    also I really can't think of anyone at 140 that could transfer every last ounce of bodyweight into a punch better than Tszyu, yet do it quick and without sacrificing much at all in the way of defense

    Just ask Zab Judah

    Hoya.

    Too fast, too big and too strong for Zoo.

    De La Hoya by UD
    Too much jab, for Zoo's precise 2 three punches at a time.

    The DLH at 140 that destroyed Chavez had a look in his eye of red that he wanted to really hurt his opponets and poor Tszyu would get stuck in the ring with that aminal. Tszyu never fought anyone close to DLHs level and it would shot from rounds 5-8.

    I'd lean towards DLH. It should be a good tough fight for both guys. I wouldn't really take too much from the Vince Phillips fight though, not stylistically. The main weapon Phillips used against Tszyu was a straight right though, and DLH was much more effective with his left hand than his right.

    I think Tszyu has a better chance at beating Mosley @ 140.

    I think this fight is a pick em.

    The first fighter who DLH fought who was technically as good and a very live opponent was Ike Quartey. In this fight DLH fought cautiously and gave Ike too much respect.

    If DLH fought Tszyu like this i really can see Tszyu breaking DLH down and winning a UD. Tszyu hits as hard as Quartey (Phillips actually said Tszyu was the hardest hitting fighter he fought) and he has a much, much better boxing brain.

    Having said that DLH holds height,reach,and speed over Tszyu and DLH has proven his worth from 135-160.

    Its hard to pick a solid result.

    DLH UD. I think his jab would be too much for Tszyu. Just don't leave that jab out there too long Oscar cause you might get caught.
