    Maidana by brutal ko!!! If Phillips and Hatton gave hell to Tszyu, Maidana murders him!!!

    Tszyu takes him apart. Really respect the style of Maidana that went for it against Mayweather and Khan. But ultimately class will prevail and Kostya Wins a top fight but with a UD.

    Tszyu beats up Maidana and takes a comfortable UD.

    I think Tszyu in a surprisingly wide UD.

    He's just going to maul and wear down someone as talented as Tszyu? I think Tszyu would have a field day timing Maidana with sharp, hard shots.

    Maidana had Power, but he was bad, when he had to finish a hurt opponent. I guess Tszyu would have survived a few scares and would win over 12.

    Great thread. I think it would be a fantastic fight and honestly I can see it go either way. If I had to pick I'd say Tszyu would be able to tie up Maidana when buzzed or against the ropes and be able to time him with those hard straight punches. All out war would break out in spots. The P4P version Tszyu would out box him if he couldn't out hit him. Maidana was never stopped so Tszyu in 12.

    Phillips wore and mauled Zoo down and he's not better than Maidana.

    Tszyu would beat the **** out of Maidana. It would be a good fight and Maidana would land bombs and have his moments but Tszyu would punish him severely.

    tszyu beats the tattoos off chino. maidana gets a straight right to the mouth every time he loads up that overhand right.

    I really like this fight in terms of intrigue.

    Maidana making a couple of trips to the canvas before being stopped around the 8th. Tsyzu was a very very good fighter.

    Indeed an interesting match-up … tough stylistic matchup but I am thinking the difference in class is too much for Maidana here, especially at 140.

    IMHO Maidana is a bit overrated due to pushing Floyd in the first fight where Floyd didn't take Maidana seriously and came up against the worst possible stylistic matchup. Tszyu hits harder and at his peak probably keeps Maidana off for a decision.

    Of course, on the other side there is Tszyu's loss to Vince Phillips, showing what could go wrong. But Tszyu had a bad night and didn't take that one seriously either, can't judge a man on one performance.
