Tszyu v Mayweather

Zoo wins. He did well against slick boxers, it was pressure fighters who gave him problems. If he hurt Mayweather early, Mayweather would run the rest of the fight, and he wouldn't have the luxury of a slow start like he did against DLH or Judah because Zoo would keep the pressure on.

 

nice try but zoo never fought forrest as a professional roger and julio where shot beyond belief, the rest of those guys are like nobodies:rofl

 

Right now, Floyd wins. that's a no-brainer.

But prime vs prime at 140, Tszyu catches Floyd. I have no doubt about this. People who have tried & failed against PBF in the past don't throw the same straight, quick, accurate & powerful punches as Tszyu. He's versatile in his combinations as well.

Tszyu would have been able to stun floyd at least once, and he's better at following up & finishing than any of Floyd's other opponents.

 

one question for you..does floyd loose to vince phillips in his prime.

 

I have no idea what comparison your trying to make by bringing up MAB vs Hamed. In no way was Hamed a technical fighter, nor a polished fighter. He had his own pedigree much like Mayweather, but I don't think many people would call him well rounded. The thing that gets me is the number of threads brought up about hypothetical matches, and what are in my oppinion ******ed Kostya Tszyu benchmarks. He is the most over-rated fighter on these boards.

You need to take another look at his professional record. He never fought Forest. He fought an antiquated version of Chavez which means absolutely nothing to knowledgeable fight fans. Who else did he beat? Oh, Sharmba Mitchell, Jesse James Leija, and Miguel Angel Gonzales, Zab Judah.. A respectable list of names for a very good fighter which Kostya Tszyu was. However, when you consider what defeated Tszyu, it should leave you no questions as to whether or not he would be able to compete with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

To be honest, I would love to see KT come out of retirement and shut me the **** up, because I would be extremely happy if someone would shut Mayweather up for a change.

Thing is, I have the sense to recognize that when it comes to boxing ability, Mayweather is on an entirely different level than Tszyu.

It might be that Tszyu speaks better english than Mayweather, doesn't suffer from ADD and is able to complete sentences, unlike Mayweather.. But when it comes to boxing this is a no brainer..

 

Your post is what's ridiculous - you neglect to mention all the holding and clinching that took place in the Hatton fight.

I guess that would take some of the impact out of saying Tszyu was too slow to beat a guy who stood in front of him :deal

 

Because Floyd fights like Vince Phillips and Ricky Hatton :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

Oh so I guess the point you're trying to make in your autistic way is that because PBF would probably beat Vince Phillips, then PBF can defnitely beat Tszyu.

Gee, I always thought the whole triangulation theory of "If fighter A can beat fighter B..." was flawed due to the "styles make fights" theory.

I guess not in your asperger's-riddled brain huh chump?

You a dumb mother****er boy :yep

"hurhurhurhurhur!!!!"

 

Are you serious? Hatton should have been DQ'd for excessive holding. He was also throwing elbows, which is also illegal btw. 2 against 1 is hard to beat.

 

no **** sherlock - I wasn't commending Hatton's tactics, I was pointing out to Koa that there was more to it than just 'Ricky Hatton standing there in front of Tszyu all night'

 

Kostya beat nothing but B-level fighters?

That statement hurts your credibility.

Judah, Pineda, Gonzalez , Mitchell, Hurtado to name a few.

Harris was a good B-level fighter. (One loss hardly drops you from HOFer to bum)

And against Hatton, he was almost 36.

Our discussion earlier was based on PRIME Kostya, who would be a bigger puncher at 140 than anyone Mayweather ever faced.

His destruction of Zab (who had a very similar style and speed to Mayweather) should be more than enough to cause Floyd concern.

His strength and precision (and you forgot timing) would definitely keep Mayweather honest.

Like I said to begin with, I'd pick Floyd by 116-112 or therabouts, but he stands about a 40 % chance of being KOd early.

 

Can you list the other nobodies, nobody?

 

Name some of the nobodies, Nobody

 

And I'd like to point out you don't know **** all. In fact you were too lazy to even goto boxrec and get at least a raw picture.

 

Tszu was KO by Vince Phillips... he has done nothing in his career comparable to Mayweather. He is not on Mayweather's level in terms of talent. He is more deified for his one shot landing against Zab Judah than for anything else. he landed the perfect shot and never gave Zab a rematch. Tszu is and was overrated...
