and he's basically a poor mans versions of GGG. Unless Tszyu does something to really up his game, I can't see him getting higher than B+ as guys who have talent/are special in some way will always have an edge over him.

 

Yet he's willing to travel to a foreign country to defend his world title, something your hero Mayweather was too cowardly to ever do.

He said he wants his next fight to be in Las Vegas, against Mel Charlo, even though he'll need a KO to win with the dodgy Las Vegas judges.

And he's a MUCH more exciting fighter to watch than Mayweather, who had a safety-first craven running style.

 

He's a stylistic cutout of his father, but not as good as his father was. Which is fine, seeing as no son who had a father on that level ever replicated his father's success. Given that, he's a quality contender who is entertaining. That's enough for me.

I wouldn't have him a favorite over Charlo, however.

 

He could have a better resume than his dad when it's all said and done.

 

Why in the hell would pbf who lived and fought in the mecca of boxing las vegas Nevada while at one point being the biggest draw in the sport feel the need to travel over seas for the fight?? Does that make any sense to you? Did oscar leave America for a fight when he was the biggest draw in boxing? Of course not! This just didn't start with pbf casual..Tim will never be as great or as big of a draw as pbf you bitter hating fool pbf was so boring yet he had the biggest ppvs in the history of boxing. Pbf had the career Tim could only dream of having along with 99% of boxers whoever fought in the history of the sport. The guy made the most money ever retired undefeated and has idiots like you almost a decade later still in their feelings. He clearly did something right lmfao!

 

He's sort of like a more skilled David Benavides. Fast hands, good chin, walks down his opponents.
