    I think the "Tszyu early" predictions might be selling Mancini's toughness short. How could he go deep with Arguello, yet Tszyu takes him out early? What durable fighter did Tszyu ever stop early?

    Tszyu late is more realistic. Tszyu TKO 9 or 10 sounds about right.

    I might pick Tszyu here, but those picking him to blow out Ray early must not have seen him take Arguello's best shots for 14 rounds.

    No doubt Ray was tough but he was a lightweight at 135 pretty much his whole career. I think he only fought one or twice at 140 and that was when he came back I. The late 80's. Koysta was a very heavy handed guy at 140, might even be the hardest puncher ever at that division. Maybe some us are selling Ray short with the early KO predictions but I just don't see Ray lasting long against him.

    I wasn’t talking about me, just the general consensus on this board.
    For what it’s worth I think Tszyu is overrated on here.
