OK THIS IS THE DEAL Kostya Tszyu vs Floyd Mayweather Jnr. Had they met when Kostya was at his prime, I'd say say Kostya would have knocked mayweather out, just like he did with Zab Judah. Floyd had trouble knocking Zab out, yet Kostya disposed of him in under 2 rounds.. Kostya has way too much power and accuray. Floyd likes fighting on the outside, which is Kostya's specialty. Mayweather would have been on the canvas by way of Kostya's accuracy and timing...:good
Mayweather UD. Floyd WILL run from that right all night long. I wouldnt count out a Kostya KO at all. Kostya is very deceiving, just when a boxer think they have him figured out, timing, distance Kostya can throw punches really fast if he wants to and time it perfectly.
I think it would be a tough close fight. Tszyu has been pretty good at dealing with quick fighters (although they are sometimes lefties) and timing them. He was an intelligent fighter with a good sense of range and timing. He had that accurate right hand, a nice jab, and at his peak, pretty good hand speed. Floyd, as we all know, is a very intelligent fighter, with terrific speed of both foot and hand. Tszyu didn't move his head enough, and I think Floyd would exploit this with his straight right hand a lot, along with his jab (which is sometimes underused, but a very good jab). Floyd by decision, 7-5, 8-4 type of fight.
I think you mean to say Kostya had problems with pressure fighters because Tszyu ate boxers for breakfast. Tszyu would KO Floyd once he found his range and timing.
I've seen them,thanks though!You watch his first fight with Mitchell,his fight with Leija,his fight with phillips,and the first round with Judah then get back to me.
:huh where do you get this from? Tszyu killed boxers. Judah, Mitchell, Rodriguez, Hurtado were all chopped down. Tszyu's timing and accuracy is unheard of. Tszyu catches Floyd with a sledgehammer right hand and knocks Floyd out.
Im certaintly no expert on Tszyu...I was just going on what I seen in his fights with Mitchell(1st one),Leija,and the first round of the Judah fight.But since so many are disagreeing with me here,apparently I may have been strecthing a bit.You guys seem to have done your homework.My bad!
KT has too much power in his right hand.. its just a matter of time before he catches Floyd with it..don't think he can take KT's punch...
