    I still think KT has the perfect style to beat PBF .. there wasnt anybody with his uncanny ability to time that laser guided right hand that would knock somebody out cold.

    The only type of fighter that KT has problems with are roughousing pressure fighters... Mayweather doesnt fit that bill.

    That said it will still be a hard fight to predict.

    Floyd isn't a runner and he is too skilled defensively for running to be his main defence against a right hand.

    You can't count a Kostya ko out but I think Floyds chin will stand up to it. He'll need to land more than few to get the desired effect.

    Tszyu would crack his egg chin and make him do the chicken dance!

    Neither fighters can compare to Floyd. Floyd whopped both of their ass anyway. Tszyu is no match for Floyd, prime or now :yep

    Zab rocked Kostya 2 or 3 times in the first round. Imagine what Floyd would do. Floyd would have countered him all night. If Zab would have stayed aggressive like the first round, he could have possibly one the fight, but we know Zab is a strong starter, but can't finish.

    Theres alot of talk about Kostya destroying 2 slick and fast fighters in Judah and Sharmba Mitchell but those guys where southpaws and it made it alot easier for Kostya Tszyu to land his massive straight right hand on them. Floyds alot smarter and skilled then Judah and Mitchell and thats a proven fact he would take away Tszyus straight right just like he took away Oscars lefthook. KT would have his moments but Floyds win 8-4 UD. KT has been in exactly 2 tough fights in his career one where he was brutally knocked out by Vince Phillips and the other when Hatton made him quit with only a round left in a close bout.

    That doesn't make any sense at all because Zab is a far harder puncher than Floyd.

    kostya gets a little overrated by some here. underrated by others. his right was very very accurate. but he was best with it against slick SOUTHPAWS, who kinda walk right into it anyway. very good fighter but i don't think he takes a defensive genious like floyd. pbf keeps that right completely worthless almost all night.

    man it really is unfortunate that Tzyu is being so underrated by some people. I think it is because a lot of people who became fans of boxing in the last couple of years missed his best fights.
    Trust me Tzyu was an animal in his prime. I bet on Mayweather every time he fights because it is easy money...but against tzyu i would bet against him.
    Tzyu had such pinpoint accuracy with that right hand, and despite what someone else said earlier it was boxers who had trouble with Tzyu not the other way around.

    Yeah a bigger puncher, but I was talking about Floyd landing punches on Tszyu easily.

    Right. I thought for a second you were implying that if Zab rocked Tszyu than Floyd would do worse damage.
