Tsyzu vs Mayweather

Dream fight for me. Floyd MD. Kostya serves him a **** storm though. Possibly puts Floyd down with that thunderbolt right

 

Floyd, no doubt.

 

Floyd never fought a guy in his career that hit like Kostya, and KT's underrated hand speed would have got the job done.
Look at common opponents, there aren't many, but Tszyu obliterated Judah and Shamba at their prime weight classes, while Floyd had some trouble despite them moving up in weight and already having been brutalized by Tszyu.

 

This would be a replay of Mayweather-Corrales. Tsyzu straight up, missing, and getting countered all night long. No matter how much power Tsyzu has, he's rendered impotent by Floyd's defense, speed and reflexes. I'd expect Tsyzu to finish on his feet , but his face would be beet red, only partly from embaressment.

 

Floyd would get that Roger payback. Tszyu got Roger at the end of his career. Money just has too much everything for this guy. This is the kinda guy Floyd can beat at any weight. if Money back then came in around 135 - 140lbs, Tszyu could've come in up to 150lbs at fight night and Money would've used the ring to punch him senseless!

 

Mayweather, probably 7 rounds (minimum) over Tsyzu for a clear UD

Tsyzu hits super hard, but that ain't enough to beat Mayweather. That's not to say he won't make Mayweather do the chicken dance in the early rounds, maybe even a knockdown.

 

Mayweather would give him a good slappin.

A 120-108 decision wouldn't be too far fetched.

 

You say that like Tszyu was some sort of straight forward plodder. The guy was incredibly fast, (no one's straight right was faster or harder in his day) he had a great jab and balance, and did excellent body work. Not to mention the obvious power.
And in his prime, he was a guy that matched Mayweather in conditioning.

 

Tszyu had decent movement and fair handspeed but Floyd prior to 2003 would not have been touched at all by any significant. Floyd just has too much hand speed, defense, footwork, overall ring generalship. The Hatton fight isn't even a blue print to beat Tszyu and he folded to a sub par boxer like Ricky? And believe me the only time Tszyu could match Money's conditioning was whrn Floyd fought Spadafora on Youtube.

 

Tszyu was a master at cutting the ring without use a lot of energy. A Tszyu -Floyd would be close to Tszyu-Judah. Floyd probably last 5-6 rounds.
Tszyu would be very motivated not like the Hatton fight . Tszyu believed it would be an
easy night. Some of his fights he did not deliver often when he did expect an easy fight.

 

Floyd's ends up doing the Zab-dance before the 12th.

 

In several interviews during the early years of Floyd´s career, he showed tremendous respect for Kostya Tszyu. He knew Kostya was no joke. In fact during the late 1990s early 2000s, Floyd saw Kostya as his breakthrough fight.

Remember that Kostya destroyed Roger Mayweather.

He always claimed that Kostya was a victim of a biased ref in his fight agains Hatton. That´s the reason Joe Cortez was assigned to the Hatton fight.

 

Some people think that Kostya´s win over Zab Judah was a fluke. That´s nonesense. By the early seconds of round 2, Kostya was already timing Zab, who started to backpedal.

 

Tszyu, one of the 5 best fighter of all time at any weight vs Mayweather top ten all time at anyweight.

Tszyu takes this with an awe inspiring display the Americans picking Mayweather here couldn't even begin to comprehend.
