    For all the talk about Tszyu beating Charlo, are we even sure that he can beat American prospects? For now, I don't see how he is better than Lubin in any area and I won't even be surprised if Conwell beats him depending on how well he does against deluca.

    Tszyu is an unproven commodity.

    I'd like 2 see Tszyu mix it with the belt holders.

    Lubin is above prospect status,

    Conwell beats him in my opinion.

    I will make this claim right now. Tszyu is the best 154 pounder in the world there is nobody in the division that can beat him.

    be careful about letting that flag obscure your vision, especially with an untested fighter.

    Funnily enough, Lubin is younger than Tszyu

    I am usually the first to say when Aussie fighters are bums but I am telling you the 154 pound division is weak. That was a good fight yesterday between Charlo and Castano but if they are the two best in the division than LOL.

    What does he do better than Lubin or even Conwell. At a not very stocky 5'9, Tszyu wouldn't be very large for this division. If he goes to USA, he's better off in 147

    I don't know much about Conwell but Tszyu runs over Lubin within 5 rounds he is too fragile for a beast like Tszyu

    Neither of those 2 guys yesterday are out of Tsyzu's reach, the 147lb division is so much stronger than 154lbs

    Young Tim shld put away Liam Smith next and be ready next year for those 2 who fought yesteday

    Tszyu may have the x factor, it could be genetics. I tend to agree, if Castano and Charlo are 1 and 2 then the possibilities at 154 are endless for a 'special' fighter. Problem I see for Tim is that the moment he steps up in class, it's gonna be a huge step up. Even dudes like Liam Smith and Kurbano, that Tim mentioned post fight are so much better than anybody he's fought. Madrimov is my man at the weight, I think he could be special and perhaps Tszyu. I think Tszyu would whack Lubin out quickly. I like Castano, he'd be a great champ but I think he's a stop gap champ rather than long term.

    As mentioned, Tszyu is 5’ 8 1/2” and quite slender. He seems small for 154. Imagine Charlo fighting a slightly taller but thinner Castano.

    Not sure on Tszyu yet. Liam Smith will be a good fight to see where he's at.
