    I've seen this before. I've never heard it elsewhere, but I don't think if you asked Dundee up front, he would respond with Kostya Tszyu.

    Sorry no. Their resumes aren't comparable. PBF has beaten better fighters overall, never lost, won more titles, etc.

    If PBF fought Tzu after the fight with gatti, and Tzu foght PBF after his fight with Zab. You are saying that Tzu would beat PBF?:think

    And Floyds next fight is against the big name, past it, over the hill......:nut

    Tszyu was WAY over-rated due to his win over Judah that was a questionable stoppage in a lot of peoples minds, and Judah has been proven to be nothing special since then anyway, as has Kostya.

    There is no "many"...nearly every outlet scored it for PBF, actually every single one I have seen. A vast majority thought PBF won clearly....and KT got KO'd in his prime. You can't win this argument based on facts.

    No Kostya didn't crush him, it was a bad stoppage as I said. As I recall, Kostya was getting beaten up for the first 4-5 minutes of that fight, Zab got caught and no doubt Nady got paid :yep

    If it had gone on a few more rounds no doubt Kostya would have quit, like he did against Hatton. Best P4P ever? Nope.

    Unless Zab Judah is a schizophrenic it wasn't. Judah was ****ing out of it.

    Questionable? Bull****.

    Come on guys, this shouldn't be a discussion that anyone gets worked up about. Kostya Tszyu is not even close to being the best fighter ever.

    Most reasonable people can agree that he is one of the top junior welterweights of all time. He has one of the best amateur records ever, beat a lot of good opponents, including fighters who were present or former champions, unified all three belts, etc. These accomplishments are nothing to sneeze at. But best ever? That is a damn high standard to be held to.

    You recall wrong. It was a tentative first round, until Judah caught Tszyu with a very nice lead uppercut and maybe one or two more big shots until the round ended. Zab won that round no doubt. But the second round was all Tszyu's. Zab had absolutely nothing going for him that around, and then got knocked out by one shot. You lose credibility here by calling it a bad stoppage and being unreasonably biased against KT.

    And by the way, Tszyu was 35 years old, out of his prime years, and in what turned out to be his last fight when he quit against Hatton. But all of a sudden, the consensus for what would happen if he was ever in a tough fight is that he would quit? You're making yourself look stupid, man.
